Turing Phone Claimed to Be
Unhackable, Unbreakable, and
Waterproof ->
Engineers have developed a unique smartphone
that is unhackable and built from a special metal
that is even stronger than titanium and steel,
supposedly making it unbreakable.
.
Called the Turing Phone , the smartphone's end-
to-end encryption is built into most of the core
apps on the phone.
Users can activate the Turing Phone, developed by
San Francisco-based Turing Robotic Industries, via
a fingerprint reader on the side of the device,
Wired.com reported .
.
The 5.5-inch phone has no USB port and no
headphone jack. It is made of a material called
liquidmorphium that is stronger than steel or
aluminium and apparently the next big thing in
phones.
.
Apple is already using the material in small
quantities in its iPhone 6 models.
The phone is also extraordinarily waterproof
owing to a nano-coating on the internals. No
rubber is used and everything is accessible and
open.
.
If you put the Turing Phone in the water, it is not
designed to be sealed and water will get in. Just
pull it out, shake it off and you are ready to use
it without any problem.
.
The phone is available for pre-order starting July
31, beginning at $610 (roughly Rs. 38,700) for a
16GB model, said Syl Chao, CEO of Turing
Robotic Industries. It runs on Android 5.1
Lollipop with Turing Aemaeth UI, and comes in
three colour variants - Pharaoh, Cardinal, and
Beowulf.
.
Other specifications of the Turing Phone include a
5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) display;
2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 SoC; 3GB of
RAM; 16/32/64GB storage models; a 13-megapixel
rear camera with dual-LED flash; an 8-megapixel
front-facing camera; 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac,
Bluetooth 4.0 LE; NFC; GPS/ Glonass; and a non-
removable 3000mAh battery. Sensors include
fingerprint, accelerometer, gryoscope,
magnetometer, proximity, ambient light,
temperature, and humidity.
