Samsung Galaxy S6 Active is one of the best rugged Android smartphones one can get in the US, coming with top specs and IP68 rating, but it also has a major drawback, namely its price. While the S6 Active retails for $695 USD unlocked, the Galaxy Xcover 3 costs less than half. Obviously, it also has lower specs and its protection from the elements is only rated IP67.
Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 is powered by a quad-core Marvell Armada chip, sporting 1.5 GB of memory and 8 GB of internal storage. Its 4.5-inch display has a low-end resolution of only 800X480 pixels. The two cameras also place it in the entry level area of the market - 2 MP on the front and 5 MP on the back. Unfortunately, the handset only comes loaded with Android KitKat and its 4G LTE capabilities cannot be used on AT&T and T-Mobile.
Amazon reseller CANGURO currently has 8 Galaxy Xcover 3 SM-G388F units in stock. The only color available is dark silver and the price of this 8 GB, factory unlocked rugged smartphone is $300 USD.
