What the Critics Are Saying...

Notebookcheck
Notebookcheck

If you need extended software support, but do not need hardware buttons and a fingerprint sensor, then you should take a close look at the Galaxy XCover 5. All in all, the XCover 5 is a ruggedised smartphone, which does not have any weaknesses, except that it looks somewhat outdated.
