Comparisons Featuring Samsung S5690 Galaxy Xcover
Short Review
- The Samsung S5690 Galaxy Xcover features a rugged design with dimensions of 121.5 x 65.9 x 12 mm and a weight of 100g, making it durable yet portable.
- Its 3.65-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 158 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by an 800 MHz Marvell MG2 CPU and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p, while there is no front-facing camera.
- The 1500 mAh battery offers basic longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is limited by modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
