Sirin Labs announces specifications for Finney, “the world’s first blockchain smartphone”

Swiss startup Sirin Labs has announced a “blockchain smartphone” that can be used as a dedicated hardware wallet to store cryptocurrencies. The device, called “Finney,” has flagship specs and is said to be released later this year at a price expected to be around $999. The device is manufactured by Foxconn and is being touted as “the world’s first blockchain smartphone.”

As is clear from the sales pitch, the device comes with encrypted credentials and is powered by proprietary Android-based software called Sirin OS. The terminal also features a “token conversion service,” which the company says provides seamless and automatic token conversion for using various decentralized applications without the hassle of acquiring various tokens through exchanges. The company claims it can.

“Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that the first blockchain smartphone is cutting-edge in every technological aspect. Our collaboration with FIH ensures that blockchain technology is truly secure and user-friendly. ” – Zvika Landau, Co-CEO, Sirin Labs.

Sirin Labs Finney hardware specifications

The company claims the phone is secure, tamper-resistant, and independent from the rest of the device, even as the cryptocurrency industry is effectively under siege from various regulators and government agencies around the world. It is equipped with special hardware. Not a target for Android malware.

Whichever way you look at it, this phone definitely offers something different at a time when innovation in the smartphone industry is more evolution than revolution. There is no doubt that the Finney is a niche device, but it will still be interesting to see how it is received by its target audience. If it becomes a decent business, other companies will soon jump on the bandwagon with their own products that combine smartphones and cryptocurrency wallets.
