So, as a Brazilian I've never heard about this company before. Granted, they didn't have any obligation to be well-known here but I'm surprised they even exist and are launching this product. The company was even supposedly founded by some people from my city (Curitiba). Some more info from local news (in Portuguese): They believe that being a Brazilian company will help to market the product after the whole Snowden thing, and also promise the phone to have 100% "national technology" inside even though at least one of the two models runs Android with an extra layer of security created by them. They are part of Ciberbras, although their website returns 404... take this as you will. There are other sources of news about them in the Brazilian media but they're mostly variations of each other, probably press releases (some dating back to February 2015). Apparently they're targeting government agencies, not standard consumer markets and have got at least once "big" contract to sell these secure phones to police departments.
