Samsung is a brand well known to the general public. Historic number one in the smartphone market – although this position has recently been challenged by fierce competition – the South Korean giant is also a major player in the sector of phones dedicated to the professional world. The brand equips the fleets of large groups such as Stellantis (Peugeot, Citroën, etc.) or even certain ministries. So arrives the freshly formalized Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro.
This is a rugged smartphone that promises to be “ very resistant without compromising too much on design. Thus, despite its shockproof design, it has a thickness of 9.9 mm and weighs 235 grams. In absolute terms, it’s substantial, but the XCover 6 Pro has been refined and lightened compared to its predecessors. On the durability side, the device puts forward its arguments:
- military certification MIL-STD 810H;
- iP68 for waterproofing;
- Victory Gorilla Glass protection.
