Samsung Electronics, a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, semiconductors and telecommunications, has recently introduced the Samsung GALAXY Xcover (Model: GT-S5690), a touch screen smartphone that combines intuitive social networking features with a stunning waterproof design.
“We’ve designed the Samsung GALAXY Xcover especially for our active consumers, those who live without limits,” said Hee Chang Yee, MD Samsung Pakistan. “We have combined the best of our social features together with a strong, airtight chassis that makes this smartphone resistant to dust and water damage, to bring our customers a smartphone that can stand up to their active lifestyles.”
The Samsung GALAXY Xcover has been cleverly manufactured to be IP67 compliant, meaning that it is airtight to protect against dirt and water damage. Engineered with materials designed to protect it from wear and tear, the Samsung GALAXY Xcover is the ideal smartphone for active users, is waterproof up to a depth of one meter and is powered by AndroidTM 2.3 (“Gingerbread”) the newest version of the world’s most popular mobile platform optimized for smartphones.
The Samsung GALAXY Xcover is equipped with Samsung’s Social Hub, allowing users to communicate with whoever they want, however they want, all from one place – their contact’s list. Communication history, Instant Messenger status and updates from social networking sites are all brought to a single destination. Users can access message types (push e-mail, text, voicemail and SNS) and respond directly without resorting to individual applications. GALAXY Xcover users have the ultimate inbox that allows immediate access to their friends and their world.
With GoogleTM mobile services providing practical and fun tools for everyday life, users can discover the latest apps and games with Android MarketTM, share their location with friends using Google MapsTM with Google Latitude, and watch the latest videos and content with YouTubeTM.
Ultra-connectivity is enabled by HSDPA 7.2/ HSUPA 5.76, Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth v3.0+ HS, ensuring that users are constantly connected to the people that matter to them.
The GALAXY Xcover comes with a 3MP auto-focus camera with LED flash. For added convenience, the flash has been optimized and can be converted to operate as a powerful torch, providing added functionality in situations when you most need it.
