Samsung made a phone for chaos and T-Mobile just made it free (for some)
Just a month after Samsung launched the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro, it is now officially available at T-Mobile. Designed for those who deal with chaos head-on, the XCover 7 Pro brings serious durability and performance for emergency teams, field workers and frontline professionals. Starting May 15, T-Mobile customers can grab the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro, which is fully certified for T-Mobile 's T-Priority – a special 5G solution made to keep first responders connected when everything else might be breaking down. This means faster speeds, less lag and network priority when it matters most. Here is what T-Mobile is offering for public safety agencies, emergency teams and business users: Get the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro for free (or up to $600 off an eligible Samsung device) with a new line on Business Unlimited Advanced — no trade-in required. Get it free (or up to $800 off an eligible device) when you trade in an eligible device on an eligible Business Unlimited plan as an existing customer. – Mo Katibeh, Chief Marketing Officer, T-Mobile Business Group, May 2025 The XCover 7 Pro isn't about flashy specs – it is all about getting the job done no matter the conditions. It is IP68 rated for water and dust resistance, MIL-STD-810H certified for durability and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus Plus. The rugged build can handle drops, shocks, extreme temps, and more. It even has pogo pins if you need an alternative charging setup. You also get a glove-friendly touchscreen and push-to-talk (PTT) support for instant communication. Combine that with T-Priority's 5G network slice and you are looking at a device that stays connected when others might struggle. The XCover 7 Pro is the latest in Samsung's rugged series. | Image credit – Samsung While it is not aiming to be a spec monster, the XCover 7 Pro does see a solid upgrade over the standard model: Chipset : Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (a big jump from the Dimensity 6100 Plus in the non-Pro version) : Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (a big jump from the Dimensity 6100 Plus in the non-Pro version) Display : 6.6-inch TFT LCD with a waterdrop notch : 6.6-inch TFT LCD with a waterdrop notch RAM/Storage : 6 GB + 128 GB (expandable to 2TB) : 6 GB + 128 GB (expandable to 2TB) Battery : 4,350mAh removable battery : 4,350mAh removable battery Cameras : 50 MP main + 8 MP ultrawide + 13 MP selfie It ships with Android 15 out of the box and is promised seven years of OS and security updates. That is a major boost compared to other XCover phones. So if your job throws you into chaotic situations where staying connected is non-negotiable, the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro could be the perfect fit. But if you are exploring other options, it is worth checking out the best rugged phones available right now to see what suits your needs. For example, if you are on Verizon instead of T-Mobile , the carrier's exclusive Kyocera DuraForce PRO 3 is a solid alternative – it is MIL-STD-810H certified and built to handle drops from up to 5 feet onto concrete without breaking a sweat.

Ready for Anything: T‑Mobile Strengthens Powerful Technology Arsenal for Hurricane and Wildfire Seasons
BELLEVUE, WA / / May 2, 2025 / BELLEVUE, WA / ACCESS Newswire / May 2, 2025 / T-Mobile International AG New AI innovation, T-Satellite, T-Priority and a powerful fleet boost T‑Mobile's response to keep communities and first responders connected when disaster strikes Hurricane and wildfire seasons are here, and T-Mobile is ready. As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, the Un-carrier has stepped up its preparedness efforts with new advanced technology, expanded capabilities and an even more resilient network to keep people connected when it matters most. This year, T-Mobile has rolled out next-gen technology and upgrades to support disaster response and recovery, including: Smarter Network That Reacts Faster: T-Mobile's Enhanced Self-Organizing Network (SON) uses real-time data and AI to detect issues and adapt automatically, ensuring more reliable connectivity before, during and after disasters. Seamless Satellite Messaging: T-Satellite with Starlink, America's first and only "direct connect" satellite service, has delivered over500,000 messages and 140 Wireless Emergency Alerts during recent hurricanes and wildfires - no setup, apps or extra hardware required on most modern smartphones. AI-Powered Threat Detection: T-Mobile's Emergency Operations Centers now use Dataminr integrated into Everbridge to better detect severe weather and infrastructure threats in real-time. Bigger, Stronger Response Vehicles: T-Mobile has added new, larger and tech-loaded XL SatCOWs (Satellite Cell on Wheels) and XL SatCOLTs (Satellite Cell on Large Trucks) - the largest and most capable in T-Mobile's fleet that provide more coverage than existing trucks. Unprecedented Support for Response Efforts: T-Mobile's T-Priority features the nation's first network slice for first responders and helps them stay prepared, respond faster and protect the communities they serve. "At T-Mobile, we know that in today's world, staying connected isn't a luxury - it's a lifeline," said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology, T-Mobile. "We're constantly advancing our network's strong foundation with smarter technology, advanced AI and space-based satellite innovation to make it even more responsive and resilient." Self-Organizing Network: Smarter, Faster Disaster Response with AI and Automation Through proactive AI, T-Mobile's SON enables the network to self-heal and adapt in real time - detecting outages, assessing nearby cell sites and optimizing performance automatically to maintain coverage and prevent congestion. If a cell tower goes down, SON can automatically adjust nearby sites - tilt antennas, increase power and reroute signals - to fill coverage gaps. It also smartly distributes network traffic to prevent backup sites from becoming overloaded, helping preserve reliable service even when strained. When commercial power fails, SON conserves energy by shifting spectrum use to extend generator and battery life. During Hurricanes Helene and Milton, T-Mobile's SON performed over 121,000 antenna adjustments. And during the Southern California wildfires, it executed more than 12,000 - all to keep people connected. T-Satellite: Connectivity When Needed With T-Satellite's satellite-to-mobile service, people can text friends, family and 911 - regardless of wireless provider when cell towers are down. T-Satellite is the first and only space-based mobile network in the country that connects your phone automatically when traditional cell service isn't available - no action needed. Dataminr: Preparedness Starts with Visibility and Innovation T-Mobile has boosted the speed and accuracy of its disaster response by integrating Dataminr's real-time AI-powered alert system into its Everbridge Visual Command Center - the company's centralized hub for threat monitoring. This integration scans vast amounts of public data - from expert sources to news sites-to detect emerging events and provide early alerts for severe weather, infrastructure risks and emergencies across the U.S. This gives T-Mobile faster threat visibility than before, enabling quicker risk assessment and resource mobilization to respond more effectively to protect network operations. New XL Fleet, Hybrid Tech and Hardened Network Enable Rapid Emergency Response T-Mobile has expanded its emergency fleet with new XL Satellite assets - XL SatCOWs (Satellite Cell on Wheels) and XL SatCOLTs (Satellite Cell on Large Trucks) - featuring automated deployment, 80 to 100-feet masts and remote monitoring. These additions bolster a nationwide fleet of satellite-enabled vehicles. New hybrid portable generators extend site uptime with refuels, further supporting T-Mobile's hardened network, that includes overlapping coverage, backup power, redundant backhaul routes and rigorous site maintenance. Following Hurricanes Helene and Milton in October 2024, T-Mobile restored 99% of customer connectivity within 72 hours of landfall for each hurricane, twice as fast as in previous hurricanes, deploying 600 emergency crew members and over 800 generators. During the Southern California wildfires, 99% of network sites were restored within nine days of the ongoing emergency. Throughout the disaster, T-Mobile also provided critical equipment to first responders and free charging packs, hotspots and home internet to anyone in need - regardless of their provider. Priority Connectivity for First Responders T-Priority, T-Mobile's innovative solution for first responders not only provides priority but better network performance through a dedicated 5G slice that provides up to five times the network resources available to the average user. This ensures that first responders on eligible plans get lower latency and faster 5G speeds more consistently for data-intensive communications tools, along with the highest priority connectivity even in the most congested conditions.
