Tech Desk January 25, 2017

British smartphone-maker Vertu has of late announced its latest luxury device which will probably cost you an arm and a leg.

Called the Constellation, the smartphone is handmade using exquisite material such as anodised aluminium, wrapped in soft leather that's specifically sourced from a "family-run" tannery in Italy.

Vertu’s new smartphone doesn’t fall short on its internal specs either. It has a 5.5 inch Quad HD display and fingerprint reader the supports NFC for Android Pay. A 12-megapixel rear camera backed by 128GB of internal storage and 3,220mAh battery means the smartphone is well equipped to take and store great pictures and videos.

The luxury-maker, however, hasn’t yet revealed how much its new smartphone would cost though judging from the fact that its earlier Signature Touch phone started at $8,140 you can bet it won't come cheap.
