Dhaka, Mar 06 (V7N) – In the era of globalization and rapid technological advancement, world leaders are increasingly relying on high-security smartphones to protect sensitive communications. Recently, Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Tarique Rahman was seen using a rare high-security smartphone, drawing attention both in the media and on social media.

The Prime Minister was captured by journalists while speaking on the phone inside his car on the way from the Secretariat to his residence in Gulshan. The brief moment, recorded by media cameras, quickly sparked curiosity online about the device he was using.

After analyzing the footage and conducting online searches, it appears that the device used by the Prime Minister is the Sirin Finney, a blockchain-based smartphone produced by technology company Sirin Labs.

Blockchain technology phone

The Sirin Finney is considered one of the world’s first blockchain-enabled smartphones. The device was introduced to the market in May 2018 and generated significant discussion in the technology sector later that year.

The smartphone runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor and the company’s own Sirin OS operating system, designed with a focus on digital security and blockchain integration.

Advanced security features

One of the most notable features of the Sirin Finney phone is its high-level cybersecurity system, which makes it suitable for individuals requiring strict data protection, including high-profile officials.

The device includes a dedicated secure screen. When the user activates the phone for secure transactions or sensitive operations, a separate screen slides out from the top of the device. The phone can only be used after the security code displayed on both screens is verified, providing an additional layer of protection.

According to the manufacturer, the device was developed to provide users with confidence in safeguarding personal data in an increasingly vulnerable digital environment where cyberattacks and hacking threats are rising globally.

Price of the device

Security-focused smartphones produced by Sirin Labs generally range in price from about $999 to $3,500, depending on the model and configuration.

The appearance of such a device in the hands of the Prime Minister highlights the growing importance of secure communication technology for world leaders in an age where digital security has become a critical concern.
