Privacy and durability are two of the major things that we lack in our smartphones today. Privacy is one of the most feared and  essential things ever considered with serious cases of data leaks now and again. And there’s always that fear of dropping our phone and damaging it, cause it’s fragile. Well it’s all about to change as Turing Robotic Industries has revealed the phone which they claim is Unhackable, Unbreakable and Waterproof. This phone is named as the Turing Phone which might turn tables in the smartphone industry.

This is a 5.5 inch android smartphone, which is made out of material called liquidmorphium which is stronger than steel and aluminum, which were also used in small quantities in iPhone 6 models. This phone has no USB port and headphone jacks which seems really odd for smartphone to lack. It also has nano coating on its internals for water proofing which means water can get inside your internals but you can get rid of it by just shaking it off and phone will be good to use again. This is possible as every part of the phone is accessible and can be opened.

This phone is accessible with the use of fingerprint on the side. Handset has end-to-end encryption in most of its built in apps and also cryptocurrency. So this is literally the maximum security we can have on our smartphones now.

Specifications of Turing Phone:

• 5.5 inch HD (1080×1920 pixel) display
• Runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop
• Fingerprint Scanner
• 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 Chipset
• 3GB RAM
• 16/32/64GB Internal Storage with no Expansion
• 13MP Rear Camera and 5MP front Camera
• Non-removable 3000mAh battery.

This phone will be ready for pre-order from July 31^st and will cost $610 for 16GB model which is a hefty price you have to pay for your privacy. We may rarely see this device here in Nepal. But it has raised the bar for other smartphone manufacturers and we might see other similar devices in the near future.

Belgian couple Marie and Nicolas* were hiking through the countryside near their home, when Nicolas suddenly collapsed from a cardiac arrest. Marie called emergency services immediately and tried for cardiopulmonary recovery. But, Nicolas needed a defibrillator – the shock pads that could jolt his heart back into its regular beat. It took over 15 minutes for the ambulance to arrive and by then there was absolutely no chance of saving him. If a defibrillator was available within two minutes, the chances of survival would be up to 80%.

Stimulated by this tragic event, Alec Momont, the couple’s neighbor, recently completed a Master’s design degree at the University of Delft in the Netherlands. His prototype ambulance paramedic drone can deliver a defibrillator or any other medical instruments within 12km²  in less than two minutes and could potentially save hundreds and thousands of lives each year.

HOW THE DRONE WORKS?

The drone is assisted by a remote pilot who is medically trained and answers the emergency call.A front-mounted GoPro camera provides constant video feedback to navigate the drone using GPS. After reaching the patient vicinity, the pilot tells the user what to do or how to do, for e.g. if the defibrillator shock pads are placed correctly or not.

AMBULANCE DRONE SPECIFICATIONS:

-Cost: $5,280 (prototype)
-Final model: $15,828
-Top speed: 100 km/h
-Weight: 4 kilograms
-Lift-capacity: 6 kilograms
-Response time: 12 km² area within two minutes.
-Maximum flight time: 15 minutes
