Is your smartphone that secure you really want it to be like? Well, a team up between Geeksphone and Silent Circle have resulted in creation of a highly secure smartphone and OS database, named Blackphone.
The new handset will run PrivatOS, a custom developed operating system with much higher security based on Google's own Android, where it is said to be the world's first smartphone that prioritizes user privacy and control. Blackphone will allow you to make and receive secure phone calls, exchange secure texts, exchange and store secure files, have secure video chat, browse privately and anonymize any activity on the phone with a totally secure custom VPN. Accordingly as said in their domain, the device will be sold unlocked that'll work on any GSM carrier and the phone will show great scores in benchmarks when compared to any other high-end smartphones in the market.
Unfortunately, the unit's internal specification listings are not yet reveled, nor the info regarding it's availability and pricing, but the new solid and shielded smartphone will come in attendance of the public at next month's Mobile World Congress expo that'll be held in Barcelona, Spain as promised by both the companies.
“Blackphone provides users with everything they need to ensure privacy and control of their communications, along with all the other high-end smartphone features they have come to expect,” quoted Phil Zimmermann, Co-Founder &President of Silent Circle and creator of PGP & Zfone.
