Turing Robotics, a tech company that is super serious about security, will soon manufacture an encrypted smartphone, the red, gold, blue, and purple Turing Phone. This sleek unhackable unique mobile device surprisingly lacks a USB port and headphone jack. However, it is not only multi-colored but also produced from an unbreakable material, and is ultra waterproof.
SYL Chao, the robot company's CEO, explained that most cellphones today are Volkswagons. However, the new Turing Phone is a supercar.
The phone has a 5.5-inch screen and runs Android 5.1. However, it also has a sleek shape, multi-colored shell, spaceship design back, and is available in three models: Beowulf, Cardinal, and Pharaoh.
It is equipped with a Snapdragon processor and 16GB of memory storage. The Turing Phone also includes an 8-megapixel front camera, and a 13-megapixel model in the back, according to Wired.
Chao has promised to revamp Google's Android OS. Security will be a key feature of the phone, with encryption built into nearly all of the phone's core apps.
The new smartphone is also unbreakable. It is constructed from a material called liquidmorphium, which is stronger than aluminum and steel, and is already used by Apple Inc. in the card slot of the iPhone SIM.
Another big plus of the Turing Phone is that it is airtight waterproof. Due to its nano-coating, the mobile device is not sealed, yet users can shake it off and then use it after it has fallen into water, according to India Today.
Chao stressed the importance of his new phone's three key features. He compared them to three early smartphone features: cameras, GPS, and Wi-Fi.
He also pointed out that Apple is weighing whether to add the three features in its future mobile gadgets. Chao made the bold claim that within time companies producing smartphones without a privacy key, liquid metal, and nano-coating will become yesterday's news.
