For most people, owning a Lamborghini supercar is a fantasy, but those of us outside of the top tax bracket can at least own a Lamborghini Alpha-One. Far from an elegant luxury speedster, the Alpha-One is a new Lamborghini-branded luxury smartphone.
The Lamborghini Alpha-One comes with high-end mobile specs, including a 5.5 inch WQHD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 gigabtyes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of storage, a 20-megapixel rear-facing camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, and more. It's also decked out with liquid metal finishing, handmade Italian leather, and Lamborghini's logo embedded beneath the fingerprint scanner.
To be sure, the Lamboghini Alpha-One is an expensive device, even when compared to other high-end smartphones. Currently priced at $2,450, it's nearly double the price of comparable smartphones in terms of technical specs.
