Turing Robotic Industries said its Turing Phone will ship to customers starting Dec. 18, more than four months later than the original Aug. 10 ship date.
The company began accepting preorders on July 31 and expects people to pay for the phone in full Sept. 24, long before it ships. Turing named Foxconn as its official manufacturer. Turing also announced two special editions of the handset, called the Dark Wyvern and Dark Wyvern Glaedr, which will be available as upgrades.
The standard Turing Phone costs $610 for 16 GB, $740 for 64 GB, and $870 for 128 GB. The special editions cost $999 and $1,299, respectively. The Turing phone is molded from Liquidmorphium that the company claims provides greater tensile strength than either titanium or steel.
The handset has a fingerprint sensor built into the side edge for security and uses a magnetic charger to negate the need for ports. Turing says the Android-based handset offers completely secure phone calls and messaging.
The device features a 5.5-inch full HD display and it is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor with 3 GB of RAM. The main camera has a 13-megapixel sensor and the front camera has an 8-megapixel sensor. The device has a 3,000mAh battery and supports a range of LTE networks around the world.
