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.

It has a 50-megapixel camera on the rear and a 5-megapixel shooter on the front. It has MIL-STD-810H certification for protection against drops and bumps. It has an IP68-rated build for dust and water resistance. It is backed by a replaceable 4,050mAh battery.
