For the discerning gent in the market for a new smartphone and when Apple or Samsung simply won’t do for the kind of luxury desired by the gadget aficionado then there is only one brand worth looking at, Vertu.
The British luxury mobile handset maker has added to its range, this time the Signature Touch series, with the powerfully named new Pure Jet Red Gold model. Elysium Magazine takes a look at the latest piece of executive tech set to get the tongues wagging in the boardroom.
At first glance the Pure Jet Red Gold comes across as classier and slicker in style compared to previous Vertu models. For the discerning gent looking for a more subtle piece of flash tech, this is the one – made of understated grade 5 titanium sides and a black PVD-coated titanium back plate. It’s then tightly wrapped in refined fine-mill calf leather – sourced from the Alpine region of Europe for good measure. See what we mean by slicker?
Technical specs start to merge with predecessors – a 4.7inch 1080p display, 2GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 801 2.3GHz quad core processor providing the muscle. There’s a 13MP Hasselblad camera with a sapphire crystal lens that’s virtually scratch-proof, of which the screen is made of the same tough material. As with others in the Vertu range (like the Aster) the Pure Jet Red Gold comes with ring tones created by the London Symphony Orchestra and the sound is tuned by audio specialists’ Bang & Olufsen. That’s quite a line up of features.
Of course, if the discerning gent is planning on spending this much money for a handset he’d want more. With Vertu you get it. By this we mean the 24 hour worldwide personal concierge service – you get a full 12 months as standard along with a dedicated personal lifestyle manager and team expertise – all with a single press of that magic Vertu button.
And just why is it called the Pure Jet Red Gold? The handset has solid red gold features on the volume control keys, power/lock key and pillow support. That’s why!
