Say no to iPhone: Here’s why US soldiers use Samsung Galaxy S23

The United States of America is often called the country of heaven. It’s named so because the US annual defense budget amounts to $766 billion. As such, the ‘class’ of the equipment used by the US military is different. Do you know that US soldiers use Samsung Galaxy S23 instead of iPhone on the battlefield?

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.

It is basically made to be strong enough to be used on the battlefield.

It can withstand extreme temperatures, vibration, and humidity. There is no damage even if dropped from a height of 1.5m, and it is certified as IP68, the highest rating for dust and water resistance (up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5m).
