JERUSALEM: A British-Israeli startup plans to sell a mobile phone from next month that will offer users unprecedented levels of technology and security – and retail for close to US$20,000 (RM78,211). 

Sirin Labs AG said on April 25 it had raised US$72mil (RM281.55mil) in private funds to launch the device, which would be aimed at executives. It plans to open its first store, in London's Mayfair, in May.
