Samsung is bringing a new Android phone to its Galaxy family, a model which combines a protective housing with IP67 certification and scratch-resistant touch screen display, this is the new Samsung Galaxy Xcover.
Samsun’s new rugged smartphone can resist dust, dirt, shock, and can sustain up to 1m under water for 30 minutes, pretty impressive, so don’t worry if you drop it. The Galaxy Xcover has a 3.6-inch and is powered by 800MHz processor, along with 150 MB of internal memory and 512MB of RAM, plus microSD card slot for more storage space. It offers quad-band GSM and dual-band UMTS / HSDPA, along with 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS receiver. On the back it is equipped with a 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash, which also can be used as a flashlight or signal light, and also offers a secondary VGA front facing camera for video calls.
The Galaxy Xcover comes pre-loaded with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and will be available from October.
