Samsung presents the new XCover 5, a phone aimed at professionals that will protect both the body and the contents inside. For the former you have its improved shock absorption capacity, with a double IP68 dust and water resistance and MIL-STD810H certifications, as well as a Corning Gorilla Glass 6. This means it will withstand drops of up to 1.5 metres and can be submerged in more than one metre of water for more than 30 minutes. It's a fully rugged model.
Protected by Samsung Knox
Devices designed for professionals need to protect work-related information. The new Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 integrates Samsung Knox, the security platform that offers end-to-end protection with defence at every layer of the device, from the chip to every app, into its hardware. It will protect sensitive business information in real time and respond to malware and threats you encounter.
You'll have a smartphone and a walkie-talkie (among other tools)
When you're looking for a work phone, you need a model that is like a Swiss Army Knife. And that's what the new Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 is, because it offers solutions to all the scenarios you might find yourself in. For example, it integrates the Microsoft Teams walkie-talkie to communicate with your colleagues by radio. Its Push to Talk feature allows you to contact anyone at the touch of a button. It also has a customisable key so you can choose which feature it offers: from turning on the LED torch, activating Google Maps or accessing a specific application.
A display you can use with gloves on
That's right. The new Galaxy XCover 5's 5.3-inch panel with HD+ resolution (1600x720px) gives you a richly detailed viewing experience. You'll be on the right track, taking photos and videos as well as watching multimedia content (it's not all about work) in great quality. Samsung knows that professionals who buy these models are sometimes in environments where taking off their gloves is difficult. Increase the screen's touch sensitivity with its Glove mode, which allows you to use it even if your hands get wet in the rain or snow.
Great performance
With its octa-core Exynos850 processor and 4GB of RAM, the new Galaxy XCover 5 will deliver the performance every professional demands. It has 64GB of internal storage that you can expand with an SD card of up to 256GB. Its replaceable 3000 mAh battery gives you long battery life and supports 15W fast charging via USB Type-C and POGO connection, both included. You'll spend more time focused on your tasks and less time plugged in. All this powered by the Android 11 operating system.
Cameras for professionals
Buy the Samsung Galaxy XCover 5, equipped with a 16 MP rear camera, which makes it easy to capture professional images and videos. Its Live Focus feature highlights the subject of the shot and its Samsung Knox Capture enables professional document scanning - you no longer need a scanner in the office. It also has an LED torch for illumination in darker environments. Its 5MP front camera allows you to make video calls and unlock your phone with your face. Finally, it has an NFC chip that will allow you to use the phone as your bank or transport card.
