Samsung’s XCover series is recognized for its robust smartphones, with the latest addition being the XCover 7, which was introduced exactly one year ago. Although there were indications that a successor might be on the horizon, it appears that Samsung is not finished with the XCover 7 series just yet.
A recent report from Android Authority reveals that the company is developing the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro, which will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, in contrast to the standard model that utilizes the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+. This information was derived from code snippets reportedly sourced from credible informants.
As a member of the rugged smartphone category, the Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro is anticipated to possess MIL-STD-810H certification for enhanced durability, along with an IP rating for protection against dust and water. For reference, here is a brief overview of the standard Galaxy XCover 7’s specifications.
The smartphone boasts military-grade MIL-STD-810H certification, and its IP68 rating for water and dust resistance guarantees resilience in challenging conditions. Internally, the device is powered by a 6nm octa-core processor, likely the Dimensity 6100+ SoC, accompanied by 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage.
Additionally, it features a 6.6-inch FHD+ TFT display with a 20:9 aspect ratio for an engaging viewing experience. The device operates on Android 14 with One UI 6 pre-installed.
