The luxurious Motorola AURA

Stylish and sleek would define the new AURA by Motorola. (Yes…finally a handset that looks different from the box type iPhones and Nokias!)

Discerning feature:

The AURA has the FIRST EVER circular LCD display with colours and 300 dpi resolution and a Grade 1, 62-carat sapphire crystal lens.

Encased in stainless steel housing, the AURA has textures and patterns chemically etched into its surface. The Swiss-made main bearing, gears composed of Rockwell 50-55 hardened steel and 130 precision ball bearings work in tandem to drive the assisted-opening blade. Motorola likens the effect to that of opening a luxury car door rather than accessing a mobile device. Its custom-engineered rotating mechanism is composed of more than 200 high-precision individual parts, and the gears are protected from harsh conditions with the same coatings used in high-performance racing engines.
