The rugged phone looks like it will offer some solid specifications
It’s been a while now that Samsung has offered a sturdier Active version of its flagship Galaxy S phone, but if the average modern smartphone is too underpowered to indulge in your adventures, the company has still offered you a slew of heavy-duty devices. The Xcover lineup is covered with . Last year brought us the Galaxy XCover 5, and recently evidence has been accumulating pointing to a sequel to the 2020 Galaxy XCover Pro. At least, that’s where the mark has been leading so far, but a new Google Play Console listing suggests this hardware could be coming under a different name.
The product name displayed here is “xcoverpro2sq” in line with earlier expectations, but the marketing name attached to the listing is Galaxy XCover6 Pro, which honestly seems more appropriate as it provides a better sense of continuity. Finally adding that Pro branding may raise a few eyebrows, but things start to make sense when you take a look at the device’s impressive list of specs well, at least for a rugged phone.

The Google Play Console entry (spotted by MySmartPrice) mentions the Snapdragon SM7325 powering this hardware, which is none other than the Snapdragon 778Gnot the most powerful chip, but a decent balance between battery efficiency and performance. With a solid entry. Based on the stated 1,080 x 2,400 resolution and the density of 450ppi, it looks like we’re looking at a screen of around 5.8 inches, but it’s a bit smaller than previously rumored. In any case, we’re almost certainly getting something bigger than the Galaxy XCover 5’s 5.3 inches.
As far as the design is concerned, we get to see an Infinity-U screen that is surrounded by thick bezels all around, possibly for better protection against drops. The phone should be running Android 12, possibly as of One UI 4.1. As for release plans, your guess is as good as ours – hopefully we’ll hear something from Samsung soon.
