[00:05] that they never talk about, and it's time to find out why. It's called the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro, which I assume means it has some extra cover, making it more durable than their usual glass-covered flagships. What's wild
[00:19] though is that even with a removable battery, this XCover 7 Pro is still IP68 watertight, meaning it can be immersed in 1 and 1/2 m of water for 30 minutes and most likely still be fine. We have indeed been lied to. To be fair,
[00:33] technically this XCover 7 Pro was released last year in 2025, but since this series of rugged construction-grade durable smartphones only gets updated every 2 or 3 years, this one is still the relevant model for this year as
[00:47] well. It does cost about 600 bucks though, which seems rather excessive, and the screen scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7, meaning it's made from glass. Glass is glass and glass breaks though, so factor that in
[01:00] for your construction site usage. Interestingly enough though, screen replacements only cost $23. Fire reveals the real reason why the screen replacements are so inexpensive. We can tell the 120-Hz 1080p display is an LCD

[01:25] a little more egregious. But hey, at least now we know. When Samsung or Apple says we can't have easy-to-remove batteries, point them to this video. front of our eyes, and everything still works. Grab a 12-pack of Jerrycan water
