“Tough phone aiming to supply the US Department of Defense” Galaxy S20 TE

The Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition (Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition) is a military-only smartphone that Samsung Electronics made available on the battlefield on May 20 (local time) to meet the demands of the US federal government and the Department of Defense.

Speaking of military smartphones, Caterpillar’s CAT S series and Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Active are well known. However, these products satisfy the US military procurement standard MIL-STD-810G, but are not intended to be delivered to the US Department of Defense. Its purpose is to appeal to the end that it guarantees such strong and solid quality.

In contrast, the Galaxy S20 TE is intended for delivery to the US Department of Defense. For this reason, it is not necessary for general use, but when using at night, it is possible to switch the screen on and off so that the display light does not interfere, stealth mode LTE communication, and complete off-grid realization through muting all RF broadcasts. It can also be connected to a tactical radio or mission system and protects the device with double encryption even when the power is off. Not only that, you can easily unlock it even when it’s mounted horizontally on your chest, and you can run frequently used apps just by pressing a button.

This product also emphasizes the ability to create a report inside the vehicle or at the base using the Samsung DeX, which connects a smartphone to a display and uses it like a PC.

The basic hardware specifications are the same as the general Galaxy S20. Equipped with a 6.2-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, RAM 12GB, storage space 128GB, and a 4,000mAh battery. It was packed in a sturdy case, but the hardware is almost unchanged. It is said that this product will be released from the third quarter through some channels.
