For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

I got all three on my XCover 6 Pro

I had an XCover 4 and hated the specs and the Samsung aspect. Too much bloat for my tastes.

I'm glad there are others still buying these phones though, and the "Pro" makes it sound like it has modern specs!

It's very much a mid-range device but so was the price. It was still an easy decision since it is literally the only modern smartphone in existence that matched my minimum requirements. I'm coming from LG V20 so I still had to let go of FM-radio, optical image stabilization, IR blaster and the hi-fi DAC.

How's the Samsung bloatware on it?

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

But probably no easy root? That is imperative for me. I don't buy gadget i wouldn't own.

[-] Critical_Insight@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

I have no idea honestly. It's quite esoteric device so probably not.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

Even I haven't heard of it (yet). So most probably not. But still ... :-)
