Africa’s Phone Users has Hit 700 Million.Mobile phone subscriptions which is now almost eight times higher in Africa than in 2000, according to a report by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Mobile technology has played a crucial role in promoting financial inclusion in sub-Saharan Africa, where less than 20 per cent of households have access to formal financial services.
Regulatory reforms and liberalisation have also benefited local
mobile operators, with countries such as Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania
having more than five local operators.
Delivering the best its
privacy and productivity to the largest App Eco-system, the Canadian
phone maker, BlackBerry Limited has introduced into the Nigerian market
BlackBerry PRIV secure , the first-ever BlackBerry smartphone powered by
Android.
While PRIV will provide a choice in operating system to new and existing
customers, the phone maker said that it remains committed to the
BlackBerry 10 operating system, and will continue to release platform
updates focused on security and privacy enhancements.
Combining the best of BlackBerry’s productivity, security and privacy
features with the wide world of Google Play store apps, PRIV is the
epitome of form and function.
The smart device , according to the phone maker has been engineered with
the world’s finest technology and packaged in an ultra-thin device
including a dual-curved screen, touch and physical keyboards,
state-of-the-art 18MP camera, and long-lasting battery – with unique
tools that allow users to manage and control their privacy.
New standard for the slider form factor
As part of BlackBerry’s cross-platform strategy to provide a greater
choice of secure solutions to its customers, with the product, users
will see a seamless merging of key BlackBerry 10 productivity features
like the BlackBerry Hub and BlackBerry Calendar into PRIV. Additional
key features include:
Full Android App and Ecosystem experience
The device brings incredible new features to the Android platform and
gives users full access to over one million applications: whether it’s
Instagram, Spotify, Uber or BBM , you’ll find it on Google PlayTM.
Keyboards
The smart device offers the freedom to choose between a virtual keyboard
or a physical keyboard for speed and accuracy.
Tough and beautiful screen
A stunning 5.4-inch immersive dual-curve OLED display offers plenty of
room to work or play with rich colors, deep black levels and less power
consumption.
At a resolution of 2560×1440, it sports an incredible pixel density of
540 PPI – 4x the amount of pixels of a standard HDTV. Along the screen’s
curved edge is the Productivity Tab that provides an “at a glance” view
of the most pertinent info from BlackBerry Hub, Calendar, Task, and
Contacts.
Battery life
PRIV has a 3410 mAh battery with enough power to work up to 22.5
straight hours of mixed usage*.
Camera
Engineered to deliver professional looking photos with minimal effort,
an 18MP camera, certified by Schneider-Kreuznach , integrates
technologies commonly found in DSLR cameras.
Performance and expandable storage
PRIV is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, a premium-tier
chipset designed to offer consumers a superior and compelling user
experience along with peace of mind with Qualcomm SecureMSM technology
and Qualcomm Snapdragon StudioAccess content protection.
Plus, with 32 GB of onboard storage and support for micro SD cards up to
2TB, the new PRIV gives users the flexibility to add affordable and
hot-swappable storage to download, install, capture and share as their
needs evolve.
Natural sound
PRIV comes with powerful speakers and a three-microphone system that
delivers a high-quality listening experience.
BlackBerry natural sound technology is built in to adapt Wi-Fi and
cellular call sound depending upon phone position and background noise,
automatically adjusting volume so users don’t have to.
Android for work
PRIV comes ready for work. Android for Work support allows for fast,
simple and secure integration with the enterprise environment. Seamless
integration with Google Play for Work enables easy access to IT-managed
apps.
Security and privacy
PRIV was designed with security at its core, building on BlackBerry’s
legacy of security and keeping private its customers’ data. Security
highlights include:
Advanced privacy controls
The exclusive DTEK by BlackBerry app for Android monitors and reports on
application access to the microphone, camera, location and personal
information, enabling users to be confident that their personal data is
being kept private. Users can know at a glance when their privacy could
be at risk so they can take action to improve it.
Secure hardware
BlackBerry’s hardware root of trust, a unique manufacturing process,
injects cryptographic keys into the device hardware, providing a secure
foundation for the entire platform.
Verified boot and secure bootchain
Keys have been embedded to verify every layer of the device from
hardware to OS to applications in order to make sure they haven’t been
tampered with. Additionally, thousands of modifications were made to
harden the Linux kernel with numerous patches and configuration changes
to improve security.
Fully supported on BlackBerry’s EMM solution
PRIV can be integrated with our leading EMM solution, BES 12, which
offers cross-platform management of PRIV and other devices; providing a
full end to end security solution and secure collaboration applications
for business users like Secusuite for secure voice and WatchDox for
secure file sharing.
