Two years after launching the Galaxy Xcover 2 smartphone, the South Korean smartphone giant, Samsung has expanded its rugged Xcover line up by announcing the Galaxy Xcover 3. The Xcover series offers ruggedness that most of the Samsung Galaxy-branded devices don’t have. A successor to Xcover 2, this new handset comes with MIL-STD 810G certification which means that it is shockproof when dropped from up to 1.2 meters. Further, the IP67 certification makes the Xcover 3 water and dust resistant for up to 30 minutes in a meter of water.
