A British-Israeli start-up plans to sell a mobile phone, dubbed as the Rolls Royce of smartphones, from next month that will offer users unprecedented levels of technology and security -- and retail for close to $20,000.
Sirin Labs said on Monday it had raised $72 million in private funds to launch the device, which would be aimed at executives. It plans to open its first store, in London’s Mayfair, in May.
“(Our) smartphone ...brings the most advanced technology available - even if it is not commercially available - and combining it with almost military-grade security,” said Sirin co-founder and president Moshe Hogeg.
The phone, dubbed as the Rolls Royce of smartphones, will be based on the Android operating system and run otherwise unspecified technology two to three years in advance of the mass market, he said.
Hogeg told Reuters the phone would sell for less than $20,000.
He believes thousands of executives in the United States and Europe will pay that sort of price, since the cost of being hacked could be more expensive in terms of information lost.
