Russia is entering the post-Snowden world with style. Its own anti-surveillance smartphone prototype, equipped with the latest in cutting-edge cybersecurity and intended for corporate users, is currently being tested.
This is not Russia’s first foray into smartphones, with the dual-screen YotaPhone making headlines recently with its second incarnation. However, the new project will offer unparalleled, corporate-level securit, when ready. The current version is a prototype and any photos are kept in strict secret.
Bendable smartphones could be a reality in five years, Lenovo's head of mobile told CNBC.
Very easy to steal too from the looks of it.
More pointless, overpriced attachments to compensate for designer shortsightedness could be a reality in 5 years.
Some people mocked the original iPhone when it launched, and the Samsung Galaxy Note provoked much mirth for being too big, but both defied their critics with strong sales and spawned sequels that are still going strong. The phones we’re looking at here had a different fate. They may have pointed the way for the future of smartphones, but they failed to capitalize on it.
Lumia 1020 was definitely the biggest shocker of all. I still remember how I thought it would do great in the markets when it was first announced.
Shake it like a smartphone printer. Actually, no. Don't shake it. Your prints will be ready in ten seconds.
Let me warn you before hand that it is gonna cost you a fortune if you plan on using this one for some regular use.
-Provide full root level encryption of the OS.
-Provide signal encryption for calls between two similar phones.
-1 touch disabling of Wifi/Bluetooth/NFC all at once so they can be quickly turned off when not in use and turned back on when needed.
-Allow it to be used as an encrypted two way radio for calls within say 15 miles to other similar phones.
They should also work on developing some sort of signal scattering tech so that the users location cannot be tracked via cell towers during calls.
