Vertu, the market leader in luxury mobile phones, has unveiled its latest touchscreen smartphone powered by Android, making this its first handset that does not utilize the Symbian operating system since its acquisition by Nokia— Until October 2012, Vertu had been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Finnish manufacturer.
Encased in grade 5 titanium for lightweight carrying experience — "light" but still substantial, just like how a well-made watch feels on your wrist — the Vertu Ti also features leather accents as well as the largest sapphire crystal screen ever engineered at 3.7 inches.
The sapphire crystal renders the screen virtually scratch proof and it is tested to be four times stronger than other smart phones in terms of impact resistance, protecting beneath it, a high resolution display.
These aspects are indicative of the advanced material innovation of the luxury phone maker, with the top of the range made with 18 carat red gold, black titanium, ceramic and leather.
