If you think that owning an iPhone indicates high social standing, then you have never heard of Vertu. It is an Android phone manufactured by a British company of the same name. Its newest iteration - the New Signature Touch - was unveiled last Thursday in London and the cheapest variant has a staggering $11,000 price tag, with the priciest going as high as $26,000.
Looking at the spec sheet, it would seem that Vertu is not that exceptional from today's sea of flagship Android devices. It has a 5.2-inch 1080p display and is powered by an 810 Snapdragon octacore processor and 4GB of RAM. Sure, the internals are top-notch, but the same can be said about the technology inside Samsung Galaxy S6 or the latest Xperia Z5 Premium, as HNGN previously reported.
