Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 Smartphone Review - Small improvements for the rugged smartphone
The Galaxy XCover 5 is not a quantum leap forward for the XCover series. It is a small step forward.... Replaceable once again. The Galaxy XCover 5 from Samsung offers an IP certification once again. The replaceable battery is back and the price is attractive. So is it the best it has ever been?
Pros:
- fast Wi-Fi
- good GNSS performance
- replaceable battery
- long warranty period
- no throttling under load
- flicker-free screen
Cons:
- low contrast ratio
- no hardware navigation buttons
- outdated (single) camera
- mediocre speaker
- slow card reader

Reasonable but not quite as good as expected
This phone is extremely slippery. You cant hold it at an angle(it just slips suddenly, faster than a metal iphone does for example) and is slippery which isnt what I would expect as an IP rated 'contractor' robust phone. Therefore it needs a grippy case, which I was trying to avoid. The plastic edging properly protects the screen from a edge impact. The camera is bearable and it works well as a simple phone. Reminds me of J and A series samsung phones from a few years ago but it can be dropped.
