Review of the Samsung Xcover B2710

 

Here is a complete walkthrough of Samsung's best tough phone, the B2710. The first tough Samsung phone to achieve an IP67 certification. Find out all about the design, user interface, features and performance of this rugged phone.

Samsung can proudly say with the Xcover B2710 “We made it!”. It is a phone that looks good, works well, is fully packed with features that all perform excellently and it can survive the hardy outdoors user or the clumsy indoor dropper.

Samsung B2710 / Xcover 271

 

Last year's B2100 is one of our favourite phones. A simple but useful device, it is highly resistant to dust, comes with a torch. and best of all, it works underwater. But as a handset the B2100 was a fairly basic GSM-only device, so the B2710 is a...

Rugged and Works Great!

Ive dropped it, drowned it, and buried it (someone has even frozen it) and it keeps on going no problem. The battery goes for about 3 days with heavy texting/talking, 5+ if you dont use it much. The flashlight is super bright and I use it all the time....

Every now and then the phone locks up when you try to correct long text messages. The battery symbol is unreliable. You will have full bars for two days, and then they will rapidly decrease towards the end of the life - no gradual fall like you would...

The phone arrived quickly works fine. I think there may be some features that don't work but it may be because I use this as an AT & T go phone.

Just the right travel GSM phone

 

I have used this phone for travel to Europe with a world prepaid SIM. It worked great, wonderful battery life compared to a smartphone. The camera took surprisingly good pictures. The rest of the "apps" are meh compared to smartphones. The super...
