Vertu is back with vengeance. The luxury mobile phone brand, which used to be wholly-owned by Nokia before selling a majority stake to private equity group EQT VI in October 2012, brings out its first Android-powered phone. Costing 7,900 euros (about US$10,587), the Vertu Ti comes with sapphire glass display with 800 x 480 resolution, a 1.5GHz processor, and a 1,250mAh battery; all encased in a tough titanium frame. There is one thing absent from this luxury phone: 4G connectivity.
“Vertu will never be at the bleeding edge of technology,” Vertu's head of design Hutch Hutchison bluntly told BBC.
