The Major Highlights of Samsung Galaxy Xcover 5:

Design:

The Samsung Galaxy Xcover 5 emerges with a robust, strong build quality with a classic outlook. The phone’s body is IP68 dust/water-resistant. It can survive up to 1.5m for 30 mins on water or dust to save your device from unwanted damages. It arrives in the market only in Black colour. Its body dimensions are- 147.1 x 71.6 x 9.2 mm and its weight is- 172 grams.

Display: 

Samsung contributed a 5.3-inch PLS TFT display with a resolution of 720 x 1480p and an 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The display hasn’t a notch for the selfie lens. It has a pixel density of 311 PPI, and a corning Gorilla Glass v6 protects its panel.

This small 5.3-inch PLS TFT panel presents natural colours and contrasts- for ensuring an excellent visual experience for video streaming, web browsing and your other tasks. However, Samsung could have brought an FHD+ AMOLED display at this price. 

Chipset and Memory:

Samsung has fetched the Exynos 850 (8nm) SoC- for powering up the Xcover 5. The Exynos 850 is an octa-core SoC, which takes place with a Mali-G52 GPU. (4×2.0 GHz, Cortex-A55 & 4×2.0 GHz, Cortex-A55). Ram and Internal Storage: The handset is holding 4 Gb ram and 64 GB of inner room (eMMC 5.1). 

The Exynos 850 is a power-efficient mid-range Chip- based on 8 Cortex-A55 cores. This processor has AI support, and it can handle day-to-day’s multitasking, streaming, basic gaming and web browsing without hassle. But it cannot serve high-end gaming. So for a stable performance- avoid playing high-end games on this phone.

Camera:

The Galaxy Xcover 5 brings a single rear camera on its back edge: a 16 MP primary shooter, f/1.8. Selfie: Samsung has conferred a single 5 MP selfie camera, f/2.2. 

Camera Features: ISO control, Dual LED Flash, HDR, Touch to focus, Face detection, Auto Flash, digital zooming, Panorama, and Exposure compensation. The 16 MP rear lens can shoot videos at 1920×1080 @30 fps, and the 5 MP front lens- 1280×720 @ 30 fps, 1920×1080 @ 30 fps.

Camera Performance: The 16 MP single rear camera captures beautiful, sharp photos with average details. And its 5MP front camera also takes vivid pictures- in enough light situations. The phone’s overall camera performance is average considering its price.

Network and Connectivity, Sensors:

The Galaxy Xcover 5 emphasises 4G LTE, 3G, and 2G networks. The gadget also merges- a 3.5mm jack, GPS with A-GPS, USB charging, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, Mass storage device, Loudspeaker, USB Type-C 2.0, USB On-The-Go and Wi-Fi 802.11- hotspot.

Sensors: This sturdy device is arranged with a side-sitting fingerprint sensor, Accelerometer, Light sensor, Proximity and Gyroscope sensor. Here, the phone’s side-sitting fingerprint sensor is secure, quickly unbarring and stable.

Battery Backup and Operating System:

The company has given a (non-movable) great 3000 mAh Li-Po battery and a 15W USB Type C fast adapter. In mediocre usage- this battery will reserve power for up to 2 days. Thanks to its power-efficient 8 nm SoC. And the 15W fast charging system will restore 100% battery power within 70 minutes.

OS: You will obtain the latest Android 11 with the One UI 2.0. One UI 2.0 has got some notable improvements, and now the interface looks much fresher and simple to use.

Final Opinion:

The device is small, compact and built for day-to-day usage with stable performance. Though the phone may seem overpriced, it will be perfect for those who need a small phone with robust built quality, modern connectivity features, and good performing capability. So, if you need a powerful small mobile from Samsung, then you can buy this Galaxy Xcover 5. Please check the availability of the product and the best price on our website.
