The hardware
Designed to stand apart.
Matte graphite with a dark metallic frame, a restrained blue edge light, and three vertically stacked rear cameras beneath a metallic Q. The branding sits quietly at the bottom of the back panel.
Illuminated frame
A thin electric-blue edge light traces the metallic frame beside a dark, near-borderless display.

Intelligence
Meet Splendor AI.
Intelligence built into your phone.
A built-in assistant designed to help you understand, create, and get things done—with clear control over what it can access and where supported tasks are processed.
Planned use cases
- Summarize selected notes and documents.
- Draft, rewrite, and translate text.
- Find information within content you have explicitly permitted.
- Turn instructions you approve into reminders and useful actions.
- Explain app permissions and security settings.
- Help you understand a wallet transaction before you approve it.
AI explanations are intended as help, not authority. The wallet's own transaction details remain the record you approve.

Select a sample above to see how a Splendor AI reply is intended to look, including where the request would be processed.
Ask or speak — concept input, not active
Demonstration only — sample responses, no live AI service
On-device
For supported local models and tasks.
Selected capabilities are intended to run on the phone. Final offline support depends on the model and implementation, so not every feature is expected to work without a network.
Network-powered
For optional access to additional models.
Optional access to additional models through the planned Splendor AI ecosystem. When information would leave the device, the phone is designed to show it and ask permission first.
The permission philosophy
- Ask before accessing personal content.
- Ask before sending information to network services.
- Confirm before sending messages, spending money, or changing sensitive settings.
- Never expose wallet seeds or signing keys to the assistant.
Network processing means a provider handles your request. Decentralized routing is not a promise of anonymity, and access is not planned to be unlimited or free forever.
More models. More choice.
Access to a broader Splendor AI model ecosystem is a roadmap direction, not a shipping feature. No phone-based mining, automatic income, or token rewards are planned.
Quantum
Built for the post-quantum era.
Today's phones rely heavily on public-key cryptography designed before practical quantum computers existed. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could threaten widely used RSA and elliptic-curve systems.
Q Phone is being designed differently from the beginning — using post-quantum cryptography for supported identity, signing, blockchain and communication functions rather than waiting for a future retrofit.
NIST finalized its primary post-quantum standards in 2024 and recommends organizations begin migrating. ML-KEM is used for establishing shared secrets; ML-DSA is used for digital signatures.
Why quantum matters
Encrypted today. Vulnerable tomorrow?
Information captured today can potentially be stored for years and attacked later, when more capable quantum computers exist. This threat model is often called Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.
Q Phone is being designed to protect supported long-lived identities and communications before that future arrives.
- Today
Encrypted information intercepted
Traffic protected with classical public-key cryptography is captured in transit.
- Stored
Held indefinitely
Captured material costs almost nothing to archive and wait on.
- Future
Capable quantum computer
A sufficiently powerful machine changes the cost of breaking classical public-key systems.
- Result
Classical public-key security may become vulnerable
Long-lived identities, keys and archived conversations are the most exposed.
Post-quantum protection from the start
Supported Q Phone identity, signing and Q Connect functions are being designed on post-quantum algorithms rather than migrated to them later.
The cryptography
Two standards. One architecture.
ML-DSA
Quantum-resistant signatures
Used for proving that a supported transaction or identity action was authorized by the holder of the private key.
ML-KEM
Quantum-resistant key establishment
Designed to let two devices establish shared secret material in a way intended to resist attacks from future quantum computers.
Based on post-quantum cryptographic standards published by NIST. Hybrid classical + post-quantum modes are planned where interoperability requires them.
Splendor integration
Secured by Splendor.
Splendor isn't simply a wallet application installed on Q Phone. The planned architecture integrates Splendor into QOS as a security and verification layer for supported transactions, identities and digital actions.
Private keys remain protected on the device. The device signs. Splendor verifies.

Scope
What is actually protected?
Being honest about the boundary is part of the design. Planned protection applies to supported Q functions — not to every component of a phone.

- Third-party appsTheir own security model
Planned scope, subject to change. No independent audit or certification is being claimed.
Q Connect
Calls built for tomorrow.
Q Connect is the planned secure communication layer for Q Phone. Supported Q-to-Q communications are intended to use end-to-end encryption with post-quantum key establishment, while clearly identifying when a conversation falls outside the Q Connect security boundary.
Not just messaging. A post-quantum security architecture spanning identity, transactions, wallet security and supported communications.

Clearing it up
No quantum computer required.
Q Phone doesn't contain a quantum computer. Post-quantum cryptography consists of algorithms designed to run on conventional hardware while resisting known attacks expected from future quantum computers.

Q PhoneQ Vault
Your keys belong in hardware.
Q Vault is being designed so supported Splendor signing keys can be generated, protected and used through dedicated secure hardware rather than exposed to ordinary applications.
Dedicated protected signing hardware is under evaluation. Final hardware integration is not confirmed.

Security
Security with a purpose.
Q Phone is being designed around protected identities, clear transaction approvals, and post-quantum cryptography for supported Splendor features.
Layer 1
QOS
The Android-based operating-system foundation.
Layer 2
Q Vault
Planned protected key storage and signing.
Layer 3
Splendor
Verification and settlement for supported identities and transactions.
Blockchain integration supports specific capabilities. It does not make every hardware component, app, connection, or carrier service quantum-resistant — ordinary calls and SMS still follow carrier standards.
Planned modules
Q Vault
Hardware-protected signing and key management, subject to final hardware integration and validation.
Q Wallet
Native Splendor assets and transactions, with clear approval screens and a carefully designed recovery experience.
Q Identity
Application and device identity features, with privacy-conscious verification.
Q Connect
Planned encrypted communication features within supported Q Connect applications.
Q Security
A clear dashboard for software-update status, permissions, and supported security protections.
Use it as a phone. Explore more when you choose.
Buying tokens or connecting a wallet is not intended to be a requirement for ordinary phone use. The phone is not designed to need a blockchain connection to boot, call, or message.
No independent security audit or certification is being claimed. Private content is not intended to be stored on a public blockchain.
QOS
Familiar where it matters.
Different where it counts.
QOS is the planned Android-based experience for Q Phone: the phone you already know how to use, with Splendor tools integrated where they help.
A familiar smartphone experience
Android foundations, standard gestures, and a clean launcher.
Integrated intelligence
Splendor AI reachable from the home screen, with clear processing labels.
Clearer control
Permissions, update status, and supported protections in one place.
A focused interface
Uncluttered by default, with less noise between you and the task.
Broad compatibility with mainstream Android applications is a development objective, not a guarantee. No store certification, banking-app support, or partner relationship is being claimed.
Concept UI
Q Wallet
Your assets, held on the device that protects them.
Q Wallet is planned as a built-in part of QOS rather than a separate download, with keys kept inside the device's secure hardware. Balances, transfers and swaps shown here are concept renders of the intended experience.
