Samsung is apparently working on a successor to its rugged Android smartphone, Galaxy XCover, with such a device probably launching at the upcoming Mobile World Congress. We don’t have all the details yet, but we do know few things. For instance, it will look differently, making it feel like a tougher version of the Galaxy S III mini. Specs will also be comparable (to Galaxy S III mini) and include such things as a 4-inch WVGA screen, 5-megapixel rear-camera, VGA front-facing one, 1,700mAh battery, 4GB of built-in storage and a microSD memory card slot. These are not the high-end specs by today’s standards, but rugged smartphones are known for their mid-range “qualities,” offering reliability rather than latest bells and whistles.
The original XCover was IP67-certified for being dirt, dust and water resistant, and we’d expect nothing less for the follow up. We’ll let you know when Galaxy XCover 2 officially launches. Stay tuned in the meantime…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
