Teracube does NOT support Verizon. Teracube is not part of Verizon’s BYOD program. This is why it is not listed as a supported carrier.

Teracube has a Dual rear camera setup (12+5 MP Samsung sensor). This configuration allows it to take beautiful shots both in daylight as well as night. The front camera is 8MP and is ready to take amazing selfies in all situations.

Teracube will receive 3 years of Android and security updates. We plan to release updates every 3 months. Android 10 is scheduled to arrive in Spring 2020.

Teracube runs on stock Android 9.0 Pie and will be upgraded to Android 10 in spring 2020.

Each Teracube unit contains the Teracube smartphone, biodegradable case, USB-C cable, and pre-installed screen protector.
We have subjected our test units through some rough handling and drops. The included case has handled them pretty well.
A tempered glass screen protector (factory installed) will be included as well. The screen protector is oleophobic (anti-fingerprint) and makes Teracube much more durable.

Our vision is to reduce the environmental and social impact of devices by making them last longer, ethically sourcing their components and making sure that they are manufactured in best possible labor conditions.
We wanted to get started somewhere though rather than getting everything in one go. Our current focus is to make a great phone that everyone can use and make it last way longer than the industry. We will fully repair and refurbish every returned device. This way we are able to offer a timely response to someone who is in need of a working phone, while still continuing to repair them.

Yes – there is a Display setting to “hide” the notch. It makes the status bar black with inverted icons so that the display seems a true rectangle.
