Since I was very pleased with the outdoor properties of the Xover 1 but, there was now the Xover 2 as a substitute.
Here is my conclusion from the comparison with my old Xcover 1 from the perspective of a mobile phone-using construction manager.
- The outdoor properties are still great, and for me the main reason to buy
- The processing power is now so much better than the Xcover 1 that it was almost a new world for me.
The Xcover 1 needed before forever to load apps, such as Blitzer.de. The issue is now off the table. All loads
now fast and flowing without waiting
- The memory available is also essential lush and especially in everyday use really noticeable larger.
- Samsung has improved the voice control, so it's really fun to dictate SMS. There meaningless word combinations are rarely out here. For 95% this works well.
- The proposed strip of words when writing text (SMS + Mail) is better and really offers logical suggestions. The thing seems to be capable of learning and used by me but often used in normal everyday uncommon Baubegriffe such as VOB or building permit then priority. I like that.
- The Organizer now finally mastered the necessary everyday functions such as bi-weekly repetitions (
unbelievable that previously did not work during Xcocver 1)
- The Organizer is a total much clearer and now represents the entire month is good on a daily basis.
- The liquid of all processes on the screen is now as you can expect from a working phone. The Xcover 1 was
sometimes painfully slow.
- The camera will trigger much more quickly and has to use now good for snapshots. In addition, there is now a
second front camera cute
- The standby times are also longer, so I really can during the day full-time work with it without the
To seek Charger
- The entire app and software equipment is better, more meaningful, more clearly.
Samsung has therefore learned from reviews to Xcover 1
The Xcover2 may initially keep up approximately with the iPhone 4 and my girlfriend has not disappointed my expectations. With the iPhone 5 I have no comparison.
Stylish looks the way the unit also. The brown stain color of its predecessor was a bit .... well ... retro?
Outdoor does not have to have camouflage colors.

Second evaluation mid June 2013
The mobile phone is repeatedly fell down (as usual) and yet still intact.
So robustness fine.
The closure of the charging plug opening is unfortunately demolished - somehow that was to be expected, if the particle is 4x abgefummelt daily or reingesteckt again.
Too bad. In order for the water resistance is unfortunately in the bucket.
The speed is not quite as impressive as felt from starting to especially after a few zusätzlichern Apps.
But still sufficient.
Nimble and equipped with more power reserves - and is materiality because the Iphone but my girlfriend.
Which in practice often disturbs me sometimes, is that the appliance is in-dieHosentasche-stick like to makes the screen sharp and then makes any dialing attempts in his pocket, or to adjust what the menu. Depending on how you move.
Say, the screen not only responds to finger, but also to warm dungarees.
But- pocket. rear- especially is also not a good place for a cell phone. I admit that.
Ansonsten- all salvation, all as described.
