Wow, you're pretty negative about a phone that you can replace the battery of, comes with android 11 and is pretty cheap as well. Finally a durable phone and you are complaining about EVERYTHING.

People don't buy this phone because they want the latest and best specs nor do they buy it because they want some premium feeling slippery piece of glass or metal, they buy this because it is a phone of practicality and durability, it has a user replaceable battery, it has the newest android version and it performs well in your everyday tasks. And a big plus for me: it doesn't have that stupid notch. I know there are cheaper durable phones but that price tag is not too bad when you take into account that it's from a reputable korean company.

Before watch : want to know what kind of phone it is After watch : want to know what kind of person he is

worst review ever.. you basically punishing the phone for no reason.

The reviewer is irritable and let's his irritation show throughout the review. He shows his ignorance of rugged phones when he compares this one to a Xiaomi.. No Xiaomi has an IP rating and will not survive immersion in water. A replaceable battery is much more useful than a built-in one and changing the battery is faster and more convenient than recharging from a mains outlet or power bank. It is also a lot cheaper and environmentally friendly replace a battery than to replace a phone with a dud battery. I have no connection with Samsung, but I won't be looking at this site again.

Replaceable battery, headphone jack, small form factor, I am in love.

I want do a durability test on him instead of the phone.

i really need to know what pissed him off that day LMAOOOO this video is hilarious also, from my point of view, this looks like a great phone. i'm about to buy it just because of the removable battery, which is the biggest pro ever. i'm so tired of iphone's batteries turning into fucking baloons and literally cracking the screens of every device i purchase

I really hope samsung continues the xcover lineup to protext removable batteries!

How can you not be a fan of a replaceable battery?? It's the main reason I have stuck with my old Nokia until now! At last, a phone company that has a talented designer working for them. Get the feeling the reviewer works for Apple LOL He sounds like a spoiled brat, saying it's a 'cheap' phone at €300, must have money to burn, and he tosses it around with such disrespect. His attitude overshadows any comments he makes, and he didn't even point out a legitimate weakness that there is no fingerprint unlock, just a facial rec, which won't work if wearing a mask!

You know why it has such a large bezels? So the screen won't crack.

Got this phone and although it is slow and laggy, Everything else is impressive. Even the camera is great!

It's a tool phone, not an all singing and dancing top of the range phone.

This phone looks perfect! It's small, the battery is replaceable, it runs Android 12, and I can drop it without worrying. 10/10

This guy completely misses the point of this phone and seems a bit of a phone snob. All the xcovers are brilliant phones, as a tradesman it ticks all the right boxes for me, the features this guy gets upset about are the reasons id buy it.

the worst ever seen review - 100%

This is a shit review. The first half of the video is the phone running initial setup. Every devices does this. How are you angry at this and why did you include it in the video, it's pointless. The video could be half the length. Furthermore, not all phones are about display real estate and camera capability. We don't all spend our days photographing ourselves drinking lattes and then scrolling through Instacrap. This phone offers quite reasonable features for the intended market. The one criticism I would accept from you is the possibility of the removable back being a weak point when dropped. Which would be counter to the notion of this being a rugged phone.

This is not a review, but a video of a guy starting a phone 10 minutes!

Terrible reviewer. You have no idea how much people actually are looking for a phone with these features.

I was thinking that that i made a mistake buying this phone after your review, but the comments proved you wrong. I have been looking for a rugged phone with good android, I already broke a CAT S41 and a Ulefone so this is my 3rd try. Also, who cares about a fancy package? You gonna trow that away, The less paper they use the better. Maybe your should eat a snickers before you make your next vid....

Not surprising this channel got very few viewers. He's got lots of negative views for a fact that he just opened the box. I have set up lots of android and it is a protocol to connect to a wifi during initial. What a pity

dislike button

most rugged phones has big bezels bro...

lol. thanks for the video of google setup. great stuff.

ok ok relax! what do you suggest then? A Suggestion for a durable, waterproof, close to this price phone

I've used a XCOVER 4 & 4S for a few years now with similar back cover and the cover has not come off whenever I've dropped the phone.

I bought this phone and this is the first properly designed smartphone I've ever had. There's no use for gadgets that break easily and it's stupid to have to buy cases that often don't work at all. This phone is amazingly resistant and does not require a chunky case that possibly wouldn't work well. It's small and light, works well and doesn't break. This phone is not worth a phone, it is worth all the phones you would break if you wouldn't be using it, and its slick like no other because you'll not need a case.

jesus man slow down you're gonna break that phone moving your hands so aggressively

Love the removable battery

This phone has twice as many cellular bands as a typical phone in the $200 USD price range, a removable battery, and some models supports dual sim, . Those are the 3 top things I want in my phone that 99% of phones on the market don't have. I don't give a sh*t about cameras if you're going to use a camera get a REAL camera like a DSLR or a point and shoot and not screw around with phones that don't even have adjustable optical zooms or external flash. I think you missed all of the best features of this phone that all tourists/travelers would want in a phone.Nobody in their mind would buy a new phone every time they visit a different country. The only phones in the world I have found that can come close to beating this phone in cellular bands are $500+ and are prime targets for thieves or are made by OnePlus and dont have removable batteries. I am torm between buying it now or waiting for an xcover 6 model.

This reviewer is awful at their job. They are saying all kinds of shit about the phone like "wtf why is the battery separate", "I hate being able to change the battery in my phone", "jeez those bezels are huge", "this will feel super outdated", "nothing fancy at all" Clearly they have completely missed the point of this device. It is not supposed to be an iPhone 18 competitor and even a child would understand that. For me the removeable battery and huge bezels are the biggest reason why I might choose to buy this phone.

The batt is so you can chance it on the fly. Its a phone for pro's like construction, security and more.. also for outdoor uses like hiking, hunting and more like that.

The phone seems fine.. some people may like it..

This is a good phone for the price. I have a Pixel 6 Pro and the xCover obviously isn't as good, but I actually like the phone. This review is ridiculous

I understand you, it pisses me off exactly the same. Cant just use the phone, has to setup Wi-Fi, reboot it...

I definetely didn't like this review because the reviewer is ungrateful about something for up to 30 seconds.Why so much negativity?It's a very nice phone for people who work on rough fields.

The reviewer has an anger issue and it's quite uncomfortable to watch just 1 min

Finally a no no nonsense phone for no nonsensical people.

The other awesome thing about having a phone with a removable battery is that invertibly when your battery dies you don't have to send it off to the manufacturer or go to some cell phone repair place and pay outrageous prices to have the sealed battery changed you can merely go online purchase a replacement battery and install it yourself in all of 30 seconds oh the horror of having to install your own battery lol

hello, do you know how i can disable the lens (light) from the red left side button?

I had samsung galaxy a20e that is like 100 dollars. I was happy with it but it broke. I hope this one is a bit better in performance and durability. I have a nokia phone right now and I'm not really that addicted to smartphones to nerd out on them, so maybe I will be happy with xcover? Opinions?

glass half empty guy hahaha

Number one did you put a SIM card in the phone yet if it can't connect to a cellular network it needs to connect to Wi-Fi because the phone was shipped with I believe Android software 10 and it's going to upgrade your Android system to 11 in order to do that it needs to be connected to a cellular network or a Wi-Fi network this is very common among Samsung phones

First off it's not a consumer phone it's not meant for games it's meant for construction for first responders you shouldn't be reviewing it and complaining

Нормальный аппарат. Три полноценных слота, съёмный аккумулятор. Это не модные дурацкие клееные стекляшки.

Positive guy. Usch.....

Omg these phone reviewers even review the packaging and the cardboard 😄 "nothing premium nothing nice" 😂

What even is this video lol. Great phone for ordinary people, literally every other construction worker uses Xcovers in my country and for a reason.

the phone is okay for my construction job ,it works like a champ ,don't need amoled or beautiful piece whyle i get duty , i guess Samsung didn't ask him to do this review,that's why his really mad ,he wants to destroy Samsung 😂, well good luck,i don't think that's the best way to get subscribers.

It doesn't come with a case because it doesn't need one..

Totally agree with you. The back cover is all I need to see to say no. I'd rather a lower speced phone with a descent case than this piece of junk. I chose Sonim XP8 over this AND over their cancer causing (5g) XCover 6 Pro, which is junk too !

Hi there, can you recommend not very expensive, middle class phone with around 5" display? I was thinking of this Samsung (as even 5.3" is to much for my taste) but you literally berried it alive :)

no earphones included?

Hi, Sorry that you came to a conclusion of a "Do not buy" during the OOBE process. But when you say there's no excuse for forcing you to connect to a network, that's not true, and you're kind of exposing yourself here. I worked for a mobile device company on the product security team and you absolutely want to force the customer to download the latest updates during OOBE, not only for the best intended UX but primarily for security. Hope this helps with your future content. Cheers

This Samsung has a 3years warranty and is set to get 6 years of software update. I don't understand the comparaison with a Xiaomi that usually become ewaste after 3 years

Balanced review?

Oh no it has bezels 😭 lol

I think this guy owns an iPhone🤣🤣 Very negative review On a rugged phone haha made me chuckle

Wow stop moaning about everything. Id much rather have this phone than the latest S phone as its so much more practical. Very few phones have a removable battery, headphone jack and a standard shape display, always thought the notch design was odd looking. Plus its a non oled display which is a big win for me as every oled phone ive seen has screen burn after a year or so. Just ordered this phone used and was an absolute steal!

Lg phones do it too I am sure others are requiring you use Wi-Fi

Terrible review.

Umidigi Bison phones also "Require" you to have WiFi to set up the device. really pisses me off..... I don't have WiFi at the minute.... Not sure if the Bison GT did, but replacing it with the Bison Pro definitely needs WiFi....

"It feels like a trash phone from 5 years ago".......... Yeah, But in 5 years when an expensive phone's relegated to the back of a desk draw because it's battery is as good as dead after a 30 minute call, this will still be feeling like a TEN year old trash phone, that's on it's 2nd or 3rd replacement battery. :) Different people have different priorities, and for me, a quick and easily replaceable battery is worth significantly more than any trio of 20+ megapixel cameras, or glass (fingerprint magnet) rear panels a "New design" phone may have. Oh and you kept saying "Get a Xiaomi device instead", I'd just like to add that I did. I needed my phone for work (I had to have local access to a hell of a lot of corporate IT configuration data, and "Can't access it on a remote server because I don't have a phone signal" wasn't an option), So a few years ago I bought a cheap Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 as a backup in case my main phone unexpectedly died. I set it all up and kept it turned off in it's box for about 2 1/2 years. Every couple of months I'd take it out, start it up, charge it back up, and let it update anything it needed to from my companies file server, then put it back in the box............. I did this right up until the time I pulled it out of the box to find the screen was cracked across the middle due to the battery swelling up like a balloon and pressing the middle of it up by about 1/4" !!! Here's the kicker. If it had been a removable battery I'd have stored the battery out of the phone, and the phone would have been fine. If it had been a removable battery and I'd left it installed, it would most likely have popped the back cover off and saved the phones screen. If it had a removable battery, I wouldn't have had to make a choice between keeping a phone with a potentially dangerous failing Li-Po battery in the house, or having to make any company data on it unreadable before allowing it to be in an unsecure location. In the end, that £200+ phones ONLY trip outside of my home was to take it down the garden, put it in the garden waste incinerator with some scrap wood, and burn it. So forgive me if I reply to your calls of "Get a Xiaomi device instead" with "F*ck that mate". :D

you cannot compare with Xiaomi which has 6.67 inch screen ... compare it with something the same size!

You just saved me from buying crap. Thanks

So you have no clue about cell phones The reason the battery is removable is because it is a work phone it's designed to be rugged it's has military specifications and the reason the battery is removable is so that when you are out in the field and you're not able to charge the phone you can pop in a fully charged battery and keep using your phone I love removable batteries I hate that all new phones don't let you take out the battery it also means that your phone is always on even when you think you've turned your phone off if it has a battery inside it is still pinning the cell phone towers but with a removable battery you can completely disable your phone by removing the battery and you cannot be traced or tracked if you're going to do reviews why don't you do a little research first!!!!!!

cheap phone with 5!!! Years of Updates, replaceable Battery, military standard, water and dust resist, pogopin charger support..... and last but not least 5,3 inch display. a much smaler device than every xiaomi or whatever phone

Sponsored by Xiaomi

anyone that knows if this phone can handle the pokemon go app together with the instagram app and letterboxd app and facebook app? This are the only 4 big apps that I would use..... or would this be too much for the processor already ?

By the way the real reason manufacturers started ceiling the battery inside the phone case is that they don't want customers to replace their dead batteries and continue to use the phone they want to force you into buying a new phone every two years because that's about the average lifespan of a lithium-ion phone battery by the way Apple was the first to employ this method as a way of forcing their customers to buy new phones every two years One of the many reasons I will never use an Apple product they treat their customers like b******! So Apple was the first to start doing the sealed batteries and then Samsung and other manufacturers caught on to the fact that you can force people to buy a new whole new phone every two years instead of the customer merely purchasing a replacement battery to replace their dead battery so it has nothing to do with the customer it has everything to do with forcing you to buy new phones all the time

Had it for 4 month and it had few falls and nothing hapens to it. Try to do Overview of potatoes .

Why did u even buy this phone?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣it's a Great phone 📱

Perfect first Phone for my 9 year old. It has a fair chance of surviving

worst tech review ever 😢 not helpful at all

Lousy review. Bias person, did not understand the purpose of large bezel, removable batteries. Totally missed why the phone as made and cost.

If anyone has these send me bro I need these phone (or every xcover pro).

This is an objectively bad review, wow. It's not often you can say that in good faith. You do realize that most of your criticisms are the EXACT reasons that people buy this phone? Even down to the huge bezels.

Pretty poor review and actually difficult to actually listen to, upmarket reviewer giving a bad first impression of a device designed for the building site...come on.

horrible review

Bro complains way too much

Worst review ever. You buy a phone with a removable cover and then complain that the cover is removable? Try reviewing this phone from the position of its intended demographic instead of this 'why is it not as shiny as my other phones' shtick.

haha why are you even doing this?

some people dont even have a phone..

Why this guy is so pissed off and comparing with wrong phones ... this phone will survive bike rides and rough treks ... try to throw it and test

Not very helpful video at all. Just a video about how much you seem to dislike a phone. Change the title of the video it make no sense...

No gorilla glass? Poor show samsung.

That a review or destruction ?

Nobody wants to watch a person being irritating because they don't like the phone. This review sucks, you better have working an assertive communication to improve the quality of your videos

Ok, I get it -.....This phone isn't something - But your "review" - score - the worse result - than the phone is bad actually.... -- man - do the proper job next time

Are the dislikes for video or mobile. Dislikes should be for video because that big bazzles deserve this kind of review.

Terrible review, all completely negative, very unbalanced 👎

your knife to open the Box is crap too 😁

Who hurt you, HardReset?

dislike and report !

He's right, a filmsy plastic piece of crap that doesn't feel sturdy and slips from your grip along with poor resolution. Don't make my mistake and waste your money!

what are you so pissed about 🤣 that's a kid's cellphone here in korea 🤣🤣🤣

never should get ur phone to fall anycase

gets a budget phone complains because its a budget phone?

Looks like a fake version...that cheap looks that packaging..
