Samsung is reportedly working on a new rugged smartphone tentatively named the Galaxy Xcover 7, which is set to follow in the footsteps of the Xcover 6 Pro, released last year. AndroidHeadlines has released a report featuring what appear to be official renders of the forthcoming Xcover 7, providing an early look at its design.
Samsung Galaxy Xcover 7 design revealed
The leaked renders show that the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 7 will feature a waterdrop notch and a single rear camera with dual-LED flash, all enclosed in a rugged build. The report states that the rear shell of the device is removable, which suggests that it could be equipped with a user-replaceable battery.
The device is equipped with an Xcover physical button, which can be configured to launch an app, access the push-to-talk feature, and so on. The report states that the rugged phone will be a MIL-STD-810H compliant and IP68-rated dustproof and water-resistant device.
Unfortunately, the report has no information about the specifications of the Galaxy Xcover 7. The Xcover 6 Pro from last year came equipped with the Snapdragon 778G chipset. Being a non-Pro device, the Xcover 7 could be equipped with a less powerful chipset. At present, there is no word on whether Samsung plans to launch a Pro version of the device.
According to a recent report, the Xcover 7 has the SM-G556B model number, which is similar to the SM-A556B model number that is associated with the upcoming Galaxy A55. Hence, it is likely that the Xcover 7 could end up as a rugged version of the A55, which is expected to feature the forthcoming Exynos 1480 chipset. The other details of the A55 are under wraps.
