Ah, an ad for a phone the average person can't buy. No seriously, I tried to find a way to buy it and it looks like the only way to do it is contact Samsung's sales on behalf of a company. Why bother posting this here if it's about a phone that's completely out of reach for basically everyone not in the military?
Why not, post something here that's like you say pretty niche and generates discussion about it?
If it wasn't posted here I wouldn't have heard about it and why I subscribe to such places for news on these devices.
True, I'm just confused I guess. The article feels consumer-facing, but the consumer can't buy one of them, so what's the point of the article?
If I had to guess, they died out in the consumer market when a lot of their unique features got baked into normal phones (water resistance, etc). A thick case and a heavy duty screen protector could get you the rest of the way which is probably good enough for 95% of their consumer sales.
My friend (HVAC technician) loved his S6 Active but is getting by fine with his S21+protection accessories
I miss my s8 active
That might have been what he actually had, not the 6
Well, I am unsure in this partical case but XCover phones are available in Europe for everyone and can be bought from online stores.
Xcover, sure, but not the Tactical Edition, right? These phones have extra radio hardware to support connections to things like night vision googles etc.
