The SIKURPhone is an $800 smartphone and cryptocurrency wallet
If you’ve amassed a fortune in cryptocurrencies, you probably don’t keep it all (or any of it) on your mobile phone. But a company called Sikur wants you to reconsider that. The same company that made the GranitePhone from 2015, if you even remember it.

We’re slowly edging closer to the March 27 launch event of the Huawei P20 series in Paris, so naturally one would think that the leaks might finally stop. Nope. A new poster shown off at MWC basically confirms everything we already knew, but I suppose we’ll take another look at it.
