The Blackphone 2 can encrypt everything from your selfies to voice calls - and make it impossible to track.
The phone runs on the encrypted SilentOS on Android plus Silent Suite apps capable of keeping your files including private video and voice calls, texts and app store secret. Blackphone 2 lets you make calls and send texts that are impossible to eavesdrop on or track and are simple and less complex for the average user to use.
Blackphone's Android-based devices are built by Spanish manufacturer GeeksPhone alongside security experts Silent Circle and Pretty Good Privacy (PGP).
They run a special, heavily modified version of Android - and even come with their own app store for secure software.
BLACKPHONE 2 SPECS
Octa-core Qualcomm processor,
Removeable Micro SD card
5.5' Gorilla Glass 1920x1080 display
13-megapixel camera
The 5.5inch screen is clear and sharp, while it feels extremely well made.
However, once it's switched on, it becomes clear that the work Silent circle has done touches every aspect of the handset.
Even entering a PIN has been made more secure, with the keypad being randomised so hackers can's simply look for smudges on keys.
At the heart of the phone is the in-built Security Center that enables the user to easily manage their privacy and security settings in one place.
The user can control and fine-tune the individual app permissions and the data the apps have access to.
It's surprisingly simple to use.
The Blackphone 2 also comes with a remote wipe setting should the phone be lost or stolen.
Through Silent OS' 'Spaces' function, Blackphone 2 also provides users with the ability to build separate, secure environments for their critical business data, personal information and even social applications within the same device.
SilentOS, which requires its own space, is the can even runentirely without google services.
In use, its very simple - and swapping between different spaces is seamless and fast.
There's even an app store for apps the firm has approved.
If security is a major concern, then there is no simpler way to ensure privacy - while technically the handset's features are incredibly advanced, Silent Circle has done a superb job of making them easy enough for anyone to use.
