The World's 
Most Secure Android phone

Ensuring security right from the start.

Every BlackBerry Android smartphone contains unique security keys which verify the authenticity of the device every time they connect to the internet. This ensures that your device is authentic and tamperproof. BlackBerry not only uses the latest version of Android but enhances the operating system with numerous configuration changes to strengthen the security.

BlackBerry’s Android devices also use US government-grade encryption (FIPS 140-2 full disk encryption) to protect your private information like personal pictures or banking info, if your phone is lost or stolen.

The secure boot process ensures that only a BlackBerry signed OS can be loaded and that the OS hasn’t been tampered with. Each stage of the secure boot process verifies that the next component hasn’t been tampered with before loading it. Once upgraded to a new Android version, BlackBerry ensures that the user cannot downgrade to an older version.

The latest Android version and security updates for life.

Nearly 90% of Android devices are exposed to critical vulnerabilities due to slow patching. Device manufacturers take months or even years (or sometimes, the device is just abandoned) to release security updates. Not BlackBerry. Their Android smartphones is not likely to be on the abandoned list. This is simply because BlackBerry has introduced a new 30-day patching protocol, which is designed to address Android vulnerabilities quickly. This functions alongside Android’s 30-day vulnerability disclosure schedule.

In fact, BlackBerry is the first OEM to deliver patches in line with Google’s public disclosure, closing the window of vulnerability exposure to customers.

For instance, on 7th August 2016, Checkpoint announced that 900 million Android smartphones have vulnerabilities due to Qualcomm chipsets which give attackers access to capabilities such as keylogging, GPS tracking, recording video and audio while granting unrestricted access to sensitive personal data. Within 10 days, BlackBerry released the software update and was the first OEM to fix the Quadrooter. All StarHub customers with a PRIV will get the software update over-the-air.

No more trading privacy for free apps.

Nearly 30% of mobile apps steal and sell your contacts, messages, photos, or browsing history to parties ranging from aggressive advertisers to cybercriminal. We live in a world where everything is interconnected, so controlling what’s shared and with whom is a challenge. BlackBerry’s Android smartphones come with a visual tool called DTEK which helps you to monitor, control and track the overall security of the device. You can take charge of your security settings and enhance device security through features such as anti-theft protection, integrity protection, password protection, and remote device management.

The tool also tracks your applications and notifies you when someone is taking pictures or videos without your knowledge, turning your microphone on, sending a text message, or accessing your contacts or location.

The power of BlackBerry is now on Android.

With BlackBerry, you don’t just get the most secure Android phone in the world, but also its suite of preloaded BlackBerry productivity apps such as BBM, Password Keeper, Hub, Contacts and Calendar among others.

With a BlackBerry smartphone running Android, you have the superior privacy and security you’ve come to expect from BlackBerry with the flexibility of Android’s ecosystem and apps.
