Let the story continue…
After receiving such an enthusiastic interest from the press and from the public, we wanted to make sure the success story of the P18K would continue. By launching this unique smartphone on IndieGogo, we’re ensuring that anyone who wants to get it can easily order it.
What makes the P18K so special?
Unparalleled Battery Life
A recent survey by Morning Consult has revealed that something much more practical than most current innovation is at the top of smartphone users' wish lists. According to the survey, longer battery life is the most important feature for American smartphone owners, ahead of usability, storage, and durability (Statista, Feb 2019)
The P18K incorporates unrivalled technological advances as it features the most powerful battery ever developed for a smartphone, offering a concrete solution to the needs of the modern day smartphone users. The carefully selected software and operating system help extend battery life, promising a seamless consumer experience.
The P18K will be the biggest crowd pleaser, given that its users will be able to make up to 90 hours of calls, listen to 100 hours of music and watch around 2 days of video on a single charge. In standby mode, the battery lasts up to 50 days, perfect for long trips where access to power may be limited. And when a full charge is necessary, users can recharge their device quickly thanks to the fast charge feature and the fast charger provided.
The P18K also offers a power bank functionality to easily charge other devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Five Cameras for Amazing Shots
Nothing has been left behind when designing the P18K as cameras also boast some innovative features. This unique smartphone is among the first to feature five cameras, of which TWO are front-facing in the slide-across "pop-up" housing. The 16MP and 2MP lenses promise users sharp and bright selfies.
The P18K features 3 rear cameras (12MP + 5MP + 2MP), which together produce incredibly bright shots with stunning depth of field and a professional finish.

Challenges
At present, we have an initial functioning prototype of the P18K that we built with our industrial design partners and that was presented and tested at the Mobile World Congress 2019.
Our teams are now working to finalise mechanical engineering, PCB and radio electronics for the P18K. We’ll also be working with our factory to launch the mass production.
Our aim is to have the product available for shipping to the first backers of our campaign in October 2019. We will be providing our backers with regular updates on the P18K's progress.
Please note that there are inherent risks during the production process that may be beyond our control, including but not limited to:
•Certification delays
•Production delays
•Supply Chain/Mass Production
