Key strengths
The 4050 mAh battery is user-replaceable, so a charged spare can be swapped in during a long shift. One battery is in the box; Samsung-certified spares are sold separately.
Rated IP68 (dust, and up to 1.5 metres of fresh water for 30 minutes), built to MIL-STD-810H, and it uses Gorilla Glass Victus+.
Keeps a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a nano-SIM, an eSIM and a microSD card (up to 1 TB) can be used together because the card has its own slot.
A customisable XCover Key can launch apps or actions, and the touchscreen is tuned to respond through thin leather gloves.
