A few more details about the supersecure Blackphone surfaced on Monday, most notably that Nvidia’s 2GHz quad-coreTegra 4i chipset will power the privacy-focused handset.
The processor, which is based on ARM’s Cortex-A9 r4 CPU, contains 60 GPU cores, and an integrated i500 LTE modem.
Blackphone’s maker, SGP Technologies, has also announced the phone’s front-facing camera spec, a 5-megapixel shooter on the phone face.
Other specs include a 4.7-inch screen with 1,280×800-pixel resolution, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, 16GB of onboard storage, and 1GB of RAM.
