Monohm Inc.’s incredibly weird circular smartphone-cum-pocket-watch -- called ‘Runcible’ -- is now available for preorders on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform. The preorder window for the handset will close on June 30; and the first batch of the device will likely be shipped to backers in September.

The cost of the Runcible smartphone begins at $399. With the design of the Runcible smartphone highlighting Monohm’s focus on sustainability and transparency, the base model of the device will have a back casing made of recycled ocean plastic; while a higher-priced $499 variant of the handset will come with a wooden back.

Some of the key features of the Runcible phone-cum pocket-watch include a 2.5-inch circular display with 256 pixels per inch; a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor; an Adreno 306 GPU; 1GB of RAM; 8GB of onboard storage capacity; and a 7-megapixel rear camera.

The device will also come with 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz WiFi; Bluetooth 4.1; and, probably, 4G LTE, as well as a headset jack and a USB port. It runs Monohm’s ‘BuniOS’ operating system, which is based on Android OS version 5.1.

One of the key selling points for the Runcible smartphone is that it is a connected device which does not irritate the users with notifications or alerts, but allows the users to view notifications/alerts at a glance whenever they want.
