Samsung announced the Galaxy Xcover 4 smartphone earlier this month and confirmed that the handset would be released in select markets initially. We later brought you a list of all the markets where the Galaxy Xcover 4 is going to be released. It appears that the device will eventually make its way to the United States as well since it has been cleared by the Federal Communications Commission.
The Galaxy Xcover 4 has a 4.99-inch TFT 720×1280 pixel resolution display with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor under the hood coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage. The handset has a 2,800mAh battery, NFC, runs Android 7.0 Nougat and is certified to US military standard MIL-STD 810G for guaranteed toughness.
The Galaxy Xcover 3 did make its way to the United States last year but it wasn't offered by any of the carriers. It was sold exclusively through Amazon so while it won't be surprising if the Galaxy Xcover 4 lands in the United States, it will be interesting to see if any carriers offer the newer model this time around.
