Finally, the ultimate weapon in smartphone warfare - now, let's see if it can withstand a clumsy drop test during a top-secret mission!

    It's good that there's no Exynos.

      what about s23 ultra tactical edition, dear samsung? a soldier on the battlefield wearing gloves and operating under high pressure has no time to take aim at the display with his fingers in order to hit that one small button. a soldier needs a large display and not iphone se- like experience.

        IpsDisplay, 21 Sep 2023No bullet proof ip rating No war damage warranty No BUY!Welp, it would be a no buy for almost everyone except the military...

          even they had Tactical Edition for Galaxy S23 and XCover6 Pro, can't beat to Nokia 3310. Nokia 3310 is still the best durable phone ever

            They aren't active versions, just the same phones with extra software features. Sad

              Anonymous, 21 Sep 2023No headphone jack and microSD and removable battery yet &qu... morethat wouldn't allow water resistance upto 5 meters (although I expected higher than 5 meters for MILITARY phone whereas iphones have that upto 4 meters already)

                Dr. Watson, 21 Sep 2023Do you think the military gives a piss about SD cards?Don't know but if you want to transport and hide sensible data I think swallowing a micro SD card would be easier than a 6.1" sized smartphone....
                Also having a removable storage makes it easier to compute that data. You just have to hand over the SD card and not the whole smartphone.

                  Dr. Watson, 21 Sep 2023These phones are pretty much made FOR the military with all... moreYeah but, for a change I can buy something like this. If only it's available

                    Buy a Panasonic TOUGHBOOK.
                    It is the only one you can trust. All right?

                      IpsDisplay, 21 Sep 2023No bullet proof ip rating No war damage warranty No BUY!You won't be able to buy it

                          L.O.R.D, 21 Sep 2023Why not available to everyone else 💀These phones are pretty much made FOR the military with all of these extra features and the build in general. They probably wouldn't want to let these into the hands of regular customers.

                            Just get Samsung Convoy

                              [deleted post]I don't think so, both Koreas are mascots of the USA... they are not going to ban anything.

                                Why not available to everyone else 💀

                                  Does the armed forces of a country really use consumer telecommunications devices of a foreign country?

                                  Can't see that the US, China, Russia, Japan, France, Israel....are equipping their field soldiers with rugged Galaxy S23....

                                  Is someone in the comment section serving the military and tell something about the telecom devices they are using? Always thought they were using special devices and not enhanced consumer electronics.
