Samsung’s rugged phones can be classified as mid-range at best. Their strong points have never been related to what’s on the inside, but rather to what’s on the outside. Not having any real competition made Samsung complacent and the Xcover family remains one of the company’s dullest lineups.Although things won’t drastically change starting this year, the next rugged phone that’s part of the Xcover family seems to have been gifted slightly better hardware than we expected. However, as far as the design goes, little has changed.The relatively small official render leaked recently shows a pretty standard Galaxy Xcover 7 Pro with the only remarkable change being the rubberized pattern on the backside. It also looks a bit more solid than the previous Xcover 7 model, which means Samsung has decided to “bulletproof” its Xcover series.For those who have already decided to go for Samsung’s Galaxy Xcover 7, which made its debut on the market back in January, it’s not worth upgrading to the upcoming Pro model because the hardware improvements are negligible.
