Plinius the Elder, after whom the smartphone is named:
Gaius Plinius Secundus Maior, also known as Pliny the Elder (born 23 or 24 AD in Novum Comum, now Como; died August 24 or October 24 AD, 79 AD in Stabiae on the Gulf of Naples), was a Roman scholar, officer, and administrator, best known for his Naturalis Historia, an encyclopedic work on natural history.
Made in Germany for durability, longevity, and environmental protection
The selection of high-quality components and automated manufacturing with state-of-the-art robotics, under expert supervision and control, results in a durable product.
In-house firmware development and maintenance ensure the long-term availability of security and feature updates. The battery can be replaced by the user should it become weak.
The Google-free Android Volla system provides up to 80% less data traffic than conventional smartphones. This eliminates or reduces the strain on data centers, which consume the energy of entire cities.
The Volla Cloud uses distributed data processing across replaced devices instead of data centers, offering not only ecological and economic advantages but also the highest security standards, utilized by the Volla Messages app.
