For anyone who leads an active life or those looking for a device that is tougher than your average smartphone the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 is the perfect fit. The phone is protected against dust and sand and is water resistant up to 1 metre for 30 minutes and the battery cover lock offers additional protection whilst the screen is protected with scratch-resistant glass. Aside from the active features which include a Cardio Trainer Pro app, GPS+ GLONASS and a strap holder the Xcover 2 also has all the must-have smartphone features too. Android 4.1 is on board and this works alongside TouchWiz for a great user experience.

Google Play is on hand for new apps to download and the phone memory can be expanded to make more space. 3.5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth are on board and there is a front facing camera for video calls as well as a 5-megapixel rear facing camera for taking snaps which can also be used underwater. Samsung has added some innovative features to the phone such as S Voice which lets you control the phone with voice commands and Smart Stay which will keep the screen illuminated until you look away from it. The Samsung Xcover 2 blends all the best parts today's smartphones including a dual-core processor with an extra tough exterior so you can keep it with you whatever you choose to do.
