Blackphone Protects Your Privacy

Posted on the 24 January 2014 by Anna Peterson

Blackphone will ensure that you have privacy in all aspects of communication.

Silent Circle (an encrypted communications firm) and Geeksphone (a Spanish mobile manufacturer) have teamed up to create a phone that will give you full control over your privacy – Blackphone.

The companies claim that this super-secure phone allows you to make and receive phone calls, exchange data, transfer and store files and video chat without the “Big Brother” watching you; that is, in complete privacy.

Details about Blackphone are still unknown, but its creators say that it is powered by a customized, security-focused version of Android, called PrivateOS and that it will have a “top performing” processor. In order to keep communications entirely secure, both the sender and the recipient would need to use encrypted clients and devices.

Pre-orders will begin on the same day Blackphone debuts, which is February 24 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Pricing details are currently unavailable.
