Samsung has announced two new smartphone models designed specifically for the military. The company has launched the new Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition and Galaxy XCover 6 Pro Tactical Edition, which are military-ready and built to withstand harsh environments.

Previously, the South Korean technology giant announced the Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition, which had great success. This is probably due to high specs and reliable build quality that can withstand harsh conditions. The company’s device “supports thousands of DoD staff across all service branches and has proven itself in a wide variety of tasks and environments.” According to official reports, the latest Galaxy S23 and Galaxy XCover 6 Pro Tactical Edition will not be sold to mass consumers.

Instead, it is expected to reach the US government and military personnel later this year. According to a well-known forecaster AnthonyThe new smartphones will offer several new features, such as the Android Team Awareness Kit, Battlefield Assisted Trauma Distributed Observation Kit, Samsung Knox & Knox Dual Data at Rest, and a military-grade protective sleeve that can be worn on the chest. Talking about the specs of the device, the two devices come with different notable features like night vision mode, stealth mode and more.

The XCover 6 Pro has been tested according to the MIL-STD-810H standard and during a 1.5 meter drop. It also has IP68 water and dust protection and a removable battery for quick battery replacement on the go. On the other hand, Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition is equipped with high resolution cameras for advanced photo and video capture. It also packs high-end flagship features like AMOLED displays with 120Hz dynamic refresh rate and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, despite its military-grade build.
