Cellebrite called today and made me a offer to purchase an update from the Cellebrite Logical to either the Cellebrite UFED Touch or Cellebrite 4PC.
I have concerns with the Cellebrite 4PC having the drivers to recognize some of the more uncommon cell phones. I recently had a case that had a LG Optimus Zone. A Cellebrite Logical was able extract the data. I could not get MPE+, even after downloading the appropiate drivers, to recognize that the phone was connected to the computer and extract the data.
This is my concern with the Cellebrite 4PC. Has analysts experienced those type of problems? Can anyone provide experience with either version.
Thanks

No first hand experience but I can tell you that the Touch is running Windows XP on a hand held device, so essentially not a lot different from UFED for PC (I imagine).
Having said that I'm a long term UFED user and currently have the touch model. Can't recommend it highly enough.
RonS is a frequent visitor on this site and if anyone can answer your question it's him. )
VKC,
Cellebrite UFED and UFED 4PC (from day one, 2007, of the product) does NOT use any phone vendor drivers and we are not dependent on such drivers.
This is why you will not need to deal with such driver conflicts.
Best regards,
Ron
Hi Ron,
Are you able to shed any light on the differences between the Touch and UFED4PC? In particular the difference in speed of acquisition of a phone image and/or processing of the phone image file.
My assumption is that UFED4PC will be making use of the higher specs of the PC (CPU, RAM, USB 3 etc).
BTW I am a UFED TOUCH user and may look to upgrade.
Thanks

Touch is the flagship product isn't it? What are you upgrading to? 😉
No UFED4PC would be the flagship product now. It is the most recently released product and supersedes the UFED Touch.
All acquisitions are done on the PC, which could be a laptop too for field work. It would make sense that this new product could leverage USB3 (only suitable on some handsets but due to become the norm), more powerful CPU's, more ram etc bringing faster imaging and processing speeds.
I am interested to understand the difference in speeds as previously stated, but there are no white papers on this as yet.
When the 4PC came out I was a little sceptical about using it over the touch, but now that I have the 4PC I prefer using it over the touch. Extractions go so much quicker and the data goes straight into the file location I store all of my cellphone data without using the tranfer cable or tranfering from an external drive to my computer. These are small things, but they still speed things up a little bit. I have the software on my laptop so that I can use it in the field if I need to.
