" Then put it in another device you have immediate access to data. "

Not unless it's encrypted, especially by the previous device.

    Lol, where it got IR camera, thermal camera, satellite calls/msgs. It's not sci-fi features, but surely tactical ones.
    Just selling the brand name without anything worth the name and amount of money they make.

      I don't know what tactical is but bought a small tactical bag recently as it had many pockets and looked cool plus materials were durable. Brand was Highland Tactical.

        Those futures should be standard in any Samsung galaxy device

          it may be drop resistant but how about the camera lens?

            Phone made for millitary and yet i wonder if any millitary would buy this.
            Some oukitel phones are way more rugged than this same for doogee phones like Doogee V max with a 22k mAh cell.

Then put it in another device you have immediate access to data. No need for internet. SD cards can also be physically destroyed easily to prevent enemies form accessing them. Unlike clouds, which can be hacked remotely, and on top of that, data is inside large storage drives, requiring special facilities for physics destruction

                Also you have to have a SIM tool on you to remove the SD card from the phone, it's not as quick of a process as some people think. It's not as bad on something like an Xperia though.

                And I'm not saying the military should use the cloud, hell no, that's dumb.

                    L.O.R.D, 21 Sep 2023Why not available to everyone else 💀Dont tell me you would like to buy regular S23 with some plastic alliexpress made case for 3000 for example.
                    It makes no sense at all.

                      Dr. Watson, 21 Sep 2023Do you think the military gives a piss about SD cards?Ability to easily enter/remove data within seconds in definitely far more tactical than relying on cloud. You're too dumb to understand that.

                                        Weird flex but ok.

                                        If it not available to the mass, why announced it openly?.. just go and meet government officials to sold it.

                                        I expect the price to be 3 to 5 times of the normal s23

                                          3 of 5
