Samsung Launches Rugged Galaxy XCover7 Pro, Tab Active5 Pro
When life – or work – takes you to rough terrain, your tech needs to keep up. Samsung understands this need. They just launched two new devices tough enough to take the rough and tumble. Meet the Galaxy XCover7 Pro smartphone and the Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro tablet. These are not average consumer-grade devices. They are business-built, field-grade, for anyone who wants devices as rugged as they are.
Galaxy XCover7 Pro: Power and Security in Your Palm
The Galaxy XCover7 Pro is a serious upgrade from its predecessors. Samsung has raised the intelligence of this phone significantly. It is filled with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor. This means performance is roughly twice as fast as before. You also get 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Storage can increase to a massive 2TB with a memory card. This offers plenty of space for work and play.
Battery life is valuable when you are away from a desk. The XCover7 Pro has a 4350mAh battery. Charging is flexible with USB Type-C and Pogo pin. Of course, serious durability is essential for an XCover phone. The phone is IP68 water and dust resistant and MIL-STD-810H tested for toughness. Samsung even puts these devices through common disinfectants, something many industries require.
Tough does not mean basic. The XCover7 Pro possesses a smooth 120Hz 6.6-inch Full HD+ screen covered with Gorilla Glass Victus+. It is glove-ready for use. Other interesting features are loud stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, customizable shortcut keys for quick action, a walkie-talkie mode, a 50MP main camera, and NFC.
Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro: Strong Screen Toughness for Demanding Applications
Want an even bigger screen that is also functional in harsh environments? Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro delivers. It has a 10.1-inch, 120Hz screen that is also brighter at up to 600 nits, along with enhanced protection. It shares the same heavy-duty Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip as XCover7 Pro. This provides identical performance from both devices. You can select between 6GB and 8GB RAM, along with 128GB and 256GB storage.
A massive 10,100mAh battery drives through long working days. Hot-swappable battery support means you can work uninterrupted. It can even be charged directly from a power source if needed. The Tab Active5 Pro is, like the phone, IP68 and MIL-STD-810H certified. Even the included S Pen stylus is water and dust resistant.
Unique features for Tab Active5 Pro include screen-NFC. This allows it to function as a would-be POS terminal. It is also Samsung DeX enabled for desktop-like functionality. In addition to these features, it has stereo speakers, a headphone jack, and customizable buttons.
Coming Soon and Pricing
Galaxy XCover7 Pro and Tab Active5 Pro are both expected to launch towards the later part of April. European prices are approximately €610 for XCover7 Pro and €810 for Tab Active5 Pro. For corporate use and business professionals seeking tough, long-lasting gear that will not sacrifice performance, Samsung's new rugged duo is a good bet.
