Elephone are working on a secured U-disk with a fingerprint scanner


The Elephone engineers are busy even during the summer months and the brand portfolio is quickly growing and growing. The latest piece into the puzzle is a new U-disk flashdrive with a fingeprint based security and encoded data.

With a secure flashdisk storage they want to offer something to the paranoid clients worried about possible intrusion and thanks to the fingeprint scanner the amount of security is going to be pretty high.

Gizchina News of the week


The flashdisk storage will be divided in two parts (public and private) and while the public partition is going to work like a normal flashdrive the private sector is going to be encoded and secured with the fingeptint recognition. The Elephone U-disk should be made from a quality metal material and they also promised quite fast and sensitive fingerprint scanner sensor. The flashdisk should be compatible with devices all across the board with Android, Windows, MacOS and Linux support.

    Despite their generally shit products, I think that with a (highly unlikely) change of management, revamping their entire quality control line (also unlikely) they could be a decent company.

    Of course, they would have to change their name into something less ridiculous…

    This is actually a pretty cool sounding gadget. Whether it’ll work or not is a mystery, but it seems like a great idea.

    Another useless gimmick. Already many existing encrypted flash drives out there that will do a much better job.

          “For the price? Good enough” Your standards sure is low huh. Haha. For their prices, there are obviously many other better alternatives that we could list down rather easily. They are definitely not the best, one of the worst to be more accurate.

    After looking through the accounts below. only probably 2 are legit commenters. The rest are just Elephone minions to create heat for Elephone topics. It’s too obvious. These guys are getting ridiculous, Gizchina…

    So the security has been improved so much, now after fingerprint sensors in smartphones we are going to have a fingerprint sensor in flash drive 😀

    Knowing Elephone the fingerprint will stop working in a couple of days and you can say sayonara to your important files.

      Imagine Jason Bourne with a secured flashdisk from Elephone…

      “Damn ! This shit has probably been hacked by the CIA, I saved data yesterday and it’s already unreadable” While CIA is laughing at his ass ’cause he bought an Elephone product.
