The current Samsung Galaxy Rugged series – Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro and Galaxy XCover 6 Pro, set a new benchmark for technology that can withstand the rigors of the front-line business. Galaxy rugged devices meet the diverse needs of field workers across Canada and are designed to match the patience and resilience of construction workers who need them most.
While today’s construction workers clearly need technology that matches their working conditions, fortunately, the Galaxy Rugged Series provides a solution. The latest survey reveals that workers need a replaceable battery device that helps them get through their workday without interruption. It is another demand for Samsung’s anticipated Galaxy Rugged series.
Samsung Latest Survey
According to a new survey sponsored by Samsung Electronics Canada, construction workers often don’t have mobile devices to match their flexibility. Over 40% of Toronto Architectural Society members say their current mobile devices can’t handle the job.
However, as per Samsung, more than 40 percent of 713 respondents to the Toronto Construction Association ass said none or less than half of the mobile devices they use at work are built for the region’s extreme environments.
More than two-thirds (67%) of respondents said they spend half of their workday on site, and nearly half (46%) said dust and dirt were the most prevalent conditions they encountered. Nearly a quarter of respondents said they were exposed to humid environments or dealing with extreme temperatures that could damage equipment.
These environments are harmful to mobile technologies unsuitable to handle them. Due to inadequate current technology, nearly one-third (31%) of respondents say at least five mobile devices are broken or damaged at work each year, with nearly 10% estimating the number is closer to 10.
Samsung’s latest Galaxy rugged device meets the requirements of field workers and is military-grade certified for protection against drops, knocks, and vibrations. The devices themselves have also rated IP68 or dust and water resistance – a rating that extends to the S Pen included with the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro, allowing construction workers to take notes, mark up documents, and more.
Paul Edwards, Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Mobility at Samsung Electronics Canada:
“This is an industry that builds our communities and keeps them growing stronger, but durable technology to support the work remains a blind spot. This is the exact issue that Samsung is equipped to support. This survey demonstrates the need for increased adoption of rugged mobile devices across all construction environments.

Samsung Galaxy smartphone and laptop owners will be able to repair their products themselves. Today, Samsung announced the launch of the Galaxy self-repair program in South Korea, allowing consumers to repair their own products.
Thanks to the self-repair program, Korean consumers will not only be able to visit the Samsung Electronics service center and repair the product but will also be able to purchase the necessary parts online and perform the repair themselves.
Self-repair begins with some models and limited parts and will be gradually expanded in the future. Accurate repairable models and parts can be found on the official website. First, self-repair of Galaxy mobile products and some models of TVs becomes possible.
It starts with three models: Galaxy S20 ∙ S21 ∙ S22 series, Galaxy Book Pro 39.6cm (15.6- inch ) series laptops, and 80cm (32-inch) TV. Users of this model can purchase necessary parts and repair tools through the Samsung service website.
In the case of smartphones, self-repair is possible for three parts: the display, the back cover, and the charging port. A total of seven parts, including the touchpad and fingerprint recognition power button, are included in the subject of self-repair for laptops.
Once replaced, you can use the “self-repair helper app” to optimize the new part to work properly. Afterward, through the self-diagnosis function of the “Samsung Members App,” you can check whether or not there is an abnormality in the repair result.
Consumers who have completed self-repair can visit the service center or return some of the replaced parts and repair tools to Samsung through courier service and receive a refund of the eco-friendly deposit. Recovered parts are either recycled or lead to responsible disposal through inspection by Samsung.
Google’s hardware product design director Ivy Ross recently participated in a podcast show, confirming that Google has a second Pixel foldable phone, but did not disclose other details. It’s like a delay in a dual attack on Samsung’s Galaxy foldable portfolio.
Ross simply said that the Pixel device would “beyond every existing foldable,” which also caused Google to delay the product launch. She said Ross said the decision to forego launching a second foldable Pixel device was due to strict requirements for quality and innovation.
The official further added that she is proud of the team’s ability to create a better experience than existing foldable phones. It was previously reported that Google is developing a clamshell foldable phone similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. It’s unclear whether Ross’s Pixel will be the rumored foldable phone.
