Samsung's latest rugged phone and tablet bring the power of 5G connectivity to the table and a promise of up to five years worth of software updates.
Samsung is adding a couple of new rugged devices to its portfolio – the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro tablet and the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro phone. Both are targeted at enterprise usage and frontline workers braving harsh conditions. The physical buttons on the phone and tablet can be programmed for a variety of tasks such as sending emergency SOS messages or enabling the walkie-talkie function.
Samsung doesn’t reveal the processor make, and instead only notes that it is based on the 6nm fabrication process. The onboard storage maxes out at 128GB, but the microSD card slot allows storage expansion by an extra terabyte. Another neat feature of the two rugged devices is a replaceable battery, and there’s also an option for charging via pogo pins.
The Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro and Galaxy XCover 6 Pro can also be used as POS counters, and thanks to the in-house Knox system, they can be deployed for bar code scanning in warehouses. For the tablet, Samsung is promising three OS upgrades, while the Galaxy X Cover 6 Pro will get four Android version updates, matching the strategy Samsung has put in place for its flagship phones. Both devices will also get security updates for five years.
The Galaxy XCover 6 Pro’s display is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus+, which is said to be capable of withstanding drops from a height of 1.5 meters, while also promising high resistance to scratches. The Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro, on the other hand, goes with the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 that promises drop protection from a maximum height of 1 meter.
