Rugged Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4 will be out in the UK on April 24 for £249

At the beginning of March Samsung made the Galaxy Xcover 4 official, and now the phone is getting closer to its release, at least in Europe. We already heard that it would cost €259 in Eurozone countries, and today we can tell you how much you'll have to pay for it over in the UK.

It's priced at £249, SIM-free of course. The Xcover 4 is expected to be in stock in the UK on April 24, and starting today you can pre-order one from online retailers such as Clove.

Only a black version seems to be on its way, with 16GB of built-in storage. The Galaxy Xcover 4 is the latest entrant in Samsung's line of rugged mid-rangers. Thus it comes with both IP68 and MIL-STD 810G certifications for withstanding the elements as well as some amount of abuse.

Hardware-wise it has a 5-inch 720p touchscreen, a 13 MP f/1.9 main camera with LED flash, a 5 MP f/2.2 selfie snapper, and a 2,800 mAh battery. It's powered by a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor, aided by 2GB of RAM. The internal storage is expandable, and the phone runs Android 7.0 Nougat.
