If you've been toying with the idea of getting a super-private Android smartphone that boasts a so-called military-grade protection, you have to know that a new phone named Solarin featuring the said capacity has already been introduced. This, however, comes with a high price of £9,500 or roughly $14,000.
Sirin Labs, the team behind Solarin, has launched the super-pricey device on May 31 via a press release.
Dubbed "the world's first truly [smartphone]," Solarin is specifically targeted at international business people carrying sensitive information "but doesn't want to compromise on usability, quality or design."
Features To Expect From This Expensive Phone
With such an expensive price, Solarin features remarkable specs. The phone comes with an internal storage of a whopping 128 GB and a 4 GB of RAM. Equipped with five antennas, Solarin is powered by Snapdragon 810 chipset.
In terms of its camera, this handset is loaded with a 23.8 MP snapper that comes with a four-tone flash and laser autofocus.
This phone, fitted with a 5.5-inch IPS LED 2K resolution display, also has a front-facing flash. What makes it even sweeter is that it has 24 LTE bands that can reach a speed of up to 4.6 Gbps.
It is also covered with elegant Italian leather on its back. It sports a fingerprint sensor plus a security switch that users can press to make sure they are safe from hacking when sending messages or making phone calls.
Sophisticated Privacy Technology
The company says that the phone is loaded with features from third-party anti-cyberattack mobile security software from Zimperium. A chip-to-chip 256-bit AES encryption technology is also integrated into the device. This tech is similar to what militaries use across the globe to safeguard communications.
While it is undeniable that the new phone includes features and specs that seem noteworthy, it is worth mentioning that these ones match what's in store in Samsung's Galaxy S7 edge. In fact, the processor that is crammed into the S7 edge is even a better one — a Snapdragon 820. It runs on Android 5.1.1 rather than the recent version of Google's operating system.
A report from Mashable says that its steep price tag is "hardly seem justifiable," as it "wouldn't perform much better than most new phones on the market."
