A gigantic wall of text just to say we don’t have free chargers for whatever reason. IMHO they totally miss the point of the controversy…

    Look at Samsung Galaxy XCover FieldPro: https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-introduces-galaxy-xcover-fieldpro-rugged-smartphone-thats-built-tough-field-ready/

    It was basically Samsung Galaxy S9 but in a rugged body, targeted for first responders and alike. Highlight:

    Powered to last the day. With a replaceable 4500mAh battery and POGO pin charging, running low on charge is never a concern. XCover FieldPro ships with an extra battery and is field replaceable, meaning staff can easily swap out batteries while at work.

    MIL-STD-810G, Anti-shock, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance

    You can’t really make an excuse for “waterproofing” after making device like this.

    I’d really love something like this honestly. Physical navigation buttons and dock charging. Mmmmm. It makes so much sense on rugged phones.
    Thanks for the higher sensitivity “glove mode”, but give me buttons as well, damn it!

      That’s actually a couple versions behind. I’ve got an XCover 6 Pro for work and I absolutely love it. The notification light and customizable buttons are my favorite.
