The Blackphone is a super-secure Android-enhanced smartphone presented at the MWC 2014, it protects your data and gives you a lot of security from consumer profiling.
With the NSA and other news of spying circling the internet, it's making more of us give security and the protection of our personal data a second and deeper thought. It’s with this matter in the forefront that Silent Circle came up with an innovative and clever plan to counter this rising concern: the Blackphone, one of the most interesting smartphones presented at the MWC this year. We were able to shoot a short hands-on video of the high-security smartphone.
For the price of 629 USD, pre-ordering already available, this phone is intended for those who want to ensure their data is private and secure at all times. Based on Android, Blackphone’s security focus is manifested with many pre-installed apps and an intelligent WiFi manager.
Thanks to the PrivatOS Enhancement as opposed to your standard Android OS, search is anonymous, you are provided with safe communication tools for private calls, texts, video chat, file exchange, browsing and conference calls. Remote wipe and anti-theft components are anyonmous and each software update is secure, coming from Blackphone directly.
In the Blackphone Security Center, users are able to choose which apps get which rights and can isolate certain data types on the smartphone from being exposed to the internet, like contacts in your phone book for example. The clever WiFi manager also prohibits businesses from gaining access to user location and consumer profiles.
Check out the hands-on video below to take a closer peek:
