ON THE LOOK-OUT: SAYGUS V2

THE mobile world moves at lightning speed. Meet the Saygus V2, a smartphone from a little company out of Salt Lake City, Utah with ambitions to take on the biggest names in the business.

Chris Baker, a VP for Saygus, told Gizmag the idea behind developing a new superphone wasn’t to go head-to-head with the likes of Apple and Samsung, so much as it was to build a phone with all the features that consumers want in a single package.

And what a package it is, starting with what seems to be an industry-first wireless HD connection for beaming games and movies direct to a big screen, along with built-in Harmon Kardon 3D sound and 64GB of storage expandable to a total of 320GB via dual MicroSD slots. There’s also a biometric fingerprint scanner on the side of the phone that you simply slide your finger over, a hardware camera shutter button and it is rated IPX7 waterproof.
