Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy A8 Enterprise Edition will initially come to Germany. Read to know about the highly-secured Android flagship phones.


After announcing flagship Galaxy S9 series at the recently concluded Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona, Samsung has announced new Enterprise Edition of the Android flagship along with Galaxy A8 series for corporate employees.


The new variants come with the same hardware as seen in the original models, but they will boast Samsung's proprietary multi-layered military-grade Knox security from hardware to apps at all levels.

Also, the Galaxy S9 Enterprise Edition owners are entitled to get security updates for a total of four years - monthly for the first three years and quarterly for the fourth year. And for the Galaxy A8 Enterprise Edition, the company promises to offer a manufacturer's warranty of two years and monthly security updates for a total of three years.

With Samsung Knox, IT managers in corporate companies can remotely configure a large number of Samsung mobile devices to work in specific operations and situations. Also, administrators, to primarily thwart hacking, can create the appropriate configuration profiles in advance, pair them with the appropriate settings and restrictions, and automatically prepare mobile devices for use in business operations.

However, the company is offering the limited Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy A8 Enterprise Edition initially in Germany for €849 (roughly $1,046/Rs 68,185) and the €499 Euros (approx. $615/Rs 40,076), respectively. The former is slated to hit stores in April, while the latter can be purchased from this weekend onwards.
