#secure android

Blackphone, the Android-powered smartphone that boasts security and privacy as its top features, was rooted at the DEF CON Hacking Conference in just five minutes. If you're reading about the Blackphone for the first time, it's a Tegra 4i-powered smartphone that runs PrivatOS - a security-focused mobile OS based on Android KitKat. But after this root incident, it kinda makes you wonder if Android, or any mobile platform, will ever be totally "secure". Google has just announced a new version of Android 12 that is catered to larger screen sizes called, Android 12L. Android 12L will focus on tablets, foldables, and ChromeOS devices. The new android version also introduces a new taskbar that allows users to switch between different apps. Android 12L is set to release in early 2022, but the new features are now available on the 12L developer preview page. All you have to do is download the Android 12L emulator to get started.
