My last android I purchased was the v20 back in 2016 and it worked amazing up until about 2020 when Android stopped receiving updates and apps stopped working. I've been searching and searching for a new android that has a replaceable battery and there aren't many options at all. Most of them are very cheap, bottom of the line and noname brands or outdated specs..... this is when the clouds opened, the light beamed down and the name Samsung Xcover Pro 6 appeared. (Obviously dramatic and didn't really happen).
The phone was almost identical size to the v20...a larger phone with lots of real estate for my fat fingers to wander free range...
Speed is fast, no lag, screen is fast and responsive, screen is bright and battery life seems pretty good for heavy use.
So with the above I already was pleased but then.... the phone has a replaceable battery! GENIUS! Phones outlast their batteries and planned obsolescence socks for us the consumer. Samsung did us right with a good phone WITH replaceable battery.
I also like the 2 programmable extra buttons this phone has...I haven't dabbled with them yet as I've only had the phone for 1 week but I already have used the previous programmed flashlight.
I picked up the unlocked version which I was able to pop my Sim card right in and with seconds my phone was loaded, and accessing t-mobile network. No issues at all.
Speaker is loud, so far my voice is clear to the other people I've spoken with and asked, Bluetooth works well and easily paired to my Sony headphones.
Another PLUS is the 3.5mm jack! Bluetooth is a subpar quality of audio transmission to analog and I frequently use my studio headphones with my phone when checking mixes. Big kudos to keeping the 3.5mm jack alive!
I used the camera and it seems fine...photos were clear and seemed to be balanced for indoors photos.
Absolutely happy with my purchase. If you have a v20 you love but want to upgrade....just do it! Press buy. It's worth it.
