Samsung has shown off a rugged version of its Galaxy smartphone - the Xcover 2 which the company says is optimized to endure against the most rugged outdoor conditions.

To cope with rural use where phone signals may be weak to non-existant, the phone comes with pre-downloaded Google map data, an enhanced GPS + GLONASS which shortens the satellite signal detection by up to 20% to track location more accurately, LED Flash next to the camera which can be used like a torch and a huge battery capacity of 570 hours (1,700mAh).
Other features include a 5-megapixel camera and 1Ghz dual core processor. The OS is Android version 4.1 (Jelly Bean).
Pricing and release details are still to be confirmed.
