Turing Phone, Made of Liquid Metal with End-To-End Encryption


TuringPhoneThe most durable smartphone on the planet? What makes a phone live up to such words? Turing Robotic Industries has made such a claim with its Turing Phone, a brand new Android-powered, “impossible to hack” smartphone promising end-to-end encryption, as well as a sustainable production process. The company, based in San Francisco and in China, is using an entirely new technology for protecting your calls and data. Plus, the fact that this thing is supposedly indestructible also helps its cause.


The company decided to take the entire communication process off of the internet, so that there are no encryption keys stored on third-party servers or outside companies. Instead, Turing Phone uses “decentralized authentication to encrypt any communications, and comes with its master public key and unique private key pre-installed with the phone” (The Next Web). It also uses a process called a static key exchange. When two Turing Phones communicate, they already know how to verify each of their identities, resulting in a network completely protected and insulated from threats. This means that the exchange of super sensitive data, such as social security numbers or bank information, is exchanged only between the identified parties. This innovative new process seems to be more private than anything used in this day and age.

Turing Phone is made of super strong liquid metal called “Liquidmorphium”, an alloy of copper, zirconium, aluminum, nickel, and silver. It's stronger than titanium or steel, is “unbendable, and resistant to shock and screen breakages.


Finally, the Android Lollipop-running Turing Phone features a 5.5-inch, 1080p display, comes with a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 3GB of RAM, 64 to 128GB of storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery (BGR). It will be on sale this August for $750 and $870 for the 64GB and 128GB models, respectively.
