The Turing Phone looks like it was plucked right out of a sci-fi movie.

Turing Robotics Industries announced on Thursday its Turing Phone, the world's first smartphone made from Liquidmorphium liquid metal — a material that's stronger than titanium and steel.

The Turing Phone runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and features a 5.5-inch screen with 1,920 x 1,080 resolution (full HD), a 13-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel front-camera and a 3,000 milliamp-hour (mAh) battery.

Under the screen, there's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with 2.5GHz quad-core Krait graphics, 3GB of RAM, 16/32/64GB of storage. Those are very respectable specs, just a hairsbreadth below the flagships of today.



The Turing Phone also has a fingerprint sensor. But unlike fingerprint sensors that are embedded in the home buttons on phones like the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6, the Turing Phone's finger sensor is located on the side.

One thing you won't find on the Turing Phone is a
standard microUSB port for charging; it uses a magnetic charger.

It's also waterproof. A special Binnacle Ocean Master nano-coating allows the phone to be submerged in 30 feet of water.



Impressive hardware aside, the Turing Phone's other star feature is its security. Turing Robotics says the phone uses a "protected communications network that is entirely insulated from cyber-threats and privacy intrusions."

Through it, users can exchange private data such as social security numbers and banking numbers to other Turing devices securely without worrying about it being intercepted midway.

The Turing Phone will be available for pre-order on July 31 in three models: 16GB ($610), 64GB ($740) and 128GB ($870).
