The Samsung Galaxy Xcover6 Pro is one of the most rugged phones on the market with IP68 dust and water resistance, as well as a MIL-STD-810H certified design. And yet, its back easily detaches, giving you access to the user-replaceable battery. A simple rubber seal prevents water from entering the compartment.
Samsung Galaxy Xcover6 Pro: swapping the battery is easy as pie • standard Phillips head screws
The video below shows PBK Reviews dismantle one of them. The phone scores pretty high in repairability – no surprise here, one of the most common repairs these days (replacing an old battery) is trivial.
Everything else is also relatively easy, Samsung used standard Phillips screws and didn’t mess around with glue. Also, not only does this phone have a 3.5mm headphone jack, but it’s a separate module held on by a screw. It takes a bit of disassembly to get to it, but it’s not soldered to the board. The USB-C charging port is on a separate PCB, the pogo pins (which can also be used for charging) are below and the speaker assembly.
Of course, at 9.9mm and 235g, the Galaxy Xcover6 Pro is thicker and heavier than most phones with 6.6-inch screens and 4,050mAh batteries, so this easy-to-repair design features some compromises.
