Sirin Finney phone pops up hidden second screen for cryptocurrency security

The Finney is named after Bitcoin pioneer Hal Finney, and is described as a "state of the art mobile device" for the "blockchain era." The handset bears a passing resemblance to its predecessor, but aside from one pretty nifty hardware feature, it's what's inside the phone that counts.

Slide out the back and you'll find a secondary display, called the Safe Screen, that's only used for crypto transactions.

The slider also activates the cold storage wallet that is designed to hold a significant number of different cryptocurrencies.

The other big notable feature, however, is Token Conversion Service (TCS), which is way to overcome the Balkanized nature of cryptocurrencies.
