Kaspersky announced the creation of the new smartphones with protection from hackers

A smartphone with a secure Kaspersky will have minimal functionality, said the head of Kaspersky Lab, Eugene Kaspersky. According to him, it will have its own basic applications and browser, but the smartphone has other tasks, it’s security.

“There will be minimal functionality, but don’t wait for beauty, both Android and iOS, this smartphone will perform other special tasks,” said Mr. Kaspersky. “The device can call and send SMS, of course, there will be an office suite, its own browser with minimal functionality and a standard set of applications, such as an alarm clock, calculator, and so on,” added he.

So far, Kaspersky Lab does not plan to have an App store on its OS, but this is possible in the future. “Most likely, first we will make our own, and then we will be ready to attract other app stores,” said Eugene Kaspersky.

At the same time, he said that smartphones on the Kaspersky operating system may appear next year. The company agreed with a Chinese smartphone manufacturer to install a new OS. 

He noted that the company does not plan to enter the platforms Google and Apple and try to replace them. “Our task is to create a secure phone that is almost impossible to hack, for processing secret and confidential information of both government officials and enterprises, and infrastructure management,” said the head of Kaspersky Lab.

It’s interesting to note that Kaspersky Lab has been creating an operating system designed for maximum protection of equipment and operating on the principle of “everything is forbidden that is not allowed” for several years.
