Samsung Galaxy XCover 5

The Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 is a budget phone that feels like a cheap device from five years ago. The packaging is minimal and flimsy, with no premium feel whatsoever. Upon opening the phone, it's clear that the design is outdated, with huge bezels and a low-quality display. The phone comes without a case or screen protector, which is disappointing considering its rugged design. The battery is also exposed, making me question its durability. I'm not a fan of this type of design, as it can be prone to damage when dropped. The phone's specs are equally underwhelming, with a 5.3-inch PLS display and a resolution of 720x1480p. It has a single 16MP camera on the back and a 5MP selfie camera at the front. The device comes with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 3000mAh battery. What's most frustrating is that Samsung forces you to connect to Wi-Fi throughout the setup process, which feels like an unnecessary step. The cameras are also subpar, especially considering the price point. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the Galaxy XCover 5 to anyone looking for a reliable phone. For around €300, you can get a better Xiaomi device that will blow this phone out of the water. Even if you're a fan of Samsung's rugged design, there are better options available. In short, the Galaxy XCover 5 is a cheap phone with outdated design and subpar specs. It feels like a throwaway device from five years ago, rather than a modern smartphone. If you're looking for a durable phone, I'd recommend considering other options.

realme C11 2021

Let's dive in and explore its features and capabilities!
