Sirin Labs, a Switzerland-based startup, has
unveiled a blockchain-powered smartphone dubbed Finney. The device is powered
by the Snapdragon 845 SoC, and sports a 6-inch display with 18:9 aspect ratio.
It comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The camera department has a 12MP main
sensor and an 8MP selfie shooter.
The handset runs Android 8.1 OS with what the
company calls Sirin OS on top, and packs in a 3,000mAh battery. Arguably more
interesting are the Finney's in-display fingerprint sensor and its built-in
'cold-storage' crypto wallet.
Sirin Labs also recently entered into partnership
with FIH (Foxconn International Holding) to carry out the manufacturing of the
phone. And earlier this year Huawei was in talks with the company to develop a
'blockchain-ready' smartphone.
