The Motorola Aura is something special and something Motorola should be proud of, inspired by high end watches, the phone’s switch blade design alone is driven by real mechanical gears of Rockwell 50-55 hardened steel and 130 precision ball bearings-working in tandem drive the phone’s assisted-opening blade, custom-engineered rotating mechanism, 200 high precision individual parts used to open the handset up to an estimated 100,000 times before failure.

Motorola AURA

The Motorola AURA also features a 2 megapixel camera and 2GB of internal storage to store your photos in. The 1.5″ diameter circular display is also an industry first, capable of displaying 16 million colors with 300 DPI resolution. Bluetooth 2.0 is on board, with A2DP support for stereo headsets, as well.

The display is the product of fine crafting as well. Just 1.55-inches in diameter, this “word’s first” circular cellphone screen features 16 million colors and 300 dpi clarity, plus it’s coated with 62-carat sapphire crystal to prevent scratching and the main casing is made from stainless steel to give you the weight and feel of luxury.

This hand-sculpted cell phone is also equipped with Stereo Bluetooth connectivity to keep your hands on both wheels while you’re driving despite carrying out a conversation over the Motorola AURA.

The Motorola AURA main features include:

• Swiss-Made Main Bearing - At the center of the mechanical heart is a Swiss-made main bearing, which serves as the foundation allowing the blade to rotate with seamless precision
• Meticulously Crafted - Stainless steel housing with chemically etched textures and patterns takes nearly two weeks to sculpt, etch and polish
• 700+ Individual Components - Comprised of features including up-scaled, nickel-chrome-plated exposed screws
• 62 Carat Lens - created from Grade 1 62-carat sapphire crystal, one of the most scratch-resistant materials on earth
• Custom-Engineering - Custom-engineered rotating mechanism has 130 precision ball bearings that drive the assisted-opening blade — like opening the door on a high-end luxury car. On the 100,000th opening, the blade glides with the same fluidity and grace that it did on its first
• Tungsten Carbide Coated Gears - Gears composed of Rockwell 50-55 hardened steel are protected with the same coating used in high-performance racing engines
• Aluminum Keypad - Individual aluminum keys are formed, anodized, spin-finish applied and assembled
• CrystalTalk™ Technology - CrystalTalkTM technology delivers supreme clarity and deep resonance to every single conversation an AURA owner has, even in noisy environments
• Mirror Polish Finish - PVD coating, the same used when making luxury watches, gives AURA its polished, mirrored shine
