SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired) - Africa's leading mobile device maker TECNO Mobile has partnered with Trustlook, a next generation mobile security company. All new TECNO Phantom 6 and Phantom 6 Plus mobile phones are now pre-installed with the Trustlook Mobile Security and Antivirus Pro app. This gives TECNO Mobile customers the opportunity to benefit from Trustlook's advanced malware detection engine.

Over the last decade, TECNO mobile has dominated the African mobile market to become one of the most sought after mobile brands in the region. Consistently producing high-end smartphone devices, these latest additions to the TECNO Phantom series -- the Phantom 6 and Phantom 6 Plus are no exception. The Phantom 6 Plus even offers TECNO Mobile's first tri-fold security combination (fingerprint, eye scanner and Trustlook Mobile Security behavioral protection).

"We're excited to partner with Trustlook to bring enhanced security to TECNO Phantom users," said TECNO global marketing lead, Vane Ni. "Trustlook is the leader in mobile security, and they are uniquely equipped to address the mobile security concerns of our users."

The demand for mobile threat protection has never been stronger. In the second quarter of this year there were 594,703 different malware strains discovered, which is a 52 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The number is expected to grow significantly throughout the rest of 2016.

"We are thrilled that TECNO is using our next-generation behavior based sandbox technologies to protect their users' mobile behavior," said Allan Zhang, founder and CEO of Trustlook. "This partnership is also a huge step in Trustlook's commitment to becoming the largest mobile security provider in Africa."

Trustlook's technology protects more than 300M users globally through its integration with leading apps and downloadable security offerings. Trustlook's technology significantly reduces the threat vulnerability window through advanced machine learning and behavioral analysis. Trustlook Mobile Security and Antivirus Pro is available for purchase from Google Play.

This is amazing news. Improving user security is key too. And Tecno mobile is doing their best to make sure their users are top priorities and protected.

More partnerships, this guys are on a roll. Mobile security is key in this age and time, you wouldn't want data stored in your phone to get in the wrong hands.

This is really good news. Phones need to be very secured

Good try. Android remains vulnerable to threats anyway

I like that Tecno is conscious of happenings

Honestly I'm just happy that tecno uses the android platform.

Amazing development

Is it app? Becos I can't see it in my Boom J7.

I doubt its in your Boom J7. Maybe later it will be there through updates. But this is starting from the newly released Tecno phantom 6 and 6+ and subsequently.

What other platform out there could they possibly use? And don't say Windows mobile.

Couldn't agree more.
Securing our smartphones frm malware is important especially those of us that do not only download apps from the playstore alone.

This is really good to hear. More reasons for me to pick the phantom phone. I've been saving up.

Lool, that's the other platform I thought of. Android platform is just so easy to use. And it's better for tecno really.

Yes And it's a good thing too. Securing the phones against malware and other threats is important.

I read somewhere that they have a partnership with Sony. good for them.

Well I haven't noticed these threats you speak of but I think the Trustlook Security is a good one. From what I've read thus far they are quite reliable. Tecno partnering with the best

Too much security can be a bad thing tho, I remember a phone I used to use and I locked it with pattern, so anyone that doesn't know the pattern and tries it 10 Times, gets access to my phone cause it then unlocks but wipes the entire memory. Hoping this one isn't like that tho

It's also a good read on the launch that was held last month. Good for Tecno tho

No I doubt this is about locking the phone, it's an antivirus, against well virus

Errrr it's actually more than an antivirus. I don't see why Tecno would partner with just "antivirus people", has to offer so much more and Trustlook does

The link provided is not on the topic bro. Check it well.

I don't know why but for some reason, the link changes whenever I post it. I'm trying to put up a post from 360nobs. It covered the launch in Dubai and they mentioned the partnership with SONY.

Niceeee! How does the antitheft work? Stop people from stealing the Phantom 6?

Lol you wish. It actually does lock and wipe the phone if it gets stolen and the thief fails to unlock the Phantom

Ehn as Police man that the phone is na After reading up on it, I've discovered that it actually has very nice features. While you can scan your phone without registering/signing up, to enjoy the other cool stuffs like the Anti-theft, you have to register.

Sony used to make some pretty nice phones way back.

One thing I see Sony bringing to the table is their wealth of experience, and combining this with the momentum that Tecno is currently gathering will be a recipe for sucessful launch of more sleeker and powerful Tecno phones next year and beyond.

It's a brilliant move getting an experienced ally on one's side.

Yes and you can monitor some of your phone's activities on mytrustlook.com if you're registered sha
