BlackBerry just announced DTEK50, which it claims to be the world’s most secure smartphone. It encrypts all users’ information, including business critical data and personal data and is FIPS 140-2 Compliant. It also has Malware protection along with back-up wipe and restore capabilities.
The software provides users with visibility and control over which apps get access to personal info or device features such as the microphone or camera. DTEK by BlackBerry app enables users to automatically monitor their OS and apps to know when their privacy could be at risk and to take action to improve it.
It has Secure Boot Process so each stage of DTEK50’s secure boot chain must first verify that the next component is fully intact before proceeding, ensuring your device has not been tampered with since the last restart.
In terms of specs, it shares similar specifications as the Alcatel Idol 4 that was introduced earlier this year.
