Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3

XCover line from Samsung has always been the best offer in a niche protected phones. Manufacturers of such devices can be counted on the fingers of two hands, but the demand for the protected model is almost no, they live in their little niche. Basically, there are two approaches to such devices. At one defense - the additional non-core functions and, sort of a bonus to the other properties of the phone. This approach actively using Sony, in its Galaxy S5 has tested Samsung. The second approach - is the creation of exclusive models with protective properties where the exterior design fades into the background and becomes brutal underlined to indicate that this is no ordinary model, but something specific. In this segment plays XCover, trying to offer smaller size, longer battery life and optimal ratio of the diagonal and the housing.

Previous model XCover 2 appeared in the summer of 2013, its became a bestseller, but steady demand. In its niche, it was one of the most popular protected phones.  successfully combined protected functions and a small body, the usual form, that is, they can be safely use in everyday life.

In March 2015 the company releases an update XCover 3, which maintains positioning, this phone should be inexpensive in its class to look like a normal phone, or almost as usual. That is, to become a universal demand. But the regional representative of the company did not see a large market such products, so the model is not available in all countries, it is necessary to look. In Russia, this model on the open market is not even officially delivered, it is only available for B2B-channel and projects. But it will be able to easily find on sale, delivery to Russia will not be difficult. To begin with, that the claimed IP67 standards requires up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters in fresh water. I swim in the sea with a phone at a depth of one meter, no problems. It is necessary to wash the body of salt water and only. The water inside does not appear, so that the protection is all right. Protects the phone from falling MIL810G, it is assumed that the device will survive after falling concrete slab from a height of 2 meters. It all depends on your luck, it's always a chance you can and break your phone. Dropped a couple of times the machine, no damage to the body is not received, except for minor scratches. But throw the phone is not specifically necessary, you break it, like any other secure device.

Below - the volume rocker, she ribbed, well recognized by touch, not too tight. On the right side - on / off button. 3.5 mm jack is on the top, it does not have any plugs that right. 

They always lost, as a result, you lose the protective properties of the device, and everything is in order. At the bottom - a microphone and a standard microUSB-socket.
