Samsung is expected to launch its first flagship device in 2017, the Galaxy Tab S3 at MWC and Galaxy S8 shortly after, but it seems the company has another smartphone at work according to a new report that surfaced online. The Galaxy Xcover 4 (SM-G390) as named may find its way out before any of the aforementioned devices launches later this month if fate has it.
The “Galaxy Xcover” series are known for their ruggedness, solid build, and their ability to withstand harsh environments where no other Samsung smartphone series may survive (except the “Galaxy S Active” series). Their reputations precede them as far as we are concerned and we expect nothing less from Galaxy Xcover 4 that is gearing up to succeed its predecessor, the Galaxy Xcover 3, that was released in March last year.
