About Sirin
Sirin (full name Sirin Labs) is a new entrant to the mobile technology arena and it claims to have one simple goal, "to bring tomorrow to our customers, today". After two years of R&D, Sirin Labs launched its first smartphone in 2016 - the Solarin.
But if Sirin Labs, the creator of the ultrapricey Solarin phone, has its way, a little switch on the back will bring celebrities, government officials and other Very Powerful and Important People flocking. Rich people, who have plenty of cash to spare.
Meet the luxury phone for the super-rich and super-paranoid
The switch in question turns on an enhanced security mode that encrypts messages and limits much of the Android phone's hardware and software capabilities. You would use this when sharing extremely sensitive information, the kind of heady stuff that Sirin Labs imagines would make Solarin owners a target for hackers.
To that end, the company joined with two other security firms, Zimperium to guard against threats, and Koolspan, which boasts military-grade chip-to-chip encryption with 256-bit AES. Security support waits on 24-hour standby.
Solarin isn't meant for the mass market, which is probably the only thing saving it from being a complete farce. Its core customers are "international business travelers that spend much of their lives on the move," Sirin Labs CEO Tal Cohen told CNN.

The phone comes in four styles, which become increasingly more expensive depending on the material. For example, the crystal white-carbon variant -- which has black diamond, black crystal, white carbon and leather -- costs $15,900 before taxes. If you really wanted to, you could buy the Solarin now online or at a few stores in London.
