SAMSUNG GALAXY XCOVER 4S Price: Around £200
The fact that there are so many videos on YouTube of people trying – and failing – to smash Xcovers, says a lot about their reputation. It was made for outdoor pursuit types but is ideal for handling mobile worker bashings.
What’s noticeable about the phone is it feels like a proper smartphone – it’s thin, but with an easy grip and non-slip finish.
It’s also super handy for people who work outdoors – it’s increased touch sensitivity means that even gloves can work on it.
