Blackberry DTEK50; the solution to Android security problems?

BlackBerry has made a play for
security-conscious Android users with the
announcement of its new DTEK50.
Running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and
BlackBerry security software, the new unit is the
"most secure Android smartphone" in the world,
the company claimed.
Among the DTEK50's security features:
*rapid patching for quick delivery of security
updates;
*DTEK software for monitoring a phone's
operating system and applications, and to alert a
user whose privacy is at risk;
*Hardware Root of Trust, which allows security
to be baked into a device at the manufacturing
stage;
*Secure boot process that monitors each stage
of a phone's startup to ensure none of the
components in that process have been tampered
with;
*Android hardening to prevent an attack on a
phone by scrambling an application's system
memory;
*And full disk encryption.
Who Cares About Security?
"With an increase in cybercrime on smartphones,
people need to recognize that the private details
of their lives -- where they live, their bank info,
pictures of their kids -- are at risk on their
personal device,".
"You wouldn't leave the doors of your house
unlocked at night. Having a smartphone that
doesn't take your privacy seriously is the
equivalent,".  "It's equally
important for businesses to protect their
sensitive data from cyberattacks at all points of
their mobile environment -- from the device to
the network and servers."

Apart from its security extras, the DTEK50 has a
5.2-inch HD display, supports SD cards with up to
2 terabytes of storage, and has two cameras --
an 8-MP front facing shooter and a 13-MP rear
facing unit with phase-detection autofocus and a
dual-tone LED flash.
BlackBerry on Tuesday began accepting DTEK50
preorders at its online store. It sells for US$299,
and through Aug. 8, anyone buying the phone
there will receive a complementary BlackBerry
Mobile Power Pack.
