Samsung unveiled Galaxy XCover 5, engineered for the field and factory

Just recently, we’ve seen the massive Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 leak that leaves nothing for imagination. A reliable source confirmed its front and back design as well as all the specifications. Now, the company has officially unveiled its next rugged smartphone – Galaxy XCover 5 that is designed to handle demanding jobs while meeting the needs of an increasingly mobile workforce.

The Galaxy XCover 5 now becomes the latest rugged smartphone offering from Samsung. This device equips various features to handle demanding jobs and activities. Its IP68 rating ensures users for its dust and water resistance as it can be submerged in over a meter of water for longer than 30 minutes with complete protection against dust.

On the other hand, the enhanced shock absorption enables XCover 5 to withstand drops of up to 1.5 meters. Moreover, due to the requirements of health and safety precautions, professionals in this field must wear gloves, so the “glove touch” function increases touch sensitivity, allowing users to operate the device while wearing gloves for quick and convenient use.
