Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 – The Beginning

Remember when back in the times when all we had were durable, withstanding Nokia phones which could not be harmed even if dropped down from 2 storeys. Or when tipped in water, nothing would change. Just leave it to dry out in the sun or under some ventilating fan and all’s good. Water-resistant phones were to be treasured back then. But as the years passed and technology gradually stepped forward, these Nokia (Symbian) phones became near extinct and their seats were taken by Smartphones. A common joke that used to be played amongst youngsters, then and now, also drifted away as these Symbian phones left.

Back in 2014, everyone was talking about how phone companies should create water resistant devices so as “throwing people in water can become funny again”. Nearly everyone was talking about this. At last, the dreams of all those individuals have come true. Samsung has just now released one killer smartphone with features and characteristics never seen before. Everyone would love to get their hands on its exceptionally special body.

Dust, water, salt, humidity, rain, solar radiation, thermal and transport shock; you name it.
