Vertu, a company that designs and crafts mobile phones that only the filthy rich without care for specs would consider buying, has just released the new Vertu Constellation that costs more than a quarter-mil.

Powering the device is a 1.7Ghz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, Adreno 320 GPU, 1,800 mAh battery, and Android 4.2 Jellybean. All of those are housed in a body that is made of grade 5 titanium and swathed in luxurious calf leather.
The Vertu Constellation has a price tag of 4,900 Euros or around Php287,000USD 4,890INR 414,600EUR 4,658CNY 35,617 and is available in Black, Cappuccino, Orange, Mocha, and Raspberry colors.

sinned says:
This company is insane. I thought my eyes are playing trick or Globe just make a mistake when I see this in their list of device online.
Si Napoles lng makaka afford nito. Lol..
kokoy says:
VERTU Mahal talaga yan pang alta
Johnny says:
May nag comment dito na naka vertu daw siya eh, just waiting for him to come back :))))))
Mr. Curious says:
and this people is what you call a rich man’s phone, and not an iPhone.
ARAGORN says:
Mga bobo, NOKIA pa rin ang maker ng vertu! in fact halos NOKIA din may hawak ng company na ito. kaya kung quality lang pag-uusapan sa smartphone, NOKIA naman talga ang number 1! mahal nmn tlga yang vertu of nokia kasi rare stones and elements ang naadyan di kagaya sa cheap nyong plastic :D its display is made of sapphire crystal and its body is crafted with titanium.
eggi says:
..mga katulad lng ni Napoles ang makakabili nyan.. & kahit mayaman aq, pota, hindi aq bibili nyan..
procyon! says:
Kaya daw mahal kase pwede ka magtransform into masked rider!!! Rider change!!!! Ahahahahahahahahahaha
ReaperMaya says:
Would have been more appealing kung hindi lang materials and maganda. pati specs din sana. tsss
FanBoy says:
Boom! It’s not about the phone, it’s about the price. Boom!
Jesson says:
What kind of material Vertu Constellation made off and it’s costs more than a quarter-mil in our peso value. Is that made of gold, diamond or what. I’m really wondering. I think the only personalities to afford that for a mobile phone are those who cares nothing for money, because they don’t get to drift a sweat to have that. They just steal it from the masses. Politician will do I think, those crocks…

Mga g@go. Tingin niyo ganun ka cheap ako??? Cheap mga android.

Kevin says:
The real question is: Will it blend?
wide says:
just widen your horizon and you will unserstand why there are luxuries in life like this phone. your nokia 101 may be a luxury for a very poor man. so just be cool about it. it’s just a gadget for pete’s sake!!!
Mac says:
Anong sinabi ng mga mayayabang na naka iphone dito sa gadget na ito?
Anonymous says:
Not for Napoles types…
For the Russian Mafia who are eating caviar and drinking red wine leiseurely every day, Sheikh’s who are holding the Oil in the middle east and Chinese Businessmen who rip off other country’s innovation.
Or for those who can actually appreciate the beauty of these phones. These Phones put Materials used over the speed wars mainstream phones argue over. These phones also come with the best assistant application ever: A Real Living Breathing human. Yep, comes with someone who will assist you over the phone so that surely beats Siri.
JTC_Mudra says:
It could have been priced that way if it incorporated high specs. But it didn’t. Not 64mb, not 40+ up megapixels, high-end resolution etc…But then again it’s just the material that made it pricey…not the specs.
jay says:
It’s like an LV bag. Its very pricey, but its still a bag.
anon666 says:
panalo na sana kung pati specs maganda din… tsk tsk…
Greg says:
Vertu has, and will always be out of reach to common folks like us. They hold the title of making the largest sapphire glass displays in the world and using rubies for the keypads and titanium for the bodies.

Justin says:
So Vertu justifies the P250k difference (from a typical hi-end Android phone) by slapping a sapphire crystal display and titanium body? Hehehe… Ludicrous.
abuzalzal says:
Not even a gem like Ruby imbedded around the bezels? C’mon you gotta offer waaay more than that
1,800 mAh battery? HA! Is that enough to last you sa mga non-stop trans-atlantic fights at private cruises habang nakiki-pag chikahan sa mga ka-sosyo at nag ba-browse sa mga next target Hotels na pupuntahan? not even close
PATAWA ang VERTU
I would still laugh at its ludicrous price even if I’m a millionaire
abuzalzal says:
Vertu forgot that RICH people are on their phone most of the time
Kinuripot yung battery eh = epic FAIL
IOS7 says:
Henry Sy can buy this!!! Ahahahaha
Iyan Sommerset says:
While the price is still sickeningly ridiculous, at least they’ve cut the diamond/gold-bling out and focused more on actual useful-but-expensive materials like the screen and the body. A bit skeptical of the leather though – that seems too much like an insulator which means it won’t do much good for the phone’s heat-venting capability.

mga unggoy! anything that is HANDCRAFTED mahal ang presyo .. yang ang mindset ng mga european countries. maliban nalang dito sa pinas na 10 pesos na handcrafted wood carving babaratin nyo pa ng 5 petot..
Comment ko to! says:
Ang dami palang mga “technical writers” dito! Walang magawa. Maiba pa, dami ring nagsasabi na “kahit milyonaryo ako” hindi ko ‘yan bibilhin. Eh subukan niyo muna maging milyonaryo. Totoo nga mahal ang phone pero para sa mga may kaya ‘yan. Eh anong problema kung may pambili sila? Sa totoo lang, wala akong pambili nito pero wala naman akong masabi sa mga taong bibili nito. Kasi kaya nila. Para sa mga katulad ko diyan na walang pambili eh unahin nalang ang bigas! Putek nakaka praning basahin puro kayabangan at kagaguhan. May ibang comment dito na may “sense” kaya sana yung mga walang kwentang comment delete nalang o kaya wag nang mag post. Kasi I read yugatech araw araw na siyang kaya ko lang ma afford na pag libangan – at sa walang pagkakahiya kong inaamin, tapos ang comments niyo lang ang nakaksira nang aking araw. Naku naman.
