Gresso Regal Black now official, built with Titanium and Gold

Luxury smartphone makers have been announcing a lot as of the late. We’ve seen Lamborghinis and Vertus and even Blackberries, and Swiss handset maker Gresso wants to catch up as it announced a new premium device to add to its portfolio: the Regal Black.

This new titanium and optional 18-carat gold-laden smartphone, which the design may remind you of an iPhone 5/5s, sports a 5-inch 1080p display, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 13-megapixel camera. These phones are handcrafted, and takes eight hours just for the grade 5 solid titanium unibody case, a material also used in aerospace and high-end sports cars, to be milled. Sadly though, there’s no info on what specific processor, Android version, nor battery capacity the phone has.
