New ‘liquidmorphium’ Turing Phone claims to be ultra-secure and stronger than steel

The premium Turing Phone promises world-class security through a chip on the phone.

What do liquidmorphium and late British cryptographer Alan Turing have in common? They’re both key selling points for the Turing Phone, a new Android 5.0 Lollipop handset aimed at keeping your data extremely secure.

What’s this liquidmorphium stuff?

Apparently, it’s “an amorphous alloy of zirconium, copper, aluminum, nickel and silver” whose atomic structure is more like glass than like aluminum or steel.

Turing Robotic Industries CEO S.Y.L. Chao says that production uses a lot less waste, making this a greener option than more traditional methods. In addition, the resultant metal chassis is stronger than aluminum and steel, and has a shiny darker metal look.

At the end of the day, I suspect that liquidmorphium won’t have much bearing on whether or not you want to buy it, but I will admit that at least it’s fun to say. Try it with me, now: liquidmorphium. Terrific.
