Sikur launches high-security phones based on Sony hardware
Sikur garnered attention with its reportedly hack-resistant GranitePhone back in 2015, but the follow-up has been a long time in coming -- it only just announced a follow-up in February. The sequels are here, however, and they'll look more than a little familiar. The company has started shipping the SIKURPhone XZ1 and SIKURPhone XA2, both of which run SikurOS (a hardened version of Android) on top of existing Sony hardware. Either device promises "several layers" of security, including a carefully-vetted app store (due to launch by the end of 2018) and a cryptocurrency wallet -- it's just running on branded third-party hardware.
Sony's mid-range Xperia XA2 and XA2 Ultra are still all about the cameras
CES hasn't been much of a smartphone show in recent years, but don't tell Sony that. Rather than save the goods for Mobile World Congress, the company decided to reveal a trio of new Xperias meant to spice up its existing line of mid-range devices before the show officially kicks off.
