Luxury and security

Switzerland/Israel – Sirin Labs has launched the Solarin, a highly secure smartphone aimed at executives.

• The smartphone is designed to prevent electronic eavesdropping and data theft
• The Solarin features state-of-the-art security software and a minimalist design to appeal to luxury consumers

In today’s hyperconnected world, privacy is increasingly regarded as a luxury. In response, smartphone manufacturers are developing sophisticated products that are designed to prevent cyber attacks and protect sensitive information. The Solarin, priced at £9,400 ($13,800, €12,195) plus tax, is aimed at luxury consumers and features a range of aesthetic options to match its demographic’s lavish tastes.

But behind the gold plating and black diamond inlays lies military-grade software that keeps emails, messages and data secure. Users can flip a switch on the back of the handset to activate Shielded Mode, which encrypts all inbound and outbound calls and messages.
