Luxurious Titanium Alloy Smartphones

Vertu Has Returned With Two New Distinctly Luxe Designs

— October 23, 2018 — Tech
Founded as a luxury handset maker, Vertu has finally returned and recently debuted two new devices at a launch event in Beijing. Known as the Aster P Baroque and the Aster P Gothic, both handsets are quite luxurious and unmistakably Vertu. Both devices feature a quality titanium alloy frame, as well as a sapphire glass screen, and back panels crafted from real leather.

The two phones also feature Vertu's traditional 'ruby' button which connects the user to a 24/7 concierge service. This service is available worldwide and provides an added layer of personalized service to the devices. Both smartphones also include distinct gull wing-style doors which act as a cover for the SIM card slot.
