Galaxy XCover Pro: A Sleek and Durable Smartphone Built for Business

With its premium design, rugged functionality and powerful partner solutions, the Galaxy XCover Pro empowers businesses with the ideal balance of durable style and intuitive productivity

Samsung completely re-imagines the traditional rugged device with the introduction of its latest business-ready smartphone, the slim and stylish Galaxy XCover Pro. Joining the Galaxy Tab Active Pro announced in January, the Galaxy XCover Pro expands the rugged solutions lineup to ensure that the Canadian workforce have the tools they need to streamline their workflow and stay connected in the field. The device is powered by unique partner-enabled mobility solutions including the recently announced walkie-talkie capability in Microsoft Teams.

“The Galaxy XCover Pro demonstrates our ongoing commitment to Canadians,” said Jennifer Safruk, Vice President, Mobile Division, Samsung Electronics Canada. “We support the B2B market and lead in pioneering innovative mobile solutions that empower businesses and their employees, regardless of the work environment they face everyday.”

A Device that Puts Style and Durability to Work

Optimized for a broad range of industries including oil fields, manufacturing, transportation, retail, and healthcare, the Galaxy XCover Pro offers a rugged, all-in-one mobile device beneath a slim and premium design. Whether moving from the boardroom to the warehouse or into the field, the slim, stylish build is functional and appropriate for any environment.

When your day takes you outdoors – from rain or snow, extreme altitudes, or severe humidity – the Galaxy XCover Pro is military-grade certified[1] and water and dust resistant[2] for reliable protection from surrounding conditions. Focus on the task at hand with the enhanced touchscreen of the edge-to-edge Infinity Display that stays responsive even when wet and use your device while keeping your gloves on by enabling glove mode.

Indoors or outdoors, military-grade protection also means you have peace of mind knowing that your device can handle drops, bumps, and scratches – without a case – whether you’re jumping in and out of work vehicles or running from the stock room to the showroom floor.

Streamlined Technology for Modern Mobile Workforces

Mobile device solutions should work as hard as you do, which is why the Galaxy XCover Pro is packed with innovative functionality that is ready to work double- or triple-duty so you can leave the extra gear behind. With two programmable keys to create custom actions with one click, you can program your Galaxy XCover Pro to make your go-to workflows simple. Instantly bring up critical apps like the barcode scanner, flashlight, or CRM applications without swiping through apps, scrolling through menus, or even looking at the screen.

To facilitate easier communication, Samsung also worked closely with Microsoft to introduce its new walkie-talkie capability on Microsoft Teams, making it the first partner solution to leverage the push-to-talk feature on the Galaxy XCover Pro. Enjoy instant communication with team members when on duty or out in the field by simply pressing the button to enable a walkie-talkie experience. You can also use the new voice to text message feature for real-time dictation and messaging for simple, convenient communication.[3]

Rest assured that your device can keep up the pace thanks to a powerful battery that lasts long after the day is done.[4] Pogo pin charging support and compatibility with third-party charging docks ensure the phone is powered as soon as the workday begins, and when you need even more power, the battery is replaceable – just pop in a spare and keep going.[5]

Simple and Secure Mobile Payment Solutions

Today’s consumers prefer convenient, seamless payment experiences, and the Galaxy XCover Pro can equip your mobile business with the tools needed to process payments immediately on the go.  Spare your customers the hassle of waiting in a busy checkout line with their products and provide a convenient, more secure checkout on the sales floor. With Samsung POS[6] on the Galaxy XCover Pro, customers can make payments of up to $1,000 in seconds by simply tapping their contactless card, phone or watch directly to the device.

Samsung POS is more secure and easy to use. Simply download the app and set up an account in a matter of minutes, with no additional dongles or hardware required. Plus, enjoy peace of mind knowing both your business’s and customers’ financial data will remain in the right hands, all while staying in touch with how consumers prefer to pay.

Defense-Grade Security Meets Enterprise-Friendly Management

In addition to its ruggedness, the Galaxy XCover Pro is built with data security in mind and is protected by Samsung’s defense-grade multi-layered Knox platform. With Samsung Knox, mobile professionals can take advantage of advanced security features like hardware-backed protection, data isolation and encryption and boot- and run-time protection to help protect business-critical information against intrusion, malware and other threats.

With Samsung Knox, large enterprises can quickly and easily setup and customize the device, and manage firmware versions, putting IT administrators in control of the management and updates of their device fleet through Knox Configure and Knox E-FOTA.[7]

Pricing and Availability

With the Galaxy XCover Pro, Samsung continues to raise the bar for business-ready technology that’s ready for use on the go. The Galaxy XCover Pro is available for $699.99 (regular price) at Samsung Experience Stores, Samsung.com/ca, the Samsung IT reseller partner channel and TELUS.
