The bitcoin boom, as well as its fall and instability, together with the blockchain explosion that is allowing other cryptocurrencies to begin to emerge, are causing more and more people to become interested in this sector.

Although it has been shown that the profitability of mining bitcoins is a utopia, every day we see news regarding the world of cryptocurrencies and everything that surrounds them.

Thanks to this, some companies are looking to enter and be part of this world.

Many companies have taken initiative in designing mobile phones with block technology and here’s what you need to know about them.

Sirin labs made the first smartphone to store cryptocurrencies and named it Finney.

It has a decentralized application center thus preventing centralized backbone and having independent block networks with other Finney devices.

They even have their own conversion service.

The labs claim their phone to be the safest technology for storing cryptocurrencies due to various features like a physical security switch for wallet protection.

It has 3 authentication systems i.e. biometric, lock and a behavioral authentication that renders it 100% safe.

Features:

Shield OS: Shield OS is an Android fork in the Finney, that comes with a blockchain supporting platform known as ‘Sirin Labs Cyber ​​Protection Suite.

These blockchains applications include crypto wallets enabling a safe temper free exchange of cryptocurrencies (Secure P2P sharing), encoded communication tools, tamper-proof verification, text and secure emails, biometric authentication, and an intrusion prevention system based on behavior to protect the device against possible attacks.

Specifications: It has 5.2-inch multi-touch safe screen with minimal frames, a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, 8GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage and a memory card slot, plus a 12-megapixel main camera and the other 8-megapixel selfie camera with wide-angle lens. 

SRN tokens: Those who wish to acquire either the smartphone or the computer will need SRN tokens, which will be the default cryptocurrency of the Finney blockchain network, that is, no cash or credit cards, although it is mentioned that there will be an option to acquire it through of bitcoins.

SRN will be the best of Sirin Labs to enter this world, and its devices seek to be the tools to guarantee the survival of this cryptocurrency.

That, in the end, is a long-term bet for the company, beyond the sale of devices.

For the lovers of cryptocurrency who are worried about the security, Finney is the perfect wallet.

Its behavioral based intrusion prevention system keeps the intruders away and keeps your information as secure and as safe as possible.

The smartphone has a 999$ price which is quite fair for mobile with such features.

X Phone

Pundi-x-phone

Pundi X is the company behind the XPhone, the device that presents itself as the first smartphone with blockchain technology. What does it consist of?

Basically, it is a rather simple and thick terminal but with an operating system based on modified Android to take advantage of the decentralized protocol and to be able to make both calls and send messages through this type of networks.

Features:

Independent: This device does not depend on any mobile operator to operate since it puts itself in contact with other terminals through its own chain of blocks.

What does this imply? That unlike other traditional phones that need a mobile operator, XPhone can operate independently with its own network.

Either to browse, send messages or make phone calls.

Dual Mode: This phone has blockchain mode and traditional mode.

This implies that being based on Android 9.0, it is possible to run any application that exists on Google Play or that the developers of apps easily create so that they work inside the phone.

For now, with the information disclosed, it will be necessary to use Wi-Fi to connect the phone to the network.

Even so, by changing the form of data transmission, we would obtain a communication protocol of our own: totally private and free.

In short, a communication protocol free of censorship would be possible.

Due to all these reasons, Function X OS can be one of the biggest revolutions in telecommunications since the creation of the Internet.
