You may be familiar with the Vertu brand, the company makes high-end smartphones more focused on style and design than outright performance. Vertu has rolled out a new high-end smartphone called the Aster. This new device crossed the FCC this week and is ready to launch soon.
Hardware for the smartphone includes a 4.7-inch screen with 1080 x 1920 pixels. It also features LTE connectivity, NFC tech, a 2MP front camera, and a 13MP rear camera. The processor is a 2.3GHz quad core Snapdragon.
As with all Vertu phones, premium materials are used in its construction including titanium alloy and leather. The portly beast tips the scale at 185 grams and runs Android 4.4 KitKat. It does have Vertu’s custom UI over the top of Android.
One key thing about the smartphone we don’t know is the price. The Vertu Signature Touch sold for about $10,000; odds are the Aster will be in that same realm.
