BlackPhone BP2 hands-on: The next step in mobile security, sort of

2015-03-20
at a time when security has become the next big thing in mobile silent circle has tried to solve certain assassin ease with its niche black phone bp1 back at MWC 2014 fast forward to this year and the company is at it again with two products sort of I'm home it'll be better with parking now and let's have a quick and limited look at the brand new black bone VP 2 now disclaimer guys just like we couldn't turn on the black phone VP 1 during our hands-on video last year because it was using pre-production software this year's black phone VP 2 has taken another step back as the device on displays aren't really ready to do anything but show as a demo now not everything is negative black vote is acquired the partnership that it had with geek phone last year so the cheap looking finish of the black phone BP one there's no more the new black phone VP 2 sports a more refined glass on glass design that should be more appealing to the enterprise users at targets with a very elegant metallic finish on the sides the design continues to be obviously black and these tethered units were actually intentional as the logo on the back is not yet final the black phone VP 2 also receives a spec bump and a lot of the things that we complained about last year we receive a qualcomm snapdragon octa-core processor of undisclosed the clock speeds and apparently it is a 64-bit processor but we can't really confirm that yet it supports a 5.5 inch 1080p IPS display three gigs of ram 32 gigs of expandable storage and a 13 megapixel camera at the back with a 5 megapixel front firing shooter it also has a 3060 milliamp hour battery in addition to Gorilla Glass 3 on the front and back the phone will run on private OS 1.1 which sadly doesn't seem to be based on Android 5.0 lollipop at least on this first generation unit that they used to show this off the changes in the OS don't really seem substantial to what we saw on our black phone bp1 review a few months back but the black phone team did spend a good amount of time showing us just how cool this new silent spaces feature is now you have the option to switch between the private UI that's full of all the security burdens that you can think of or set up a private profile that doesn't really require all this hassle and even cooler is that you'll notice that it takes no time to switch between one profile and the other even though you will be required to have a password for the security profile which makes sense the one product we wish we could have shown you is sadly not here which is the black phone plus the company's tablet I guess we'll just have to wait for these products to be ready in the summer and show them off to you and our full review for now this has been hi never better with pocket now make sure you follow us on social media subscribe to our youtube channel as well you didn't follow me on Twitter hi underscore Tori better please give this video thumbs up if you liked what you saw again I'm Jaime over there thank you very much for watching we'll see you on the next video
