The Smartphone Even The NSA May Have Trouble Hacking Is Coming Soon

If you’re worried about the NSA listening in on your smartphone, Silent Circle’s “Blackphone” may be the last best hope.

First announced in January, the Android-based phone goes on sale before the start of July for $629, according to NBC News.

While the price is a bit hefty, it comes with impressive features, including fully encrypted voice, text, and video calls, and a virtual private network that anonymizes web surfing — all built on a custom version of Android. While demand for such a device certainly ramped up after Edward Snowden began leaking top-secret documents detailing NSA surveillance programs, Silent Circle had been working on the device for long before.
