When there is little a mobile phone maker can change inside, all innovation ideas are applied on the outside. Vertu underwent a revolutionary change a couple of years back by becoming the first luxury mobile phone maker to introduce its clientele to Android. The love relationship continues but as the Vertu only prefers using the stock version of the OS, it puts in all its energy in designing different skins. We aren’t complaining!

Vertu has introduced a new wood phone. Yep, a wood phone is not a new thing. Wooden phones have been made before by other phone makers like Motorola. But Vertu’s uses ‘Yosegi’ to make its wood phones! What’s that you ask? Yosegi woodcraft is a traditional Japanese art. Strips made of Basswood are coloured using different dies. They are then carefully put together using lamination technique to form an oblong rod and subsequently a colourful wooden block. Japanese art meets British craftsmanship and you get a gorg luxury phone for ladies or even men!
