Samsung has multiple rugged devices in the works

Samsung is one of the few major handset manufacturers that has a very solid line of rugged devices that includes both phones and tablets. These devices are not among the most powerful on the market since they’ve been built to last first and foremost.The Xcover and Tab Active series are Samsung’s main brands when it comes to rugged devices, and they’re getting bigger almost every year. Samsung has already released about a dozen or more Galaxy Xcover phones, and just as many Galaxy Tab Active tablets, and the South Korean company doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.
Samsung’s previous rugged phones have almost similar model numbers – SM-G736B (Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro) and SM-G556B (Galaxy Xcover 7), which is why we believe this is Samsung’s next rugged phone.
Unfortunately, the report doesn’t include any details about the phone’s specs, which probably means that the Galaxy Xcover 8 Pro (or whatever its name) is still early in development.

Apart from a new Xcover phone, Samsung also plans to launch another Galaxy Active Tab tablet. This is expected to be launched on the market as either Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro or Galaxy Tab Active 6 Pro.
Once again, no additional details about the tablet’s specs are included in the report. Although judging by the lack of information about these rugged phones, it’s safe to assume that they won’t be released on the market until next year.
