Samsung has just rolled out the Pro versions of its Galaxy XCover7 smartphone and Galaxy Tab Active5 tablet. These new models are built for heavy-duty use, targeting businesses and government agencies.
The XCover7 Pro boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, clocked at 2.5 GHz. That’s a step up from the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chip in the regular XCover7, which tops out at 2.2 GHz. It’s paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, expandable up to 2 TB via microSD. The battery’s also got a bump, going from 4,050 mAh to 4,350 mAh.

The phone also has an XCover Key that can be customized for specific tasks, like turning it into a walkie-talkie. Plus, it supports Samsung DeX for a more desktop-like experience.
The XCover7 Pro is built tough, with IP68 rating for dust and water resistance (up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes) and MIL-STD-810H certification. It’s also been tested against common disinfectants.

The tablet’s screen has been upgraded to a 10.1-inch LCD with 1,920 x 1,200 resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. The battery’s also bigger, at 10,100 mAh, and it has a “No Battery” mode that lets you use it straight from the adapter.
