Samsung Galaxy Xcover (2012)

Never Again – The reason this phone has a hard cover is to protect it from the amount of times I have wanted to break it. Totally frustrated that it continuously drops out for no reason and calls go straight to message bank or callers get busy tone. I have always had Nokia phones and unfortunately I was sucked in to change to this one. It was a big mistake. Protective hard cover Not enough space to air my grievances.

major bugs – had this phone 18 months. switches off and on without reason. will drop out regularly and not reset search for your network again without switching off and on again. quiet often manual search will not find service. service bar can show 2, 3 or 4 bars reception but no service comes up. but is a strong phone as I had given up on it and smashed it on… Read more

various items several times... and it still works(or doesn't). all in all its a one tough piece off s#@t. disappointed!!!! apart from reception. most things are good reception. no camera zoom(after having it on htc.. i miss it)

Samsung xcover – Very robust phone, excellent for the tradesman as it can handle a lot of knocks, very tough phone that is also partially water proof, i would definitely recommend this phone for work use especially for the trades, plumber, electrician ect. the phone is not ideal for the serious user or of smart phones as it doesn't have a lot of space for storage,… Read more

it isn't overly powerful so it can't handle high end android games but will definitely handle lighter apps.

The reception is ok, can be hard to hear sometimes, signal strength is good but lacks a bit compared to high end smart phones. Can take alot of knocks, have heard of this phone being put through a wash cycle and still working fine afterwoods. not overly powerful, can use simple apps with it but nothing with high end graphics.

Worst phone ever! – I have just taken my second X cover back to the store I bought it from. Constant drop outs, call go straight to message bank or tell caller you are not in a mobile zone, really poor aerial, would not pick up 3G network, turned itself off in middle of a call. Had no coverage for 2 days (phone shop tells you to reset it) don't buy this phone it is really bad.
