Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro 64GB - Black

After many years with the Samsung active I broke down and replaced it with this phone. First looks I was not impressed but I needed a phone and I loved my active and was informed that this was the replacement for it. I never had to have a otter case for my active due to how durable it was. My active I truly believe was the most durable phone ever! After 5 mins of holding this clunker I knew it needed a cover. After having this phone for a few month I can honestly say I HATE IT. Nothing like the active. Its plastic feel and its clunky button set up along with its laggy input remind me of something I could have paid 40 dollars for at Wal-Mart. This is the worst phone I think I could of chosen to replace the active.

I advise anyone looking to replace their active to stay away from this phone. You wont like it.

Acts and works just like a new phone.

Phone looked like a new one and has outstanding performance for 1/4 the cost of what Verizon or ATT offers it for;. Migrated all the data and apps from my aging Samsung J36v phone. Removed SIM card and put in this phone and so far it performs extremely well. This despite the double speak and misleading info by Verizon about limited use for being able to use only on their business account...pure bait and switch. Anyway, so far so good and great to have a phone that has a replaceable battery. What's not to like?

It's not dead yet

I brought this phone from Samsung 12 months ago. I have had one issue with the USB port not charging but Samsung fixed it and returned it within a week.The phone has lasted well. I am a farmer so it gets bashed about quite a bit. I have bought a extra case for it for added protection which has helped save it the few times its fallen out of my pocket onto concrete. The water proofing works well, you can use it in the rain without the screen freezing, the graphics are good as are the speakers. I am running 2 sim cards and forever dropping in and out of signal, between WIFI signals and on and off blue-tooth but still manage to have 40% battery at the end of the day with moderate use.The only down side is the lack of wireless charging and the fact that Samsung don't ... MoreI brought this phone from Samsung 12 months ago.

My Favorite Phone So Far

Good Android ruggedized phone. Got one for my wife as a test case, and several months later, I purchased this one. That's about the best testimony I could give. Pros: Good rugged form factor and great battery life. Good bright screen resolution. Cons: Hard getting accustom to the recessed power switch, but is is NOT a show stopper. Slight issue with others understanding me on Speaker Phone mode, but it may just be THIS phone. No issue with my wife's phone.

Poor choice if yours has the same issues as mine.

Disappointing on so many levels.It's a Telstra Blue Tick phone but loses signals when all around it other phones are working.It has been returned under warranty twice but as the testing it passed confirms, signal strength reception isn't tested.So issues with service as well as denial of being not fit for use. Not sold through Samsung but via 3rd party online stores that then subbed out the sale to another entity. No way to have got a refund when first I realised how poor the phone was: at least this example anyway.Only phone in 26 years of having a mobile that has ever been damaged, dropped from seat height and the main camera is now out of focus.

Very please with the hardware features, CPU & amount of memory, running Android 11

Much better than the "Galaxy S5" I have had for last 6 years, which was only a Android 4.4 OS, but it was better than the "LG Chocolate" I had before that. I got the 64 GB model, don't think your saving money and get less memory. Very snappy hardware, now running Android 11. I have been waiting for a year to get this phone used, for under $250, it's rated for commercial use and is the only modern cell with a replaceable battery. I went through 5 batteries on my old phone, over the years.. The current phone manufactures really target the young people, as they don't have any long-term life experience to understand the mandatory need for easily replaceable batteries. Same goes for laptop computers, you would have to be dense to get a device that you could not easily ... MoreMuch better than the "Galaxy S5" I have had for last 6 years, which was only a Android 4.4 OS, but it was better than the "LG Chocolate" I had before that.

I installed a 64 G m-SD chip, so this phone has plenty of memory now, for video, photos and audio files. 5 stars +++++
