Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge get certified for official use in the UK

Vlad, 17 July, 2015

Samsung is happy to announce that its Galaxy S6 and S6 edge smartphones have had their encryption certified by the UK's Communications and Electronics Security Group. This is a government body that certifies devices for use by high-ranking people in the UK.

Samsung's latest flagships have both been approved for use at the "official" level, which means they are recommended devices for government and public sector organisations, including the police, local councils, hospitals, as well as government departments.

Samsung boasts that it is the first mobile handset maker to receive such a certification from this UK-based authority. The CESG has conducted rigorous testing on the two devices, ensuring they meet a stringent set of security requirements.
