Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4s

[stumac94]

Hello,

I am wondering if the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4s is supported on the network. I'm looking to upgrade from the A5 but still have an IP68 rating without spending 1000+

Thanks!

For the type of prices that I'm seeing the Xcover 4s being sold for, I'd say that you'd be better off with a Galaxy A8 (2018). I don't really see an Xcover 4 or Xcover 4s to really be an upgrade to the Galaxy A5 (2017), but as being more rugged.

@stumac94  That phone is not recommended since it's missing LTE Band 4.

It's just about frequencies supported on the phone, I think LTE b2 b4 and b7 are desirable

If Bell or Telus can use it then pm can, the only difference is that you have to make sure (3g) wcmda 850 and 1900 are present as (unlike Telus or Bell) you cannot talk over LTE with public mobile

Check out umidigi a5 pro for 120-175. They have them on Alibaba for 130 now during spring festival.

If specs are not enough there is umidigi f2 for 250

Specs look good. It will work.
