So maybe I will start with price - €3 900 or $4 200.
What we get for that?
System: Android 5.1;
Screen: 4,7" 1080p;
SoC: Snapdragon 801 (4@2,3GHz);
RAM: 2GB;
Storage: 64GB + microSD;
Cameras: 13+2,1MP;
Battery: 2275mAh;
Others: wireless charging;
Size: 143.4x69x11.2mm;
Weight: 193g.
So with insides nothing justifu this price. So why is so damn high? Ther are two main reasons:
first of all it's materials used in external part of phone - titanium frame, chevron finish and sapphire glass on display,
secondary it's mark and it's elite feal.
Does we need something like this? No but there are some that like to show they can and Vertu is one of companies for this kind of people.
As a bonus - it's one of cheapest models in Vertu portfolio, most expensive is Red Gold Ultimate Black for €29 000 or $32 285 so yeah...
