I've already had my phone replaced due to a faulty back light and the same thing has happened yet again. The phone is gone for 2 weeks. A huge disruption to my business and many hours of my time backing up and transferring files from one phone to another. I recommend replacing this phone with something else , because as long as Samsung will not admit to this being a systemic issue with this model(and permanently fix the issue), every time the phone is replaced, it will have the same fault re-occur yet again! Absolutely insulting the way that Samsung treat their customers. I will be requesting a full refund and never purchase this phone again. My hard earned money spent for a so called 'tough military standard' phone...and they don't even offer spare batteries online or from retailers.... or even make a stand alone spare battery charger like they did with the S5 or even offer a factory POGO phone charging dock. Why then build a phone with POGO pins and removable battery in the first place??? Never again. What a waste of my valuable TIME, my LIFE HOURS and my MONEY!!! An otherwise good phone concept and experience sullied due to poor customer care by SAMSUNG.

I'm hugely disappointed that they use PWM for this display. Shame on you, Samsung

I had high hopes for this one, but it seems like a step back from the S8 Active all round. I know it's positioned as a mid-ranger, but there are $300 phones with much better performance and battery life, so it should be doing more to compete.

Such a shame, because the form factor and ruggedness are great. I even prefer IPS at this screen size because I'm sensitive to pentile effects.

So close...

Compared cameras to my Galaxy S8 while in the store, less details, more noise, smearing and darker images, how come they cant add decent camera from yesteryear for 499 euros?! Yeah, yeah, they charge you tripple for mediocre specs just for the sake of "enterprise" features, sure, if only businesses buy these for work needs, like mobile sales terminals, ID scanning and hazardous work environments, then OK, but for the rest of us its just waste of opportunity.
Still looking for rugged smart phone with decent cameras, this is not one.

The Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro is a robust phone built for tough environments. Apart from the robust case design, it mainly tries to win over prospective customers with its camera. In our review, we take a closer look at the outdoor smartphone.
