Samsung has surprised us with the launch of a new model of the S20 family, which is a decal of the S20, at least in terms of technical specifications, because its appearance is different because it is a phone designed for the sector military.
Of course, we are talking about the version for the United States, so we do not have an Exynos 990 processor, but a Snapdragon 865.
Hold on whatever
The phone comes with a special case that protects the equipment in the most extreme conditions, and it also has large physical buttons that will be easy to press for soldiers when they carry gloves and other items in their hands.
However, not only will we find physical differences from the S20, but also the South Korean firm has included some interesting software features that at some point we would like to see on the company’s “normal” phones.
The first of them is the possibility of unlocking the phone when it is horizontal since most of its use will be in this position, we have a night vision mode that allows you to use the phone screen when the military uses night-vision goggles So the light will not blind them when viewing directly to the phone.
We also have a “stealth mode” which is a kind of advanced airplane mode that disables communications outside the network. DeX mode is still present and will allow the military to submit reports, mission plans, and more.
Security is also an important issue, which is why we continue to have the Knox system alongside DualDAR encryption, which meets NSA requirements to ensure maximum data protection.
Not suitable for all audiences
Although Samsung has not revealed the price of this device, it has mentioned that it will only be sold to government and military partners in the next quarter of the year, although it has also not made clear if it will only be for the United States, or if it will be offered to other organizations. countries in Europe and in his native South Korea.
