Blackphone unveils a new phone and tablet running secure, encrypted Android

At Mobile World Congress, the encrypted phone system Blackphone announced a new phone and tablet, along with a new business focus on enterprise. The phone is called the Blackphone 2, a successor to the first Blackphone shown at MWC last year, but adds a new processor, better screen, and a larger profile overall. The tablet, called the Blackphone+, is slated for release in the fall. Both run Blackphone’s secure OS, forked off of Android, which is designed to protect metadata and provide end-to-end encryption throughout.
