UK-based Vertu is widely regarded as one of the world's leading luxury phone makers, and the Vertu TI, which retails for $9,600, is the company's first entry into the world of smartphones. The Ti, being their flagship phone, runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and comes with a polished Titanium casing as well as a variety of apps and portals that set it distinct from other Android phones. Not only does the phone appear to perform well, but it is also pleasing to the sight.
"For Vertu, the Vertu TI is a pivotal product." "It's where Vertu's timeless design meets cutting-edge technology," explains Ignacio Germade, Vertu's Head of Global Design.
The Vertu TI has a sapphire screen that is "virtually scratch proof and is tested to be four times stronger than other regular smartphones," according to the company. It is available in titanium black leather, pure black, black alligator, or a flashy black titanium red gold (which starts at $19,900). The titanium construction adds to the phone's strength, which is said to be five times stronger than conventional phones.
A 1.7 GHz processor, an 8MP rear camera with twin LED flash and a 1.3MP front-facing Skype-friendly camera, and 64GB of RAM are among the technical features. While those specs aren't new, the hardwiring of Vertu's Ti smartphone is unique in that it includes a real personal assistant. With the touch of a button, you can summon Vertu's Concierge Services, a real person who can assist you with chores such as booking a luxury hotel or making dinner reservations, among other things.
With 11x15mm rectangular speakers that are "acoustically integrated into the chassis to maximise frequency response and level," the Vertu TI offers some impressive sonic capabilities. The phone was put through its paces at the audio facilities of Bang & Olufsen in Denmark, with musical punctuation provided by the London Symphony Orchestra. "I've never heard a phone sound like this," Forbes contributor Jack Forster says. "Not just in terms of volume, but also in terms of clarity and richness."
Each Vertu TI is handcrafted and autographed by a single craftsman in England before being distributed to buyers through one of over 500 retailers around the world. The Vertu TI with live concierge is an ultra-luxury mobile that will not let you down.
