    Robust smartphone

    Smartphone changed to replace an aging Samsung XCover 3, but it has done well for 6 years, despite drops, rain, cold and heat and still works. But had to upgrade to a newer version of Android, as some applications no longer worked on my XCover 3 running Android 5.1. Easy to migrate data with Smart Switch and updated to Android 10 immediately without any problems. Easy to handle and not too bulky. Good smartphone for someone who doesn't want a gas factory smartphone. And in addition removable battery...

    Very robust device

    Very strong device, therefore suitable for those who want to give it a hard life... I use it on building sites, it is not afraid of water and mud.
    My previous one fell from a 2nd floor balcony and came out with just a small shock on the back!
    The phone function was out of order at 2 1/2 years old, so take the 4 year warranty to be safe. Even with this one it's a very good deal compared to the price of other rugged phones!

    Interesting features mainly due to Android

    I dropped it four times. If the screen was not damaged, the waterproofing was compromised at the level of one of the buttons because of the plastic that cracked.

    It's not a big deal for me, but for someone who does field work in a dirty, wet environment, you might want to consider a more robust model.

    The main positive points are the battery (which lasts two days in "classic" use), android and its evolutions, the eternal physical buttons that make it easier to hold (thanks to samsung for not having integrated them into the screen), the power and the sufficient storage space that allow you to use a few applications without breaking your head.

    Meets expectations

    Excellent handling (even with one hand) due to the "physical" buttons and the relatively small size of the screen (which keeps a very good readability).
    The only downside is that at the present time (June 2020), it is not compatible with all the integration possibilities with Windows 10 (already available or beta) via the "Your phone" app.

    It's a smartphone.

    Everything works fine, I ordered a case to protect it from the dangers of the building site. It's a laptop used at work. Mail, internet, calls...
    One regret is the three buttons at the bottom are a bit "stiff", on my old laptop they were integrated into the touchscreen. This configuration is my preference.
    I still don't understand the menu on the left (content provider?)

    Practical and robust

    This smartphone is decent, its performance is good, it accommodates two sim cards and an SD card that are easy to install. Its shockproof shell is pleasant in hand. On the other hand I'm disappointed that Samsung didn't equip it with an AMOLED screen, so the display quality is reduced. It remains a good phone for extreme conditions.
    The delivery by LDLC is perfect, as usual.
