Samsung to reveal its latest heavy-duty phone and tablet on July 13
Samsung’s next big launch event is probably happening sometime this summer, and rumors have suggested we could see anUnpacked announcementin late August featuring the flagshipGalaxy Z Fold4,Galaxy Z Flip4, and theGalaxy Watch 5. But those are far from the only devices the company’s been working on, and this week we’re getting a heads-up about the debut of two new business-focused rugged devices, theGalaxy XCover 6 Proand the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro.
Pics of the XCover 6 Pro leaked a little earlier this month (byWinFuture), showing a phone with a vertical striped pattern on the back panel — one that could be removable, suggesting we might get a replaceable battery. Thick bezels should help with impact protection. Internally, we’re expecting mid-range silicon based around aSnapdragon 778GSoC. Along with the Tab Active 4 Pro, Samsung intends to introduce this hardware on July 13 (viaSamMobile).
Speaking of that tablet, this is another rugged model — though there’s probably no replaceable battery here. Expect an S Pen for convenient input, just like previous generations.
Considering that there was a four-year gap between the release of the Galaxy XCover 4 and theGalaxy XCover 5, getting a new version just 15 months later is a little surprising. We’ve still got plenty of questions about what to expect from both these devices, so we look forward to receiving more info on them before the launch event.
