After as the concept of “smart phone” has become associated with sensory cell phones, the market protected models skukozhilas beyond recognition. Previously protected phones produced brands, after the period of competition between Android and iOS this market is almost entirely occupied by “Chinese”. Therefore, the presence of Samsung this same class surprised us three years ago – is surprising today. But, if you really Korean brand is not shifting production protected Galaxy – the initiative is justified.
Sami Samsung representative told that such models are aimed at those working in the harsh conditions and lovers steep iron offered Galaxy S6 Active with a corresponding price tag.
Today, however, we estimate a much more affordable model, and corporate, and “everyday” point of view, therefore – do without the photos with thoughtful the men in helmets and smartphones in the hands. It is better to check that the customer receives a secure sample gadget in 2015 as an example of the third generation Xcover.

Design and Management
Appearance protected Samsung smartphones is almost independent of fashion trends, followed by the line of Galaxy S and all other models of the brand, but This does not mean that the “off-road” brand do not have a face. On the contrary, the relief of the lateral faces and the hardware buttons below the screen in such brand Samsung have become “chip».
The front panel of Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3
It these keys and leave the most favorable, “analog” impression of use: after a subtle and absurd controls in modern models wield keys Xcover surprisingly nice. Branded blue button Xcover default triggers a flashlight, but it can be hung, and third-party software – when you look at this key somehow reminded nicherta not “the flying” in our part of the service Push-to-Talk, under which 10 years ago producers in individual key. Well, in an era of Android keys in the phone finally become useful.
Yes, and the side faces of adequate width and with serifs are very practical – in general, resistant design many users do not even come in handy, because dropping the smartphone through negligence at times more difficult than the slim models of competitors.
By the way, on the Protection of: the mobile phone has passed the certification of MIL-STD-810G (pressure testing, rapid changes in temperature, vibration and direct sunlight). That is, the phone is not “move down the roof” in the highlands and on the dashboard of the car in the heat he did not “boil».
According to the same standard smartphone will be saved after falling from a height of two meters. Hardly Xcover survive the landing display at the corner of the concrete slab, but to parade with cracks on the screen, like the owners of the same iPhone and Galaxy S, the owners of our hero is unlikely to be.
A waterproof Xcover 3 conforms to IP67 – so It boasts the same potential, for example, Galaxy S5. This means that the smart phone will survive a short-term immersion to a depth of 1 m. To drop a mobile phone while fishing is possible without any consequences for him, but sent him to scuba diving is not desirable – sooner or later he “poploheet” from such procedures. On the other hand, for underwater shooting, in addition to the certificate of IP68, is necessary a priori cool camera – why Samsung sets the improved security in the S6 Active.
We were limited to “airborne” method of testing and bathed in the fountain of our smartphone. This, by the way, a little more severe test than a dive to a depth of 1 meter with no active maneuver underwater. But Xcover 3 moved without problems – after 30 minutes of swimming became only slightly quieter speakerphone (he regained his “voice” after the smartphone slightly dried out). Wi-Fi, 4G and other amenities of civilization worked without any problems.
And this is a good result, given that the brutal catches the back cover of our model no: conventional latches and rubber in the vicinity of the slots area to cope with the task. Yes, and connectors normally do without caps, unlike the smartphone Sony, for example.
Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 in a stream of water
Because of the thickness of the body there is a smartphone in your pocket 5.5-inch PHABLET, and in the pocket on the shoulder strap of a backpack It does not fit in width. A rope to tie him to be troublesome because of the puny mounting on the left side. Fans leggings resent Serves them right .
Screen
Display Galaxy Xcover 3 luxury can not be called – between luxury and economy of our hero Samsung chose the latter option. But to set TN-matrix with poor viewing angles would be bad form, even when we are talking about uskospetsializirovannoy model, so the manufacturer has gone to the trick and installed in a smartphone exotic PLS-bar.
In a nutshell, PLS – this is such an alternative matrices IPS-authored by Samsung. That is, all the benefits of a good viewing angles and high brightness are present here, just a little differently achieved technically. The phones such displays are rare because of the flagships of the Galaxy maker has long chosen the more impressive Super AMOLED display and sale of PLS-matrices of third-party brands somehow “did not go».
Sharpen the image of the display is not the highest – density of about 207 pixels per inch is found today in low-cost models such as Microsoft Lumia 535 or the Sony Xperia E4G. No tragedy, but we have never known better. But in terms of the brightness and viewing angles display is pleasantly surprising – 340 cd / m2 in normal mode by themselves are good, and 400 cd / m2 in the “outside” (which, however, can be turned on only for 15 minutes) look even more convincing . ASUS ZenFone 2, for example, the display of such potential can only dream of.
Just select the brightness level always have to manually – automatic adjustment on Xcover 3 impossible. Someone did not pay attention to this fact, but many such “malignant economy” have no taste.
The color temperature is not ideal (the display slightly yellow) and defies regulation. But there is a useful for the “tourist” smartphone operation with gloves. It is only in the summer it seems like overkill – in frosty weather on such a function would be the dream of every owner of “lyuminievoy shovel».

Sound
Just note that for listening to music at night around the campfire is not Xcover 3 amiss – speakerphone smartphone squeezes out high volume and extreme clarity of the sound does not spoil. That is, for the ringtone and conversation when your hands are busy, amiss, but no more.
With the earpiece full order – in a normal state, it is quite loud, and after the “water treatment” remains audible, Well, more of it is not required.
Play music from the memory card in the initial state firmware have through the file manager: smartphone preinstalled only «Google Play Music”, which is tuned for online play, or save part Library of the “cloud” in advance.
Hardware
The processor Xcover 3 no less exotic than the screen – where you meet a lot of chip called Marvell Armada PXA1908? That’s right: this configuration in modern smartphones practically does not occur. Therefore, the first suspicion that creeps before exploring the unknown piece of iron – “Samsung again somewhere unearthed” trash “the chip to save pennies on the release of the smartphone».
Performance of the entire system (test Antutu Benchmark)
However, in fact, the platform Marvell to such a despicable practice has nothing to do. Filling the chip is quite modern: for example, the processor is based on four modern kernels Cortex-A53 (from the favorite people Snapdragon 410 or MediaTek MT6732 architecture cores is the same). With graphics, things are no longer so optimistic accelerator Vivante GC7000 loses and Adreno 306 and Mali-T760, so run cool games to Xcover 3 will be quite difficult.
Gaming performance (test 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited)
But the owner of the smartphone will always be available to high speed internet: chip supports LTE Cat.4, so download anything or play online video problems will not be.
One and a half gigabytes of RAM in Xcover 3 do not look very inspiring. Although samsungovskaya shell TouchWiz to Android 4.4 and good optimized amount of RAM in the smartphone still measured out “butt” or “on the verge of decency” – as you want, and call it.
CPU power (test Geekbench)
What pleases compared MediaTek chips and even more disorderly producers – receive level navigation on the platform Marvell exotic amazing for a minute smartphone is 18-20 satellites and successfully connects with 14-17 of them. In addition to GPS and GLONASS is supported, so that stability and accuracy navgiatsii we do not have the slightest chicanery – it’s nice to celebrate this fact on the “tourist” phone.
Cool quad-core processor in a watertight smartphone – not the easiest task. Therefore, persistent gamers on mobile phones will find that Xcover almost uniformly heats to warm the state has 30 minutes of gameplay. Hot Xcover 3 becomes, and the slide in the hands of beginners, but “osadochek”, you know, remains. Jokers, of course, be able to send the smartphone to cool river or refrigerator, but without that it is clear that to draw colorful graphics, this model is not suitable.
Software
Fans “ideologically pure Android» never disagree with us, but we classify shell TouchWiz to the strengths of the Galaxy Xcover 3. Because, unlike many “rootless” competition This smartphone does not look artisanal work of the Chinese, something like fasten depressingly black Android 4.4 KitKat to outdated hardware.
Pre-installed applications in our smartphone at least – “dialer”, alarm clock, browser, gallery, voice recorder, e-mail Client, FM-radio (by the way – a rarity in the new Samsung). There is even a set of applications Microsoft, which, by mutual contract manufacturers, are installed in J-series and more expensive smartphones.
Interface shell TouchWiz in the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3
By the way, soon to Xcover 3 “will come» Android 5 Lollipop – a look at the most secure smartphones, which are stuck in the era 4.2 Jelly Bean, and appreciate the difference.
Camera
Photographic potential smartphone turned out to be modest: image capture is a 5-megapixel sensor on the rear side, and a 2-megapixel for self and video chats.
Given the modest resolution of the camera, remove it well – in comparison with protected “kitayfonami” where the number of megapixels does not guarantee quality, Xcover 3 looks more “honest” device. But nothing outstanding in legacy sensors can not see. Objects in the pictures are distinguishable, the text on the need to consider possible – and thanks for that.
The camera interface in the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3
Script shooting the camera a lot, interface, of course, “vsesamsungovsky.” Exotic mode “Underwater” is also present, although nothing special is not represented – just in case the display is blocked from accidental operation under water, and management of shooting going strictly by using hardware keys.

Endurance
From the secure smartphone adoption is expected outstanding battery capacity, but the luxury Xcover 3 we are not able to treat – 2200 mAh by today’s standards is the average. On the other hand, the same ratio of the display size to the battery capacity can boast formidable in terms of the time of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, and the Galaxy S5 mini is not far away in terms of installed power.
The duration of the work in a mixed load (test PCMark, 200 cd / m2 min)
Given that the processor in our smartphone fairly modern, but the resolution of the display pulls “all the juice” of the filling, the smartphone has turned out relatively hardy. Up Records him away, but battery life of this model definitely deserves praise. And for maximalists a mode of extreme energy savings.
