Turing Phone is World’s First Liquid metal-frame Android phone

July 3, 2015

There are dozens to hundreds of Android phone models to choose from various manufacturers all over the world today. We can’t feature every smartphone that comes out in the market. We care about those premium flagship phones from top brands, as well as, those that we think give value for money. This Turing Phone isn’t exactly affordable or doesn’t even come from a popular phone brand but the fact that it is the first liquid metal-frame smartphone in the world is enough to make us put in on the spotlight.

Turing Robotic Industries (TRI) is releasing only ten thousand units of the Turing Phone. Pre-order will open starting the 31st of July on the Turning Phone website. It’s one unique smartphone that promises secure and trustworthy communication all the time because of the end-to-end authentication system it uses. This means no privacy issues or even those annoying cyber threats.

Three variants of the phone will be available: 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB. These models are priced at $610, $740, and $870, respectively. Expensive for an Android phone and from a company we’re not really familiar with but it’s made from Liquidmorphium. Don’t be intimated by the term. It’s just a new material that is super durable, promising shock absorption, IPx8 waterproof rating, and being “tougher than steel or titanium”. Simply put, this is one tough phone from inside and out–able to withstand security threats and possible breakage. Specs of the phone include a 5.5-inch FHD screen, 1920 x 1080 resolution, 13MP main camera with HDR Dual Flash, 8MP front-facing camera, fingerprint sensor, 3GB RAM, and non-removable 3000 mAh battery. It will run Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.

Turing Robotic Industries is still a relatively young company but it’s determined to enter the mobile market. Why, it’s even planning to open a retail store in the United States first quarter of 2016 and a special SDK, the Turing Library software development kit, will be released next month in time for delivery of the Turing Phones.

Those who will pre-order for the Turing Phone will get a bonus accessories package. Except a mobile gaming controller, gaming Bluetooth headset, a Bluetooth speaker, and a mobile Bluetooth keyboard to arrive with the smartphone. You can choose from any of the four color schemes that TRI has yet to announce this coming July 22.
