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.
The Ulefone Power Armor 19T is a rugged smartphone that packs a punch in terms of features. As a user who has been testing various rugged phones for the past two years, I was impressed by its value for money and comprehensive set of features. Design-wise, the phone boasts a premium design with a metal frame and polycarbonate back, making it feel sturdy and solid in hand. The camera block is protected by a protruding bumper, which adds to the phone's ruggedness. The left side has a customizable button, while the right side features volume rockers and power buttons. The phone comes with an impressive 108MP main sensor, making it one of the best rugged smartphones for camera performance. The thermal imaging feature is also a standout, allowing users to take temperature readings and view heat maps. Under the hood, the Mediatek Helio G99 SOC delivers smooth performance, even when playing resource-intensive games. The phone's 6.58-inch IPS LCD panel offers good color accuracy, with vivid colors and dark blacks. The battery life is also impressive, with a 9600mAh battery that can be charged at 66 watts. Wireless charging is supported, as well as reverse wireless charging. Overall, the Ulefone Power Armor 19T is an excellent choice for those seeking a rugged smartphone with good performance, camera capabilities, and long battery life. Its comprehensive feature set and value for money make it a great option in this category.
