The smartphone was produced by a start-up based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Saygus V2 is fitted with an industry-first wireless HD connection that beams games and movies directly to a big screen. It also features built-in [Harmon Kardon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xgmi-horizon-pro-4k) 3D sound. The phone's 5-inch front display is 1,920 x 1,080 full HD at 445 pixels per inch.
