Samsung Galaxy XCover 7

The Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 is a rugged smartphone designed for users who need a device that can withstand rough handling and harsh environments. Its primary camera and display are recessed to protect them from scratches, and the screen is safeguarded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+. The phone has also been certified to IP68 and MIL-STD-810H standards, making it dustproof and waterproof. In terms of durability, the XCover 7 performs well, withstanding drops from chest height and routine cleaning with disinfectant. However, its construction is not flawless, with noticeable creaking when the back cover is warped by hand. The device's dimensions are nearly identical to those of the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro, making it a relatively slim outdoor phone. The phone's storage specifications seem impressive at first glance - 128GB of storage space and 6GB of RAM. However, the use of slower UFS 2.1 technology for data storage may be a drawback compared to competitors with faster technology. The USB-C port supports only USB 2.0 speeds, which limits data transfers. The phone runs on Android 14 with Samsung's One UI 6.0 interface, which significantly alters the look and operation of Android. Security patches are up-to-date, and Samsung promises to provide security updates for five years. In terms of performance, the XCover 7 takes good-quality pictures for its price range, but image sharpness is mediocre, and exposure can be inconsistent. The phone's battery life and display performance are also notable, with a 5G-enabled device that supports a wide range of frequencies in both LTE and 5G networks. However, signal strength could be better, and the phone falls short compared to high-end devices despite its plastic back. Overall, the XCover 7 is a solid choice for those who need a rugged smartphone, but may not offer the same level of performance as higher-end models.

Ulefone Armor 27T

The Ulefone Armor 27T Pro is a rugged powerhouse that builds upon its predecessor's design cues from the Doogee V20 Pro. The phone's tank-like build makes it resistant to dust and water, with IP68/IP69K certification and MIL-STD-810G standards ensuring it can withstand rough handling. The 6.78-inch IPS LCD display has a 120Hz refresh rate but lacks AMOLED brightness. While decent for general use, 4K content is downscaled to 1080p. The phone's audio capabilities are limited to a single bottom speaker, which may not be sufficient for media or gaming enthusiasts. The camera setup consists of a 50MP main sensor, 64MP night vision camera, and 32MP front camera. While good for casual shots, low-light performance requires a steady hand. The night vision camera is particularly useful, allowing up to 20 meters visibility in complete darkness with infrared lighting. The thermal imaging feature, which uses a FLIR sensor, operates at a lower 9Hz refresh rate compared to the predecessor's 25Hz. While this results in more accurate temperature readings, it may not provide the smoothest video experience. The phone's battery is large, with a 10,600mAh capacity that can last 4-5 days of heavy use or weeks on light usage. The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip provides decent performance for everyday tasks but feels dated for more demanding activities like gaming. With 12GB RAM and 256GB storage (expandable to 2TB via microSD), the phone's real-world performance is solid, although not ideal for heavy apps or games at max settings. Overall, the Ulefone Armor 27T Pro excels in its thermal imaging accuracy, rugged durability, and long-lasting battery. Its price point of around $300 makes it a great value if you prioritize these features over top-tier gaming performance.
