Why does a phone targeted at mPOS and heavy industry even need a selfie camera? More screen, more battery; come on, get a clue Samsung!

Well I will point out 2 features here that are relevant to both rugged and standard phones: The removable battery is interesting - makes perfect sense for an enterprise use case but it's also an option many would like to have on the non-rugged models. Also the 4GB memory is a little light for the display size - adequate for now given this handset isn't meant for gamers, but maybe not future proof...

Anonymous, 09 Jan 2020No offense,but not everything is invented by sony, all major OEMs are coming up with innovations.Excluding Apple. They copy everything from the other companies, put a different name and sell it at higher price. Sony invents most and it's the most underrated company as Apple is the most overrated one.

Mik, 08 Jan 2020Why punch hole when there's bezel?Probably because it's a standard LCD screen - similar screen is used in the Honor 20 among others. Why make another different screen for what is going to be a low sales device, when there's already a LCD available with a punch-hole?

Anonymous, 09 Jan 2020I assume putting camera on protective bezel wouldn't make it pass the IP68 certification.
... moreIP-certifications don't care about fragility, as long as water and dust don't get in. It might be relevant for the MIL-based drop rating, though.
That being said, I don't put too much stock into this being the only option after long and careful development. They still have a button and probably a headphone jack up in there, it is not just bumper plastic. And they could have made it a mm taller if space really was a premium - the phone is still pretty compact for a rugged device. And a screen with a hole cam is likely less robust than one without it.
I think it is far more likely that Samsung considers hole cams to be part of their current Galaxy look, so all of them have to have it, and/or they happened to have cheap access to this particular screen and built the phone around it.

I'm sure people at Samsung had tried many options before went with this design.
