The last few years for Turing Robotics Industries (TRI) have been… complicated, chaotic even. The company’s debut device, the Turing Phone, was highly anticipated by many thanks to some bold claims Turing made, but all the hype turned out to be for nothing, as the company struggled to meet milestones and left most of its customers disappointed. Since then, Turing moved to Finland, inexplicably switched from Android to Sailfish OS, and teased two phones with – quite literally – unbelievable spec sheets (more on this later).

It sounds like the company might have a solution in the works for those wanting a watch with great endurance.

One thing you’re practically guaranteed to hear most Android fans say is how much better the stock version of the operating system is compared to the skins that Samsung, HTC, and others put on their devices.

The changes are a direct result of an erroneous alert issued in 2018 that said a ballistic missile was headed towards Hawaii. You might not remember a specific instance, but pretty much every smartphone owner in the United States can remember getting an insanely loud national or state-wide alert on their phone.
