Samsung still make the rugged Xcover range which has both replaceable batteries and waterproofing. And 3.5mm jacks too.
These devices are mostly sold in enterprise environments (eg field use, factories) and as such get a lot of wear and tear. But they hold up well. They're not ultra rugged but a good compromise. We use tons of them in our factories, we replaced DECT handheld phones with the Xcovers loaded with ms teams. Not an ideal setup (teams for mobile kinda sucks) but at least this way they can easily communicate with people in the offices.
- Barbing 7mo agoDimensions well worth it: Samsung Galaxy XCover7 169 x 80.1 x 10.2 mm (6.65 x 3.15 x 0.40 in) Apple iPhone 17 Pro 150 x 71.9 x 8.8 mm (5.91 x 2.83 x 0.35 in) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Xcover_series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Xcover_series
- wolvoleo 7mo agoYes but they just don't make a small model. Same as their consumer midrange line (A36/A57). They did before. The Xcover 4S was 146.2 x 73.3 x 9.7 mm (5.76 x 2.89 x 0.38 in) Also, these are business rugged models, unlike the iPhone.
