News: Google Names BlackBerry PRIV as One of the Most Secure Android Phones
Google released its "Android Security: 2016 Year in Review" report last month, and to no one's surprise, included its own flagship phones. However, one surprise on the list was the BlackBerry PRIV, which Google named one of the best Android devices for privacy.The PRIV was BlackBerry's first phone to run Android, and with little experience on the platform, was seen in Google's eyes as a leader for smartphone privacy.Several manufacturers, including Samsung, LG, BlackBerry, and OnePlus, regularly deliver security updates to flagship devices on the same day as Google's updates to Nexus and Pixel devices, thereby providing their customers with the most up-to-date security available.

Specifically, it mentioned the quick response of the BlackBerry team to the Dirty COW zero-day exploit. And these are only a handful of the features that got the PRIV on our list of the best phones for privacy and security.BlackBerry's first Android phone is one of the best for those concerned about privacy.
