Vertu's new luxury phone gets you into exclusive events

Saturday 26 September 2015 ที่ 17:13
By now, we know phones are more than just phones. You've got your apps, your browsers, your 3D Touch. What about a luxury phone that represents your elite lifestyle?
British luxury phone brand Vertu announced the New Signature Touch on Thursday. Depending on which one you get, from the jet calf model to the pure jet red gold, it starts at $9,000 and goes up to $19,000. You'll also have the option to personalize it with various colors, leathers, rare metals and an engraving.

Each phone is handmade in England. The cases are made from natural hides and leathers, including calfskin, lizard and alligator, all sourced in Europe. The outer casing is Grade 5 Titanium, used in the automotive and aerospace industries. The 5.2-inch 1080p scratchproof screen is made from 130 carat sapphire crystal, and the earpiece pillow is formed with Zirconia.

That's just the flash, though. Let's get into the tech specs. The New Signature Touch runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. The hardware includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor with 64-bit computing on 8 CPU cores, which means faster and smoother usability. The 21 megapixel main camera also has 4K video capture, and there's also a 2.1 megapixel wide aperture front camera. There's also 64GB of internal storage and 4GB of RAM.

The luxury, allegedly, does not stop with the phone. The New Signature Touch comes with exclusive services, making your phone "a passport to a world of possibilities." With the phone comes a complimentary 18-month subscription to Vertu's dedicated concierge service. Contact a lifestyle manager at any time via live chat, email or telephone, and he or she will provide you with worldwide assistance: securing priority bookings, offering personal recommendations and other "local insider knowledge".
You'll get access to exclusive events like fashion shows, members-only clubs, sporting events and cultural experiences like exhibitions and red-carpet events — all because of an overpriced phone.
Lastly, and in probably the most practical of the additional services, you get security features: Remote Assist technology, encrypted communications services, global Wi-Fi connectivity via the iPass network and the Lost Phone Service.

For more details, and purchase.

Vertu Unveils Luxury Android Phones With Handcrafted Leather Infused with Titanium

Friday 25 September 2015 ที่ 17:52
For the rich and powerful, a run-of-the-mill iPhone 6S or Galaxy S6 Edge just won't cut it. Vertu is offering the glamorous crowd a luxury smartphone with high-end specifications with an even higher price tag.
Right off the bat, a Vertu smartphone looks (and likely feels) like a true luxury item with its elegant handcrafted leather and titanium case. The back plate opens via a gull-wing door for ease of access to the nano-SIM slot and MicroSD.
Money can buy a lot of good things and, apparently, this includes better phone specifications. A unit from the Vertue Signature Touch line offers 5.2-inch 1080p (FullHD) LCD display with a virtually shatterproof and scratch-proof Sapphire Crystal glass. Underneath, it runs with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of onboard storage, up to 2TB of expandable storage with a MicroSD card, and a massive 3,160mAh battery.
The camera clocks in at 21 megapixels with f/2.2 aperture, dual-tone LED flash, face detection, auto-focus, and 4K video recording on its rear side. It is coupled with an inferior, but good enough 2.1-megapixel front snapper for the million dollars selfie.
The new model from the European luxury brand also offers support for Quick Charge 2.0, Qi Wireless Charging, and NFC connectivity among many others.
Vertu's smartphones are expensive for a reason. A couple of thousands of dollars will also get you "Dedicated Concierge" or the company's own point-of-contact that acts as a personal assistant. This feature is complimentary for 18 months.

To protect its high profile clientele, Vertu included encrypted communication by Silent Circle and an option to wipe or locate a lost or stolen smartphone. Partnership with iPass provides WiFi connection virtually anywhere in the world.
The phone will also come with subscription to Life or Certainty packages which will be your all-access pass to the world's most glamorous, most exclusive clubs, parties, and closed-door shopping events. Clearly, owning a Vertu phone will instantly grant you A List status.
There are different variations of Vertu Signature Touch units to choose from. The cheapest, entry level unit sells for US$9,000 (about AU$13,000) and it offers a calf leather case in either black or red. Next is a lizard skin smartphone in purple for US$10,100 (about AU$15,000) or black for US$11,200 (around AU$16,00). Moving up to the top of the reptile chain, an alligator skin encased smartphone sells for US$13,000 (approximately AU$18,500) in black, US$14,000 (about AU$20,000) in navy, and US$16,600 (around AU$24,000)in grey.
The most expensive unit is the quilted black calf leather with gold accents and it sells for US$19,000
