Samsung Electronics unveiled two new tactical smartphones, ‘Tactical Edition’ (TE), for the U.S. Department of Defense. This military edition was specially produced by incorporating durability and tactical features into the Galaxy S23 and X Cover models.
Samsung Electronics’ US newsroom announced on the 23rd that “Galaxy S23 TE and X Cover Pro TE models will be sold in the United States starting today.” However, as it was developed for military use, it is not sold to general consumers.

According to Newsroom, these models received the highest rating of IP68 for dust and water resistance. IP68 is the level at which the mobile phone operates normally even if submerged in 1.5m of water for 30 minutes. It can also be connected to tactical radios, drone feeds, laser range finders, external GPS, etc. For security purposes, a ‘stealth mode’ that blocks wireless signals was also introduced. They all weigh 8.5 ounces (240 grams), which is relatively light. “(This TE model) is as powerful as the rugged laptops that tactical teams traditionally use, weighing several pounds, but is lightweight and compact,” the newsroom said. “This allows soldiers to reduce their load and carry things like ammunition, medical supplies, food or water.” “We can redistribute weight to mission essentials.”
In particular, the X Cover Pro TE focuses on durability. It is designed to withstand extreme altitude, temperature, vibration, and humidity in accordance with U.S. Department of Defense standards, and is said to be able to withstand falls from a height of up to 1.5 meters. To prevent discharge during missions, the battery use time has been increased and it can be replaced. It also supports ‘glove mode’, which allows you to use the touch screen while wearing gloves.
