A new smartphone which is unhackable and waterproof
Apple is already using the material in small quantities in its iPhone 6 models.
Developed by Turing Robotic Industries based in San Francisco, the smartphone, Shenzhen and California China, is made of a material called liquidmorphium.
The Turing Phone is also tough outside being able to withstand bending and even breaking thanks to a liquid metal-frame TRI calls “Liquidmorphium”.
The Turing phone which has nano-coating on the internals is built on around a novel concept of waterproofing. The phone can even be submerged in water. The phone is activated through a fingerprint reader on the side of the device, and is created to keep servers and third parties out of users” business as much as possible, “Wired.com’ reported. The sleek minimalism employed in the design unfortunately means there’s no USB port nor headphone slot, rather a proprietary jack takes the place of both in a backpedalled stray from the trend toward device universalism.
Aptly named the Turing Phone, it promises to be a secure phone, built for a post-Snowden and data surveillance world. The keys use what Sullivan characterizes as a complex system of encryption, and they’re “virtually uncrackable” by hackers. The 64GB version will cost $740, and the 128GB version will cost $870.
Rumors have indicated that the next major flagship iPhone model, the iPhone 7, could feature a Liquidmetal case, though others have posited that Apple will use its custom Series 7000 aluminum alloy, which is used in the Apple Watch Sport, instead.
Turing Robotic Industries CEO Steve Chao said the focus is on three features: privacy keys, liquid metal, nano-coating.
Other specifications of the Turing Phone include a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 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. People were like, ‘Why do I need that?’ But then they were standardized.
