Samsung has announced the launch of the Galaxy XCover 7 smartphone in India. The ultra-rugged smartphone was announced globally last month, and it is now available in India in two versions: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition. It can only be purchased by enterprises and institutions, which means general consumers won't be able to buy the phone.
This is Samsung's first Android smartphone in India that is made for enterprise use.
Galaxy XCover 7 pricing in India for Enterprise and Standard models
The Galaxy XCover 7 is priced at INR 27,208 for the Standard Edition and INR 27,530 for the Enterprise Edition. The Standard Edition comes with a 1-year warranty, while the Enterprise Edition comes with a 2-year warranty.

Samsung is also offering a 12-month Knox Suite subscription with the Galaxy XCover7 Enterprise Edition, which means companies can secure, deploy, and manage the phone for their employees.
