Turing Claims New Turing Hubble Phone Will Have 2 X Snapdragon 855

The guys over at Turing Space Industries (TSI) must have their offices next to some real interesting plantations. The company that once had big plans to launch futuristic phones, never seems to give up. TSI originally became popular for their Turing phone which was a crowd funded failure. A lot of people initially bought into the idea of an impressive phone, but the company failed to deliver. And hence, people cancelled their purchases leaving TSI with a massive failure.

A few years ago, the company claimed to be working on more revolutionary devices, A Turing Monolith Chaconne and a Turing Cadenza , both phones that would never see the light of day. And how would they claiming to be built on technology that doesn’t exist.

The Turing Hubble Phone takes this dream to an all new level. The company claims that the Turing Hubble Phone will launch in 2020 with a dual Snapdragon 855 chipset, a chipset not yet announced. The company also claims that the phone will have a Snapdragon X50 5G modem, yet another mythical hardware unicorn. TSI also claims the phone will be sold to those still dinking radiator water in 2020 for a mediocre price of $2,749 (starting).

Turing claims that the Hubble Phone will have three operating systems as well, because why wouldn’t it. The first will be Android P, apparently still the latest in 2020, and Turing Keplerian OS which will be in the top part of the phone ( aka the Top Deck ) the lower part or Main deck will get a combination of the two OSs in the top deck but also Sailfish 3 OS.

The company also claims that the phone will have a 5 x 12 MP CMOS sensor camera setup , 2 on the front of the “Top Deck”, 1 on the rear of the top deck and 2 on the rear of the bottom deck aka the main deck. Both decks will also have dual SIM card slots each, hence the phone will handle 4 SIM cards simultaneously. Sure to be a success in India, but that 1.8 Lakh price may dissuade buyers.

The Turing Hubble Phone will also have Emotional Machine Intelligence and Lip reading capabilities along with “Emotional detection”. The body of the Hubble phone, a name it probably gets for its telescope like design, will be made from Titanium Aluminide,a lightweight metal alloy resistant to oxidation and heat. The phone will be IP68 dust/water proof (up to 1.5m for 30 mins).

The Hubble phone also has a total of 3 AMOLED capacitive touchscreen displays. A 5.44 inch along with a 5.41 inch on the top deck and a 11.81 inch one on the main deck which as you see will fold over all the electronics. The dual SD855 chipsets , each deck gets their own, with 8 x 2.96 GHz on the clock. the lower deck gets the SDX50 5G modem.

HubblePhone includes an Artificial Reality (AfR) messaging application which allows users to send 3D animated messages projected into the recipient’s immediate physical surroundings. Honestly it doesn’t get any more ridiculous at this point. At least the company is not claiming a ridiculous 64GB of RAM , and endless battery via a non available technology. Since they already claimed those with the Cadenza and the Chaconne. The Hubble phone will have a paltry 8 GB of RAM in each deck with 256GB for each deck too. The battery will be a seemingly doable 2800 mAh in the upper deck and 3300 mAh in the main deck.

TSI does claim that the camera on the Hubble phone will be impressive with a 15x optical zoom. And, the phone will have a game mode allowing you to play PUBG endlessly while you are on a space train to mars.

A prototype is also shown off, which appears to be the phone, or a dual glass slab model with a led ring light. The hinges are claimed to be made of liquid metal, Apparently TSI doesn’t know that this is a material that Apple exclusively plans to utilise thanks to the over 40 Patents granted to Apple for exclusive usage in several scenarios.

‘Unhackable’ Turing Phone’s Shipment Timeline Revealed

The Turing phone is an Android phone that is designed around the idea of it being unhackable. It does not come with a USB port or headphone jack or any other extension that could be used to manipulate the software. The Turing Robotic Industries has posted a release and order timeline for the Turing Phone.

The features of this phone include a 5.5-inch 1080p LCD, a Snapdragon 801, 3GB of RAM, a 13MP camera, and 3,000mAh battery. You may not be impressed by these specifications, but the main selling point of this device is the hardened version of Android 5.1 with built-in end-to-end encryption and a fingerprint reader.

Here is a convenient timeline for you:

On the 21st of September 2015, those of you who have reserved the phone during the initial reservation period will receive your first “Circle of Friends” invites.

On the 24th of September 2015 you can start pre-ordering the Dark Wyvern special edition. Along with this all reservations will be informed to pay for the order (full payment required) and an upgrade to Dark Wyvern option will also be available.

The official shipment of the Turing Phones will begin on the 18th of December 2015. The dark Wyvern special edition Turing phone will be available for $999 (approx. Rs.66,023) and the Dark Wyvern “Glaedr” special edition will also be made available for $1299 (approx. Rs. 85,850)

Apart from this if you are going to purchase the “regular” Turing Phones, you will be able to pre-order it at $610 (approx. Rs.40,312) for the 32GB and $740 (approx. Rs.48,858) for the 64GB, starting 24th of September 2015. The special edition 128GB will cost $870 (approx. Rs.57,472).

You Can Now Reserve Your Very Own Turing Phone

We had earlier told you that the Turing Phone is set to be out by September and the company as well as users are waiting to get their hands on the phone, which the company claims is “unhackable and unbreakable.” Now, reservations are open, even though billing still remains closed.

Perplexing? The company has made the smart decision of announcing ‘reservations’ instead of pre-order because one can leave their details on the website, choose the colour of the phone they desire and even the storage space they require, however, this procedure will not yield a phone or a commitment from yourself to purchase a phone from the company. It’s mainly like a statement or perhaps a marketing strategy.

Turing Robotics, is banking on the fact that the phone will sell for its strong security feature. It has no headphone jack or USB dock for the same reason. It has an IPX8 certificate making it water resistant and has a unique and stylish appearance.

Expected to be priced at Rs. 55,000, it may seem like a steep price for a relatively new phone, in the market. However, the Turing is made of a mix of metals called ‘Liquidmorphium’ making it sturdy and resilient.

On the specifications front, the Turing Phone runs on the 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801c processor with 3GB of RAM. The phone supports 4G LTE and is powered by a 3000 mAh non-removable battery. The rest include a 5.5 inch full HD display, a 13MP rear and an 8MP front camera and a fingerprint scanner on the left side of the phone. The phone runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop with Turing Aemaeth UI. The phone can be charged by a magnetically attached power connector, like Apple’s MagSafe.

It is available in three variants – 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. In India, the 64GB variant will be available for a price of around Rs. 55,000 and the 128 GB variant will be available at a price of around Rs. 68,000. The Turing Phone comes in three models – Pharaoh, Cardinal, and Beowulf, each one taking colour and texture cue from the source material.

Exclusive: Starting at Rs. 55,000, the Turing Phone is Set to Launch in India by September

In a post-Snowden world, privacy has become an integral part of our lives. We have seen in TV shows and movies where the protagonist and spies carry an uncrackable, heavily encrypted phone. Turing Robotics Industries has launched a smartphone, the Turing Phone, which the company claims is unhackable and unbreakable. Appropriately named after Alan Turing, the first person to develop cryptographic machines, otherwise known as computers, the device will launch in India by the first week of September, starting at a price of Rs. 55,000.

If the price seems too steep, there is a reason behind it. The Turing Phone has been constructed from a material called Liquidmorphium, which is stronger than titanium and steel. It uses nano-coating to cover the internal parts, which makes it waterproof. To round off its main selling point, the phone has built-in end-to-end encryption in its core apps, which means servers and third parties cannot intercept your calls and messages. The phone has been built keeping security in mind. To that extent, it doesn’t even has a headphone jack or a USB port. It is meant to be unhackable.

Turing Robotics’ CEO SYL Chao hopes that the material used in the Turing Phone will become standard in the near future. In the present, it seems that the phone will only attract businessmen and people working at higher positions in corporate sectors, considering its steep price tag.
