The Blackphone, billed as the most secure smartphone in the world, will be available locally from next month.

Kenya will be the first country in Africa to get the phone after its debut in Europe, Middle East and the US in July this year.

The phone will retail at over Sh80,000, a price that will include insurance for the device. Blackphone is targeting individuals who demand greater privacy and companies worried about their corporate security.

The device joins BlackBerry as one of the most secure phones in the market.

Blackphone is the brainchild of former US Navy SEAL and security expert Mike Janke and his business partner Phil Zimmermann, a data encryption specialist.

In this digital age where smartphones have become a way of life and tools of trade, with apps trying to access your private info and everyone else striving to know what you think, people have traded their privacy for convenience,” Mr Lang said.
