Dell's tablet offering, the Venue 8 is finally updating to Android 5.0 Lollipop, but there's a downside. It is also encrypting the device without user consent, which is a bit problematic. Although most manufacturers make encryption an optional choice for the user, the Dell Venue 8 is doing so without asking. This happens during the 'Android is upgrading' message that one can see during the Android 5.0.2 update download. The Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 were caught in a similar controversy recently.
With encryption, it is likely that Dell hopes to target the non-casual user. Most casual users will be against the move as it does hit the performance of the devices. On the other hand, those who see the device as a stand-in laptop and use it for professional reasons are likely to appreciate the additional security.
The inclusion if the encryption process during the update has not been seen before. It remains to be seen how users react to what they might see as their right to choose. By not providing an option to encrypt, Dell might have alienated some of its users as well. The update has begun rolling out officially.
