As browser benchmarks are not nearly as influenced by different screen resolutions here we sets of data that is much easier to compare (woohoo!) Here with have the Samsung Galaxy xCover compared against the HTC Incredible S, Huawei MediaPad, HTC 7 Trophy and the HTC Wildfire S. Also included are guest appearances from the xCover’s rivals; the Motorola Defy+ and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active.
The xCover nearest comparison comes in the form of the HTC 7 Trophy running on Windows Phone 7 Mango. They essentially tied Peacekeeper with the xCover taking small wins in Browsermark and Sunspider.
The more powerful dual-core Motorola Atrix 2 and the Huawei MediaPad tablet stamped their authority in the tests they participated in.
Comparing the xCover to the other tough, IP67 certified phones the xCover again comes in third place. In every test where the xCover faced competition from its rivals it came in last. Reaffirming my belief that the xCover has the weakest hardware out of the IP67 certified Androids; something I already mentioned on the previous page.
That is one hell of a review blair!
Well I have this phone and I think it sucks. id be harder on the product. I am on my third now via the phone company as the first two started developing problems (call dropout etc).
Its a pretty looking phone but its not the greatest.
Thanks Roger!
And Davis, I encountered none of the major issues you have mentioned. But trust me if I did you would hear about them
Like the benchmarks.
What is it like for playing app games? screen no use?
For Angry Birds and the like the display is fine, anything that involves a bit more of a 3D experience it won’t be that amazing. I didn’t really test many games on it to be honest though.
Unfortunately I have to go with any phone I purchase in 2G mode (T-Mobile USA). I am considering the Galaxy Xcover or purchasing the USA identical (Samsung Rugby Smart). But neither are getting rave reviews as far as I can see.
When the Motorola Defy continues to beat the Samsung(s), it really makes me reluctant and I don’t want a Defy.
The Rugby is more like the xCover’s long lost cousin, rather than the USA version of it. The Rugby has the better display, processor, camera and by noticeable amounts as well. That being said I have never seen the Rugby in person, nor used the Defy for long enough to say what it is best out of the two. But I imagine the xCover would come in third
I have an Xcover. It is okay, but it occasionally locks up and I have to remove the battery to reboot. The other thing, something I dislike far more than the phone, is the software that backs the phone to my computer is very limited. For instance I can find no way in which I can backup my txt messages and access them on the computer. The phone has too limited memory to be bothered with music. And why would I put a podcast on the thing? But I can and back it up. But no capacity or messages! I won’t be replacing it with another Samsung when my contract runs out in a year. The camera is okay, the images are quite clear even at quite large magnifications.
