Ever since the smartphone market experienced a grand
boom, a number of companies have tried to venture in manufacturing their own
version of a smartphone. There are some
companies that succeeded in making it big like Apple and Samsung, and there too
are those which came to realize that this kind of industry is not their niche,
but there are those that kept a steady pace, focusing more on the product
itself, not on generating millions or billions in revenue.
Once example of companies that produces the
top-quality mobile phones is Vertu. It is a British manufacturer and retailer
of luxury mobile phones. The Vertu Constellation is the second Android device of
the smartphone manufacturer, after the Ti. The Constellation is ingenuously
like no other. It is crafted from the best quality materials there are. Its
screen is a tough sapphire glass that is scratch-free. Plus, it is encased in
genuine calf leather that fits on Grade 5 titanium body that is stronger and
lighter than steel, which is used in the majority of smartphones. It comes in
five different colors: black, dark brown, orange, light brown, and cherry. With
an exterior like this, who needs a protective case?
Massimiliano Pogliani, Vertu’s CEO, believes that
less is more. He said, “In terms of design and appearance, it is being luxury
but not to bling, too wild, too pushy, so I’m very happy and very confident.”
The handheld device is handmade, making sure that it passes on the scrutiny and
meticulous evaluation of the people who manufacture the device.
The Vertu Constellation comes with a slightly
customized Android 4.2 OS, which runs on a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 SoC.
It has a 4.3-inch 720p diagonal display, which is larger than the iPhone 5s but
small enough to be classified as a phablet. A 13-megapixel back camera with
dual LED flash and a 1.3-megapixel front camera are built in the Constellation
to capture quality images. It is powered by a 1,800mAh battery, which is sad to
say not enough to provide a long-lasting battery life. Good thing, the
Constellation already utilizes the NFC technology, unlike the iPhone 5s. And
last but not the least, the built-in storage capacity; it has a 32GB memory
that is just enough for an average consumer and not for a download freak. You
can get all these for ONLY €4,900 or $6630. Now, that’s a hefty price! This
certainly isn’t a cheap mobile phone.
In terms of specs, it certainly can’t compete
against the other flagship phones of top tech companies. Simply put, this
handheld device may not capture the interest of the tech-savvy consumers out
there. Rather, it caters more on the elite in order for them to showcase their
extravagance through a mobile phone. This may not serve as a wise investment,
but you’re sure to be a cut above the rest with this on hand.
