Boeing has reportedly posted details of its much awaited smart phone 'Black', a device that is being manufactured for defense and security customers.

The device that stands 5.2-inches tall, with a 4.3-inch, 540 x 960 display, and weighs 170 grams, also features three bands of LTE, as well as antennas for WCDMA and GSM.

The device runs on dual 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPUs and Google's Android and has a unique security feature that destroys information stored on the phone in the event that someone tries to crack the case open, the Verge reported.

Meanwhile, Boeing is yet to set a price for Black along with a specific release date for the phone, which is reported to be coming soon.
