Around three years ago, Sirin Labs made its debut in the smartphone market with its first attempt by launching the world’s first blockchain smartphone called Finney. Moving on, the company has recently launched its second smartphone named Sirin V3.

According to the info, Sirin V3 features almost the same configuration and features like Samsung’s latest Galaxy S21 flagship but it is equipped with the highest level of security. Consumers can regard it as a rebranded Galaxy S21 that comes with a price tag of $2650.

Sirin V3 incorporates two totally separated and protected zones with its Dual-Persona solution. Personal space ( on the left) for the user to install apps from Google Play Store only for his own personal usage.

At the same time, Secured space ( on the right) – a highly secured and encrypted partition. In this space, no apps can be installed except for the pre-loaded apps. It contains a military-grade anonymous encrypted call app ( end to end ).

Aside from this, consumers can also download apps in personal mode, restrict whitelist or blacklist applications, and prohibit some potentially risky behaviors, such as keyboard replacement, USB debugging, safe mode, factory reset, and download mode at startup.

It is important to mention that the military-grade security performance of the Sirin V3 smartphone is its main selling point. Besides, this device also has a multi-layer network security suite, including a behavior and machine learning-based intrusion prevention system (IPS) for real-time active network protection.

Huawei tri-fold foldable

Huawei is all set to launch the world’s first tri-fold foldable smartphone. The company just dropped a bombing teaser, confirming its mega launch event. This massive development comes when Samsung stalls and Apple remains foldable-free.

Samsung showcased tri-fold screen prototype devices on many occasions. It was expected to debut the world’s first triple-screen foldable smartphone. However, Huawei is all set to attain this crown beating Samsung and other vendors.

Huawei confirmed its next hardware launch event taking place on September 10. It’s right a day after Apple’s iPhone 16 unveiling scheduled for September 9. Tri-fold could significantly harm Apple’s presence in the Chinese market.

In addition, Huawei Consumer Business Group Chairman – Yu Chengdong said the company’s most leading, innovative, and disruptive product is coming.

“After 5 years of persistence and investment, we have turned science fiction into reality. Please look forward to Huawei’s pinnacle work!”

Huawei tri-fold foldable

Tri-fold concept previously showcased a device having screens on three sides. The phone will have two hinges, allowing users to expand all three displays. The current foldable features a single hinge in the middle, offering a tablet-like screen size.

Beyond that, the tri-fold phone would offer an even larger screen in a more portable size. Software-derived features could further enhance usability, with one panel being used as a keyboard and others as screen and standing support.

Durability still remains the main concern in this kind of innovative device. Foldable phones launched by Samsung and Huawei are gradually entering the mainstream. However, consumers still refrain from preferring foldable as their next upgrade.

Huawei’s tri-fold could remain a China-exclusive product. Samsung may also come up with its tri-fold handset in the near future. The Display department has worked enough on the panel, but the Mobile division hasn’t yet approved development.
