Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy XCover 4s technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy XCover 4s suits buyers looking for a compact phone with water and dust protection, but its 2800 mAh battery is among the lowest-capacity batteries in phones of its time. That is a notable trade-off for a phone meant to be carried through the day, even with a removable battery and fast charging.

Its 5-inch PLS LCD display has Gorilla Glass 5, and the phone carries IP68 and MIL-STD-810G protection. The 294 ppi density is below average, while its design and display together fare worse than most phones of its time. At 172 g, it weighs less than the average phone of its time. Performance also falls behind: its AnTuTu result of 116,370 is worse than that of most phones, as are its 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. A memory card can add up to 256 GB.

Connectivity is better than that of most phones of its time. The camera overall is below average, although its f/1.7 aperture is among the brightest; it has a 16 MP camera and records video at 1080p and 30 fps. With a NeoScore of 3.3, the Galaxy XCover 4s is best suited to buyers who prioritize compact size, protection and connectivity over battery capacity, performance and built-in storage.
