Last month, it was discovered that Samsung is developing two new rugged smartphones, the Galaxy XCover 8 and Galaxy XCover FR or Galaxy Cover Scan. Now, a new leak about the two upcoming phones has surfaced online, which reveals their camera details and suggests that the company is actively developing them.

According to trade databases, the Galaxy XCover 8 will feature a 5MP camera at the front, whereas the Galaxy XCover FR/Scan will feature a 12MP camera (via SammyGuru). However, there’s no information on whether this 12MP camera is at the front or the rear. The leak suggests that Samsung is actively working on bringing the two phones to the market.

According to a previous leak about the Galaxy XCover FR/Scan, the phone will feature the Snapdragon Dragonwing Q-6690 chipset and 8GB of RAM. It is said to feature RFID scanning, which gives it its name.

The Galaxy XCover 8, on the other hand, will arrive as a successor to the Galaxy XCover 7, which Samsung launched in 2024. At the moment, there’s no other information available about the two upcoming phones.
