Reviewing the new security features on VOS 3.0, the steps for Vsmart smartphone 'super security' will be released in the near future?
In the past week, VinSmart has released VOS 3.0 Beta update for some of its smartphones such as Live, Joy 2+ or Joy 3. This is a huge update for Vsmart smartphones with a makeover and Some new features.

However, there is another aspect that VOS 3.0 is particularly focused on, which is security. In this article, we will review the security features that VinSmart has integrated on VOS 3.0.Note: Because this is only the first beta, so the feature may be changed on the official version.
App Lock: Lock & hide apps
The feature expected by many Vsmart users is now officially available on VOS 3.0. The "App Lock" application built in VOS 3.0 allows users to restrict access to sensitive applications (such as messages, photos or any other specified applications) through password request / pin / pattern / fingerprint.

In addition, users also have the option to hide notifications from locked applications, or clear application data after 10 unsuccessful attempts.
Along with the application lock feature, VOS 3.0 also provides a hidden application feature. As the name implies, this feature will hide the specified application from the application list. If users need to access hidden applications, they can hide / show them quickly with the status bar button.

Scramble the PIN
A relatively simple but very effective feature in security is changing the button position of the PIN. Specifically, every time the user unlocks, the PIN keypad will disturb the position of the buttons, thereby preventing others from guessing the PIN you enter based on finger gestures.


Privacy display
This is a relatively odd feature but will probably be useful to a small number of users. Called "Private Display", it will make the entire screen dark (or opaque) and leave only a small portion of the screen to display content. Users will then drag the screen up / down to read sensitive content.


This feature of VOS 3.0 can be considered a copy of BlackBerry's "Privacy Shade" feature. Most users will not need it, but for those who have confidential information to hide, this may be something they need.
Read safe
As described by VOS 3.0, secure reading can "hide or display content on the phone screen using a registered fingerprint". Unfortunately, we have not been able to experience this feature yet because it is still experiencing bugs and cannot be used yet.

However, based on the image depicted, it seems that this feature will hide sensitive content by default. When the user places and holds his or her finger on the fingerprint sensor, that sensitive content will appear, but will immediately disappear when the user releases the finger.
Anti-spy (Anti-spy)
The Anti-spy feature on VOS 3.0 acts as an upgrade to the airplane mode. Specifically, when this feature is turned on, all connections such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Network, GPS will be disconnected. And yet, the hardware components such as vibration, speakers, microphone, camera will also be disabled. Users can set to quickly activate anti-spy mode right from the notification bar.

Virus scan, security report, safety check for network connection
Included with VOS 3.0 is the all-new Device Care application. Besides garbage and junk files, another feature of this application is "Device protection". It can scan your device for malicious applications and remove malicious apps, check security for Wi-Fi / mobile networks, and alert users about security issues.

Other features: Private space, Data protection, Device search .
Besides the new features of version 3.0 above, VOS now has a number of other security features built-in from previous VOS versions such as:
- Find device: In case the device is lost, users can locate on the map to find again. If the device is completely lost, they can issue a lock or remote wipe to protect personal data.

- Data protection: This feature simulates the application's rights (such as reading messages, contacts, memory) to avoid data collection. Some applications require specific permissions to work, but sometimes they take advantage of this to steal user data. To prevent this, users can use the "fake" feature of VOS to deceive the application that it has been licensed, but in fact, the application still can not access the data.

- Private space: This is a feature quite similar to Second Space of Xiaomi or Secure Folder of Samsung. This feature will create a separate space where users can store confidential files, or applications with sensitive data such as contacts, browsers, notes . completely separate from data. usually, common, normal. Users leaving private space can only be accessed when entering a valid PIN, password or fingerprint.
Ambitious about the super-secure operating system of VinSmart?
In 2018 when Vsmart brand smartphone was born, Vsmart General Director Tran Minh Trung said that Vsmart will develop its own Android-based security operating system."We are organizing a review of every single line of Android open source code, eliminating all lines of code and services that may affect user security, while introducing peer-to-peer security mechanisms. -peer between two people to encrypt the call. " - Mr. Trung shared.
With the addition of a series of security features on VOS, it can be seen that this is the result that VinSmart has after this research process. And, it also makes it clear that the Vietnamese smartphone company's ambition of a super-secure operating system has never been extinguished.

The creation of super-secure operating system by VinSmart also makes us wonder: "Will there be a super smartphone to be launched to" match "with this super-secure operating system?" . Because, an operating system "super security" but only to run on popular smartphones for students, students or workers is really "wasted"; while business people or the right people, the new position really needs it.
VinSmart has promised high-end Vsmart smartphones, or even super-class like Lux or Super Lux; However, up to now, Vsmart is still loyal to the cheap segment. Let's hope that the security features on VOS 3.0 are a preparation step for Vsmart to enter the higher segments.
