Samsung Galaxy XCover 8 Pro is expected to hit the market soon as a direct successor to the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro. Ahead of the official reveal, the purported rugged smartphone allegedly appeared on the Geekbench benchmark platform, revealing few key hardware details. The listing indicates that the phone will run on a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC. Additionally, the Galaxy XCover 8 Pro was allegedly spotted on the TUV Rheinland website.
A Samsung handset surfaced on the Geekbench database with model number SM-G766U1, which is most likely a Galaxy XCover 8 Pro prototype. As seen in the listing, it got a single-core score of 1,157 and a multi-core score of 3,288. The handset in question has 5.21GB of RAM and an Android 15 operating system.
Further, the listing reveals that an octa-core chipset will power the phone. The listing shows a prime CPU core with 2.50GHz clock speed, three cores capped at 2.40GHz, and two cores at 1.80GHz. These CPU speeds suggest that the upcoming handset runs on a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC. For comparison, the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro has a Snapdragon 778G SoC under the hood.
Additionally, the alleged Galaxy XCover 8 Pro was spotted on Japan's TUV Rheinland website with model numbers SM-G766B, SM-G766U, SM-G766U1, and SM-G766W, which matches the Geekbench listing. All four model numbers could belong to different variants of the phone.
The Geekbench and TUV Rheinland listings were first spotted by 91Mobiles and independently verified by Gadgets 360.
The Galaxy XCover 8 Pro is expected to launch by the first half of this year alongside a new Galaxy Tab Active model. It is tipped to come with a 4,265mAh battery. As mentioned, it could offer upgrades over the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro, which was unveiled in July 2022. The Galaxy XCover 7 was unveiled in India in February last year. Like the predecessors, the new model could be a rugged smartphone with IP68-certified build and military-grade (MIL-STD-810H) durability.
