Introduction
Samsung has long been a frontrunner in the rugged mobile market, consistently delivering durable devices that meet the needs of professionals in demanding environments. With the launch of the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro, Samsung continues this tradition, introducing significant upgrades that cater to users seeking performance and resilience.
Samsung has redefined its XCover series, aimed at individuals who require devices with superior strength and functionality. Following a successful XCover 7 launch over a year ago, the tech giant is proud to present the new Galaxy XCover 7 Pro alongside its robust counterpart, the Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro tablet.

What distinguishes the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro from the competition is their enhanced toughness and extensive customization options tailored for demanding use.
Long-Term Support with Meaningful Updates
The devices come with Android 15 out of the box, promising seven years of OS and security updates. This is a notable improvement compared to previous models, which offered only four years of OS updates and five years of security patches.
Both devices are equipped with Galaxy AI features typically reserved for flagship models, including Circle to Search and Object Eraser. Additionally, users benefit from Samsung DeX for a desktop-like interface and programmable keys that can be adapted for quick access to functions like barcode scanning and push-to-talk communication.
Although new tariffs may impact price points, anyone in need of a rugged and reliable device should keep these models on their radar.
