Conclusion In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro offers the option of a rugged smartphone suitable for the outdoors, with the added option of a replaceable battery when power points are not nearby. However, performance is lacking due to processing power and an average battery capacity. There are already rumours from Samsung that they are developing a new Galaxy XCover Pro 2 and that it could be unveiled as early as this summer. This could mean that Samsung is introducing the first rugged smartphone with 5G capabilities. We are looking forward to welcoming this new smartphone into our testing labs. It will be interesting to compare the battery score and the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro 2 when it is available. We can't wait! Should I buy it? The smartphone is ideal for enterprises and people working outdoors, as a rugged device with a replaceable battery. This allows people to swap to a fully charged battery when extended usage is required, often when there are no power points nearby. Its camera offers high-quality pictures when out in the field and its touch-sensitive touch allows field engineers, factory workers and construction crews to continue wearing hand protection whilst still working. The Push-to-Talk solution also is a useful additional feature. The overall performance may not be to everyone's liking and other better performing rugged smartphones could be an alternative. However, with continued development, the next smartphone in this series could offer 5G capabilities and much more!

At the start of the new year and with events returning in 2022 we hope that many companies can start off on a high note for the rest of the year. Two of the industry major events are playing a key role this year where manufacturers can showcase their latest innovations and announce new products. Let's take a look at the events and the next innovations that we can expect in 2022. The first event Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022) was held in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier in the month. There were well over 40,000 attendees in person, including 1800 global media, across 11 indoor and outdoor venues. The show was truly a global event, with 30% of attendees travelling from outside the US – representing 119 countries. This event is the place to be for companies with cutting-edge technologies who are at the forefront of their fields, producing high quality and innovative products that are paving the way for the future. IMAGE CREDIT: Consumer Technology Association Key Highlights at CES 2022 CES 2022 returned to its home, Las Vegas for the first time since 2020 due to the disruption of the pandemic. There were some noteworthy absentees over 75 companies, from this year’s events including T-Mobile, Microsoft, Google, Lenovo, OnePlus who chose the online presence over the physical face-to-face experience. Here are some of the key highlights for us: 1. TCL’S Second Gen Smart Glasses NXT Wear Air Image Credit: TCL This is the second version of the limited released supply in 2021 but will be 30% lighter from 135g to 75g. The new wearable display has been called by many analysts “a cinema on your face”. It comes with two 1080p micro OLEDs embedded in glass frames that give the wearer an impressive viewing effect of a 140-inch screen from about 4 metres away. They don’t offer any VR or AR capabilities but allows you to view anything from your smartphone handy if don’t want to hold your phone to watch films or videos. No price announcement from TCL yet but the previous version was around $700. 2. Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Nearly a year after the release of the Samsung Galaxy S21 we finally saw the Galaxy S21 FE. Starting price in the UK is expected around £699 for 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage. In terms of Tier, this is expected to be Mid-Range Toer for the S21 family. The device uses the same snapdragon 888 chipsets that other S21 models use. It is powered by a battery of 4,500 mAh which can be charged wirelessly or using a wire. We cannot wait to have the device in our ViserMark lab for full battery testing. Stay tuned. 3.

MWC is undoubtedly the largest mobile technology show in the world and is expected to open its doors on the 28th of February in Barcelona. There is a lot of expectations that many manufacturers will announce their new devices during that show as CES this year was relatively poor on new smartphone announcements. Two brands have already confirmed their presence Xiaomi and Huawei. Huawei is also hosting its event ahead of MWC on the 27th of February and it is expected some key products and technology announcements. Other manufacturers are expected to confirm their plans in the coming weeks. In terms of new devices announcements, Samsung with its new Samsung Galaxy S22 is rumoured to land sometime in February in time for the event. There are some rumours that Huawei will unveil a foldable device at the event, and we expect to see more details from OnePlus, with the launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro. We could also see some new releases from Xiaomi, Honor, TCL, Alcatel, Vivo and ZTE. Our SmartViser team will be present at MWC checking all the new technologies and new smartphone releases.

Lightweight Pixel 4 XL stays in the competition with flagships from a battery life standpoint On the other end: Samsung S20 Ultra powered with Exynos struggles to offer acceptable battery life although integrating 5000 mAh battery. But its Exynos chipset has to power a wide 6.9’’ screen Sony Xperia 1 (Mark 2) hardly achieves 1.5 days and has the lowest score in our battle. Battery capacity and overall efficiency are lower than the competition. We also have noticed during our testing that Sony is reaching slightly higher temperatures during intensive usage sessions.
