IP68, 4000 mAh, Dimensity 6100+, and 25W – for 400 euros. The Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 will be larger than its predecessor – and noticeably more expensive.
The Galaxy XCover 7 is set to replace the Galaxy XCover 6 and will be superior in many aspects.
According to an informant, the new model will feature a 6.6-inch Full HD display, 6 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of flash memory, priced at under 400 euros.
Sammobile believes the price will be exactly 400 euros (or 399), making the Galaxy XCover 7 about 100 euros more expensive than its predecessor. However, it will have a much larger screen (the Galaxy XCover 5 only has a 5.3-inch HD+ display), a more powerful platform, newer software, increased charging power from 15W to 25W, and a battery capacity boost from 3000 to 4000 mAh. In general, it’s a significant upgrade from the previous model. However, the Galaxy XCover 7 will retain the IP68 protection and will still be certified to meet the requirements of the American military standard MIL-STD 810.
Roland Quandt fully disclosed the cameras of GoPro 9 Black and GoPro 10 Black before their announcement, revealing their exact costs, as well as published precise renders of Nokia G21, Xiaomi Mi A3, Xiaomi Mi 9T, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, and many other smartphones.
