Saygus is an American developer of smartphones headquartered in South Jordan, Utah.[1] founded by Chad Sayers.[2]
Saygus developed two smartphone devices: VPhone and V², neither of which were ever released.
History
Saygus' VPhone, featuring a 3.5 inch touchscreen and slide-out keyboard, was first revealed in 2009,[3] but did not go to market. The VPhone was presented at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, winning the Best of Innovations Award in the Wireless Handsets category. [4]
The second device developed by Saygus was named V² (later referred to as V'- but still called the V Squared). The V² smartphone was announced at CES 2015 and was reported to ship in the first quarter of 2015.[5] The device could be pre-ordered directly from Saygus during January 2015. [6]
In June 2015 a crowdfunding campaign was launched for the Saygus V²[7] with the company citing manufacturing issues in delivering the finished product to pre-order customers.[8] In August 2017 it was reported that no devices had been delivered to customers. [9]
