It also has a tough, water-resistant, and drop-proof body. The release of the pricier Galaxy XCover 7 Pro seems to be close, as it has been seen on Geekbench and received certification from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Performance Upgrades
It looks like Samsung is planning to swap out the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ in the Galaxy XCover 7 for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. This new processor is much more powerful and includes four ARM Cortex-A715 performance cores along with four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores. With a Geekbench 6 score hitting 1,157 points in single-thread performance and 3,288 points in multi-thread, this chip is 67 percent and 76 percent quicker than the Dimensity 6100+ found in the base model. The FCC certification also shows that the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro will have NFC for contactless payments, alongside support for WiFi 6, Bluetooth, and 5G.
Software and Specs
The Galaxy XCover 7 Pro is likely to come with One UI 7, which is built on Android 15. At least one version of the new mid-range smartphone will have the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 paired with just 6GB of RAM, hinting at a reasonably priced entry model. Its battery capacity is 4,265mAh, which is about 5% larger than that of the standard Galaxy XCover 7. While this battery is smaller than those in many standard mid-range Android phones, it’s much simpler to replace. The specific price and launch date for the Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro remain unannounced.
