Sirin V3 offers top level security and privacy for $2650

In the modern world, our digital lifestyles have allowed us to basically link all aspects of our day to day functions from banking to browsing to devices we trust the most - our smartphones. Although most top tier manufacturers offer out-of the box security in the form of dedicated authenticators and system security, a small percentage of people may require the need for something better- something more secure, to address this , several smartphone companies have been set up to create new "hardedned" smartphones with software firewalls and special security systems while others build upon existing platforms - modifying the software in order to meet its requirements. The new Sirin V3, by Sirin Labs is one such example of an existing smartphone modified to meet higher levels of security. The device, built upon an existing Samsung Galaxy S21 (So you still get the same 6.2" 1080x2400 SAmoled display and either a selection of Exynos 2100/Snapdragon 888 SOC , 8GB RAM and 128GB storage and the three cameras - 12mp wide,12mp ultrawide and 64mp telephoto). The phone runs on Android 11 just like the Standard Galaxy S21, but its similarities end there as the software has been heavily tweaked with options such as installing third party software and software brute forcing on boot disabled (including bootloading) and features encryption for calls and messages.

The phone also has disabled third party apps from being installed and therefore apps from Google play are only allowed. This combined with the privacy mode which allows Personal mode for standard mobile operations while a Workspace offers a locked down "sandbox" for all apps to run in. The phone also comes with Samsung's Knox security suite for a period of 3 years FOC with the phone as well. The phone is said to be priced at $2650 and is available through Sirin's web store.

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
