Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 - Certified Refurbished Rugged Smartphone
The Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 (SM-G525F) features a powerful Samsung Exynos 850 octa-core processor running at 2.0 GHz, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage expandable to 1TB, a 5.3-inch HD+ PLS TFT display, and a 16MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture—all engineered within a rugged, military-grade build that delivers exceptional durability and reliable performance for demanding work environments. This certified refurbished device has been meticulously tested and verified by Reboot IT to ensure it meets the highest standards of functionality and quality.
Built for the Toughest Environments
Designed specifically for professionals working in construction, logistics, warehousing, field services, and outdoor industries, the Galaxy XCover 5 withstands the challenges that would damage standard smartphones. Its IP68 water and dust resistance rating protects against submersion up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes, whilst the MIL-STD-810H military certification ensures it can handle drops from 1.5 metres onto flat steel surfaces. The removable 3,000 mAh battery with 15W fast charging means you can swap batteries on the job site without stopping work, and the glove-touch support allows operation with work gloves on—essential for maintaining productivity in tough conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
The XCover programmable key provides instant access to your most-used functions, whether that's activating the LED flashlight, launching emergency calls, or opening enterprise apps like Knox Capture for barcode scanning. Face recognition works even whilst wearing gloves, and the dedicated POGO pins enable charging through a desk dock without wearing out the USB-C port. Push-to-Talk functionality with Microsoft Teams integration transforms this smartphone into a walkie-talkie for team communication, whilst Samsung Knox defence-grade security protects sensitive business data with hardware and software encryption.
The 5.3-inch display with 311 ppi pixel density delivers clear visibility in bright outdoor conditions, and the 16MP rear camera with Phase Detection Autofocus captures detailed photos and 1080p video for documentation and reporting. With comprehensive connectivity including 4G LTE, dual-band Wi‑Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and GPS with multiple satellite systems (GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo), this device keeps you connected wherever work takes you.

About the Operating System
This device runs Android 14, which offers improved lock screen customisation, simplified privacy settings with Health Connect for encrypted health data management, and welcome accessibility improvements including enhanced hearing aid support and flash notifications. Whilst Android 14 focuses on refinements rather than headline features, it delivers a smoother, more secure user experience with regional preferences centralised in one menu and enhanced battery tracking. The flexibility of Android allows extensive app availability and customisation options, with Samsung's One UI providing a user-friendly interface optimised for productivity, though updates may arrive less frequently compared to iOS devices.
Cosmetic Grading - What to Expect
Our refurbished Galaxy XCover 5 devices are available in two grades. Excellent Grade units appear like new with very minor wear—expect light or fine scratches on the screen that are shallow enough not to catch on a fingernail, whilst the edge around the glass remains virtually flawless with possible light scratching around the power port. Good Grade devices remain fully tested and functional but may display body scratches, minor paint chips, or slight scratching from moderate use, though screens are guaranteed free from dead pixels and cracks.
