Samsung’s Xcover lineup of rugged smartphones is set to expand with a new addition in the near future. It has been over a year since the release of the Galaxy Xcover6 Pro, so it’s only logical for Samsung to introduce another durable handset in the coming weeks.

While some Xcover models have not offered significant upgrades over their predecessors, they have still been quite popular among individuals and businesses. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Samsung continues to invest in this series.

The upcoming device, which may or may not be named Galaxy Xcover 7, carries the model number SM-G556B. According to the latest information from GalaxyClub, Samsung is currently developing another rugged smartphone with this model number.

There are speculations that the Galaxy Xcover 7 could be a rugged variant of the Galaxy A55, as both devices have similar model numbers (SM-A556B for the Galaxy A55). However, it is important to note that the Galaxy A55 is not expected to be unveiled until next year, so we cannot confirm any details about its specifications.

It will be a challenge for Samsung to enhance the Galaxy Xcover series without significantly increasing the price, considering that the Xcover6 Pro already offers impressive mid-range features. We will closely follow any updates regarding Samsung’s upcoming rugged phone, so stay tuned for more information.
