British manufacturer Vertu, infamous for creating phones more expensive than your first car, just released its newest model, the Signature Touch.
The phone comes with a $11,300 price tag for the basic model, according to Vertu’s website. Each one is made by hand by a single craftsman, which is supposed to convince us that it’s worth emptying your child’s college fund. The Signature Touch is also equipped with noise-cancelling capabilities, virtual surround sound and ringtones from compositions by the London Symphony Orchestra.
Armed with 64 gigabytes of storage, the Signature Touch can hold its own against smartphone staples like the iPhone 5S. It runs on Android’s 4.4 KitKat operating system. In addition, Signature Touch blows iPhone’s photo-snapping cred out of the water, boasting a 13-megapixel main camera to iPhone 5S’ measly 8MP. However, the camera lacks the autofocus function, a major boon to the iPhone.
More isn’t always better. The nearly 5.7-inch screen is bigger than the iPhone by nearly an inch, making it barely pocket-sized and therefore bulky to carry around. There’s also a small matter of the price difference between the two: the Vertu phone is 28 times the cost of an iPhone 5S, without a contract.
Vertu began in 1998 as part of Nokia, but branched off from the Finnish phone company in October 2012. Its most recent phone was the Vertu Ti, which cost $10,569. The Signature Touch will be released at an unknown date later this month.
