Besides the flagship Galaxy S27 and mid-range A-series phones, Samsung seems to be working on two new rugged phones. Though they might be very niche products, the South Korean giant continues to bring out new models and even offer regular software updates. While that’s that, a new leak reveals the camera details of two upcoming models: the Galaxy XCover 8 and XCover FR/Scan.
Galaxy XCover 8 and XCover FR camera details emerge ahead of launch
According to trade databases, the Galaxy XCover 8 will feature a 5MP front camera, similar to its predecessor. Meanwhile, the Galaxy XCover FR/Scan will get a 12MP unit. However, the listing doesn’t specify whether this is for the front or rear camera. But considering the XCover 7 Pro has a 13MP selfie camera, the XCover FR/Scan could belong to a similar segment. The listing could be referring to its front camera. That said, it’s just speculation at this time.Â
Besides the camera details, the listings don’t reveal much else about the phones at this time. But they do reiterate that Samsung is actively working behind the scenes to bring them to market. However, their availability, like previous models, could be limited.
An integrated UHF RFID reader
According to previous leaks, the Galaxy XCover FR/Scan could feature the Snapdragon Dragonwing Q-6690 chip and 8GB of RAM. It could get RFID scanning. This would apparently allow users to scan inventory tags without requiring a separate RFID reader module. The phone may offer Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and UWB support.
On the other hand, the Galaxy XCover 8 will arrive as a follow-up model to the Galaxy XCover 7 that went official in 2024. That’s about all the information we have about the two rugged phones at the moment. We’ll keep an eye out to learn more about them.
