Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 was launched in India in February 2024 with military-grade (MIL-STD-810H) durability certification and an IP68 rating. The South Korean smartphone brand is reportedly working on a Pro version of the Galaxy XCover 7. Samsung is yet to confirm the existence of such a smartphone, but a new leak hints at the chipset that could power the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro. The upcoming rugged smartphone could feature a Qualcomm chipset.

Android Authority spotted references to a 'Galaxy XCover 7 Pro' model in code provided by a source. These strings hint at an upcoming smartphone that will run on a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (SM7635) chip which was launched in August last year. The presence of this chipset suggests that the upcoming handset could be considerably faster than the existing Galaxy XCover 7 model.

The Galaxy XCover 7 has an unnamed octa-core 6nm processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Samsung has not revealed the model of the chipset, but it is believed to be the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ SoC.
