The first launch from Vertu, in 2015 is umm..an older phone with a sprinkle of diamonds. Vertu, a luxury mobile phone maker from England, has launched a few new versions of Vertu Aster & Signature Touch, android, expensive phones. They were first introduced in 2014. Vertu phones have always been about looks first and then technology. This time, too, that doesn’t change.
I like the red Aster from the new lot, so I shall introduce the new 2015 line with it. Red Aster Vertu is wrapped in Alligator skin and ornate with some diamonds. A total of 55 diamonds are lined on a stainless steel pillow. An interesting combination of metal, precious diamonds and red leather.
Also available this year will be the Black Aster diamonds alligator that blends 22 white diamonds with 33 black diamonds.
