Review on πŸ“± Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 4/64GB: The Ultimate Black Smartphone for Smart Users! by Agata Szwed ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A terrible purchase, I sympathize with everyone who bought it.

I have xCover4 and 4s. I looked closely at the new product - the "five", twisted it in my hands. Didn't buy. For my application (for foot PVD (and, possibly, as the main one)) is not suitable. There is no progress in comparison with the "four" :( My application is usual: Locus Map + a little browsing on the way + a little video on the way. For these purposes, both 4 and 5 are enough (just like the first is enough (not second) Duraforce Pro with castrated 2GB of memory and 6-7 android). Thickness, weight, battery - everything remained at the level of 4-ki. So why pay 25 (at such a price they sell the officials) ?! There is no progress! With this level of protection and such a low-capacity battery, a modern smart should be guaranteed to fit into 8mm thickness and 150g of weight. The same smart turned out to be as heavy and awkward as a 4-ka. Those. smart is again not for a pocket or sleeve case, like 4-ka. There has been no progress since the 14th (!) year . The insides could easily be compacted (see iPhones) and stuffed with a 4000+ mAh battery. Removable battery - zilch, in fact. Removable - it comes unfastened together with the back cover. Here you must first unfasten the cover (it is inconvenient to separate), and only then remove the battery. How many such unfastenings are enough for the lid and carcass is a big question. Screen + - as on a 4-ke in the sun. Those. You need to turn up the brightness, which will drain the battery. I also have an iPhone 6 (already ancient): the screen in the sun is much better without raising the brightness. Since, in fact, on such smarts no one looks at the speed and memory capacity (because it is not necessary), this smart is already outdated by 6-7 years when it was released: it remained as heavy and clumsy as before. Samsung did not make the slightest effort to make the smart thinner and lighter and equip it with a modern capacious battery. Suitable for lovers of heaviness and bulkiness for insane money. Red price - 200 bucks. For 25 tyr in the 21st year (and not in the 14th!) Should be: a) up to 8mm thick; b) weighing 150g; c) with 4000+ mAh battery. It makes no sense to switch from 4 to this one.

Pros
  • Waterproof as good as xCover4 (4s)
Cons
  • Inadequate price / performance Fat Heavy small battery The screen is average in the sun
