It seems like the partnership with TCL has had an effect on Turing as the specifications announced for the device are believable to say the least. The Apionato smartphone will run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8996SG-AC SoC, which appears to be a version of the Snapdragon 821.

The Turing Phone Apionato will feature "amplified intelligence" with a uniquely dedicated enhanced-concierge service, the company said in its release. Turing says that "Amplified Intelligence is the process by which artificial intelligence is used to supplement human intelligence in making decisions and choices, and will be the focus of TRI's intelligence amplification development going forward."

The phone comes with company's "enhanced-concierge" service called Sir Alan that works in conjunction with the AI engine to provide s with suggestions and recommendations on lifestyle and business.

"TRI's Apionato leapfrogged ive voice command search tools of existing smartphones. Inspired by the work of American engineer and inventor Douglas C. Engelbart, TRI will advance amplified intelligence by incorporating the latest developments in AI and in human enhanced-concierge capabilities," Syl Chao, CEO of TRI was quoted as saying by the company.

The phone has been constructed of Liquidmorphium alloy and features diamond-like-carbon coating (DLC), which provides a high-tech ceramic feel and a scratch resistant surface, the company says.

Turing says that it will start shipping the two variants of the smartphone, the elite edition Turing Phone Apionato PX8 and the -luxury edition Turing Phone Apionato GX8, by September this year. The phones have been priced at $1,099 (roughly Rs. 70,800) and $1,599 (roughly Rs. 1.03 lakhs) respectively.

Usually, we ask s to take rumours with a pinch of salt but as we are talking about a company that has previously announced phone with multiple Snapdragon 830 processors, we would ask you to take this announcement with more than a small amount of scepticism. However, TCL is a well known manufacturer currently known for its Alcatel brand and for being BlackBerry licensee, thus this phone may actually hit shelves.
