Vertu Aster P Smartphone
Like a very expensive phoenix emerging from gold-and-sapphire-tipped flames, luxe phone brand Vertu has returned from financial troubles with its latest luxury smartphone. The Aster P is a handmade device with a price tag that reflects that handiwork and the premium materials used to make it. The 4.9-inch display is 133-carat sapphire crystal glass, and there’s a grade-five titanium frame along with a rear panel covered in lizard or crocodile leather. The phones have a midrange Snapdragon 660 processor, a 3,200mAh battery, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Gull-wing doors open to reveal the dual nano-SIM trays. It wouldn’t be a true luxury device without access to a butler, so the personal concierge button is back to provide you with just that, while you can snag invites to exclusive events.
