Oppo expanded its F-series lineup with a new rugged smartphone, the F27 Pro+ 5G, earlier this week. This launch marked the company’s first venture into military-grade durability within this lineup. The smartphone features a MediaTek chipset and a full HD+ display and aims to combine performance with robustness.
On the other hand, Samsung’s Galaxy XCover 7 also entered the scene in February. This is the South Korean tech giant’s inaugural rugged smartphone tailored for enterprise use to be launched in India. With military-grade certification, a programmable key for customisable shortcuts, and an IP68 rating, it promises resilience against water, dust, and drops from up to 1.5 meters.
Here we’ve explored how these two rugged smartphones stack up against each other in terms of durability, features, and overall performance.
