Why choose between seven years of updates and a removable battery when you can have both?

- Samsung has launched the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro smartphone.
- The new rugged phone has seven years of updates and a removable battery.
- The phone launches in the US on May 8, but there’s no word on pricing yet due to tariffs.
Samsung has long offered its XCover range of rugged Android phones, bringing a more durable design and some extras for enthusiasts. The XCover 7 launched over a year ago while the XCover 6 Pro was launched way back in 2022. Now, the company has revealed the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro.
The new smartphone earns its rugged credentials thanks to an IP68 rating, MIL-STD-810H design, and Gorilla Glass Victus Plus protection. Samsung adds that the phone’s display has been tested to withstand sanitizers so the screen doesn’t degrade over time with constant cleaning.
