Samsung makes rugged Galaxy S23 phones specifically for tactical battlefield use

Samsung recently introduced Tactical Edition smartphones for the US military, the Galaxy S23 TE and Galaxy XCover 6 Pro TE. Both devices bring a laser rangefinder, external GPS connectivity, a tactical radio, a stealth mode to block radio signals, and a touchscreen that can be used even while wearing military gloves.

It supports ‘Night Vision Mode’, which protects the eyes when wearing night vision goggles, and ‘5G Band Lock Mode’, which allows connection to certified 5G networks only. It automatically accepts calls while the speaker is on, prevents call recording, and keeps mission-related secrets safe.

No prices are given, as these are probably not even for general use or retail sale. With the specs shown, I doubt these would be very affordable either.
