Turing Phone is a Sailfish OS and Android OS smartphone by Turing Robotic Industries (TRI) which provides end-to-end encryption for secure communications. The device uses decentralized authentication to encrypt any communications and comes with its master public key and unique private key pre-installed with the phone. When a device is communicating with another Turing Phone, the two devices can directly verify their identity, side-stepping the need to route it via a Key Distribution Center.

At first the device was to run Android 5.0 which was later abandoned in favour of Sailfish OS, an operating system more resistant to attacks and threats, modified and adjusted according to the specifications and the user interface of Turing Phone.[2] The OS licence and cooperation with Jolla enabled the use of Sailfish Secure, a security-hardened version of the platform, developed in collaboration with the Finnish SSH Communications Security, the inventor of the SSH protocol.[2][need quotation to verify][3][4][5]

In 2017 TRI announced their intention to release an Android version besides the Sailfish OS, though, the specifications and the schedule have not been availed.[citation needed]

The device body is made of a material called "Liquidmorphium" which is described by the manufacturer as an “unbendable” metal that's stronger than titanium or steel and more resistant to shock and screen breakages.[1][need quotation to verify]

The phone is released in three memory capacity versions, the cheapest one of which costs US$610. A Cnet.com article called the pricing high, but noted that the "phone remains aimed at the well-heeled and security conscious, and not the average consumer".[6][7] Turing Robotic Industries has announced to have shipped the first batch of Turing Phones on July 12, 2016, as well as the second and third batches to be followed on July 22 and July 29 respectively.[citation needed] On February 7, 2018, however, TechCrunch announced that the TRI has filed for a bankruptcy, shutting down its operations in Salo.[8]
