Made for surveyors and the British weather
The Samsung X Cover 7 is a rugged Android smartphone designed for professionals who spend more time outdoors than in the office. With its durable build, responsive touchscreen, and long battery life, it’s ready for the unpredictable British weather - rain, mud, and all.
Key Features:
Rugged build: IP68 water & dust resistance + MIL‑STD‑810H drop‑spec protection (e.g., from ~1.5 m onto steel), meaning it’s built for harsh environments.
Glove‑/wet‑friendly touchscreen: High touch‑sensitivity so the display works even when wet or when wearing thin gloves (≤ 2 mm) without needing a special “glove mode”
Removable battery (field‑swap capability): Enables keeping a spare charged battery for long days out in the field.
Bright 6.6″ Full HD+ display: Large enough to view maps, codes, line‑work, or site plans, and bright enough for outdoor/light conditions.
5G & strong connectivity: Future‑proofed connectivity to sync large files, transfer survey data, and connect to cloud services.
Expandable storage + solid RAM: 6 GB RAM / 128 GB storage with microSD expansion up to 1 TB, useful for storing lots of survey data, images, and maps.
Programmable “XCover Key”: A physical button that you can map to your most‑used app or workflow step (e.g., launching your survey software, barcode scanning, etc.)
Why choose Samsung XCover 7?
Field‑ready for British weather: The rugged build and glove/wet‑screen responsiveness mean you’re not fighting your device when it rains or winds up muddy, crucial when working outdoors on a surveying job.
Compact alternative to tablets/controllers: Many surveyors dislike lugging around large tablets and bulky controllers. A rugged smartphone like this gives you full functionality in a smaller, easier‑to‑handle form.
Works with X-PAD: The connectivity, storage and display size make it more than capable of running X-PAD Ultimate and X-PAD 365 software.
Minimises downtime: With a removable battery and rugged design, you’re less likely to be sidelined by battery issues or screen damage—keeping you on the job longer.
Tailored workflow efficiency: The programmable key lets you customise one‑touch access to your most used tool (e.g., mark point, capture photo, begin code input), which keeps your workflow tight and efficient on‑site.
