The product is a fusion of the world’s most secure smartphone with BlackBerry’s enterprise management solutions to produce a powerful device capable of powering any work day.

BlackBerry’s Android smartphones, including DTEK50 and PRIV, have unique built-in hardware security. DTEK50 encrypts all users’ information, including business critical data and personal data such as pictures, videos and contacts. Malware protection is also built-in along with back-up, wipe and restore capabilities. Additional software provides users with visibility and control over which apps get access to personal info or device features such as the microphone or camera.
BlackBerry also delivers security patches on the same day that Google publicly releases information about them, while many popular Android smartphones put the users’ private information at risk of being hacked due to slow security updates.
