Ratio is our way of bringing our custom BllocOS experience to other phones.
You can download the Ratio launcher on your Android, for free, directly from the Google Play Store here. All you need is Android 8.1 or above.
We also developed a widget for iOS 14 and above, and you can download it here for a small one-off fee.
In the Android app, there's an inbuilt getting started guide under Ratio Settings > General > Start onboarding.
The iOS widget has a guide with details of how to customise your icons. Check it out under the 'Manual' section.
For further resources for both Android and iOS, please check out our HowTo guide.
Please use the Ratio Tool and check out this HowTo guide.
We are no longer inviting new Ratio users for the beta version of BllocDesk at the moment. Thanks for your understanding..
If you want to use it just to enable App Lock, Color/Greyscale Mode please use the RatioTool instead.
You can check out our Privacy Policy here. The page is in German as this is our jurisdiction.
For more frequently asked privacy questions in English, and how it relates to the Z18, Ratio and BllocDesk, please see below or check out the Z18 Wiki and/or Ratio HowTo Guide.
No. None of your personal data is collected or stored from your Z18, Ratio, or BllocDesk back to Blloc. We value privacy and believe that all your personal data belongs to you.
No, none of our products rely on Google services to work.
Yes, for the Z18 and Ratio we’re using Mixpanel and Sentry to anonymously analyse basic usage events. This is to help us build a better product.
Events do not contain any personal data, are encrypted via https, and cannot be attributed or traced back to any individual. For example, we analyse the number of active users, crashes and errors on a particular day.
►As the Z18 is rooted and delivered free of Google services, system root access is required. Only Blloc apps have root access. All other permissions are shown to you during setup, and you can decline or revoke them at any time. Just to BllocMode > Blloc Settings > General > Permissions Manager (v3.2.3 and above).
►Ratio will only ask you for the permissions it crucially needs to function as your home launcher. Different features require different sets of permissions, and you will be shown what each one does during installation which you can decline or revoke if you wish. To review your Ratio permissions, just to Ratio Settings > General > Permissions Manager.
►Ratio Tool requires access to your computer disk for installation, and phone to enable ADB permissions.
►BllocDesk(now temporarily unavailable) requires access to your computer disk for installation, and WiFi for pairing with your Z18 or device with Ratio.
We ship to countries in the EU, as well as Switzerland, Norway and the United Kingdom & Northern Ireland.
We have implemented safety measures and are working as normal. Please expect to receive your phone or case within 4-6 working days, however due to strict border controls across Europe and due to Brexit, delivery to some countries may take longer.
Although border restrictions within Europe do not apply to the movement of goods, delays may occur due to general checks. In some local regions there might also be local delivery exceptions.
All delivery updates and options will be shown to you in your tracking link.
Yes, we still are! However please note that with the new rules, you may be charged extra taxes or custom duties before delivery. Blloc will not be unable to cover any extra import costs.
No, Blloc does not cover any of these fees. Users in Norway, Switzerland and now recently the UK, may be charged import duties.
To claim your replacement, please email us at info@blloc.com so we can confirm your BllocProtect status, and give you the return instructions.
Blloc OS updates are planned to run until December 2021, and security updates will run until December 2022.
No. Studies have shown that lesser usage of color helps focus and minimise distraction and addiction. That’s why we designed our operating system with focus and agility at its core. However the screen is capable of the full color spectrum, and content or apps that are not designed by us will be presented in full colour.
Yes.
Yes, it has a dual sim port. The second slot is also a microSD slot that can be used to expand storage by another 64GB. You can therefore have either 2 SIM cards, or 1 SIM card and 1 microSD card.
