Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 receives official recognition, built to IP67 certification

The Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2, which was one of the handsets that were presumed to be unveiled at the MWC 2013, has already galloped under the spotlight. Along with the official announcement, the company has also revealed the picture of the phone for the first time.

Samsung elucidates that the Galaxy Xcover 2 will be an apt device for adventurous people on a lookout for a durable smartphone. It has been built to IP67 certification which implies that it is not only dust- and sand-proof, but also water-proof which signifies that it can survive even after being immersed in up to one meter deep water for around 30 minutes.

The sturdy device opts for the 4.1 version of Jelly Bean, which has been trending in recent times, though it would be pleasing if it receives Android 4.2 as well. A 1GHz dual core processor has been fitted within the 148.5 gram phone and 1GB of RAM also tags along. As seen in many smartphones these days, the handset comes with 4GB of flash memory and the storage capacity can be expanded up to 32GB using a microSD card.

A 4-inch TFT touchscreen display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels occupies most part of the front panel and leaves enough space for a VGA camera to squeeze into place. Sitting next to an LED flash is a 5MP snapper featuring auto focus. Users will be able to surf the Internet on the go, thanks to Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and if we were to believe the OEM, the device possesses Bluetooth 4.0 which can detect gadgets from up to 50 meters away.
