The company behind the consumer products provider, FINNEY, has today released the specifications for the revolutionary and long-awaited blockchain smartphone. The phone is due to hit shelves by the later quarters of 2018 and boasts one of the largest crowdsales in history.
Currently, Sirin Labs has created the fourth largest crowdsale for the much-anticipated smartphone. Raising over $157.8 million during the campaign last year.
Sirin Labs had recently announced its partnership with the subsidiary group of Foxconn Technology Group, FIH Mobile. With FIH placed in charge of the production of development and manufacturing of the phone.
Moshe Hogeg, Co-CEO of Sirin Labs stated that a great responsibility is placed on the shoulders of both companies in bringing this phone to the market with the greatest level of quality possible.
“Bringing the first blockchain-based smartphone to the market obligates us to partner with the very best. FIH Mobile, the gold-standard in smartphone manufacturing. It was ultimately the clear and natural partner for us.”
FINNEY Devices are traditionally fitted with a cold-storage wallet for cryptocurrencies. Allowing users to buy, sell and store their coins in a completely secure device.
The new phone expected to allow for seamless purchase and storage including automatic token conversions for any installed blockchain applications the user may have. The ability for the smartphone to actively convert to other tokens would mean the removal of time and money-consuming coin exchanges.
Zvika Landau, Co-CEO of Sirin Labs stated:
“Our team has been working vigorously to make sure that the first blockchain smartphone is cutting edge in all technical aspects. Out Collaboration with FIH ensures that we will be offering a state-of-the-art design with device architecture that will enable true security and user-friendly blockchain experience.”
