The US military is purchasing these tactical phones from Samsung. More information, tactical radio, and stealth mode
Samsung creates a variety of gadgets especially for the military in addition to commercial mobile phones for the general public. Images of such devices were displayed at a South Korean National Assembly Office exhibition.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition is the first. Several hardware and software modifications have been made to this popular smartphone to enable "external GPS communications, tactical radios, stealth modes that block radio signals, and laser binding." When wearing night vision goggles that are integrated into soldiers' helmets, the display is made to be simple to use. Tactical gloves are also compatible with it. Naturally, it has a feature that restricts its access to 5G networks that have been approved. The X-Cover6 Pro, the second cover, has a larger form factor and provides the same functionality.
Approximately 12,000 of these devices, which range in price from $1,300 to $1,500, are anticipated to be shipped by Samsung each year. It is interesting that these phones are off limits to the South Korean military. The nation's legislation mandates that military equipment have physical security features that can be broken by the user in order to keep it out of enemy hands. There seems to be a lot of confidence because the company has been working with the Americans for ten years.
Despite being a local, national company, Apple is not the one offering the technology support, despite what many people may believe.
