Bentley mobile phone: what you get for $20,000

BRITISH luxury car maker Bentley has teamed up with Nokia fashion brand Vertu to create a £10,700 ($19,550) smartphone — the price of 20 new iPhones.

Swathed in quilted calf leather with the metal ‘B’ wings motif on the face, the ‘Vertu for Bentley’ mobile is the king of smartphones.

Handcrafted from grade-5 titanium and solid sapphire crystal, the very smart phone has a concierge service entitling owners to exclusive 24/7 assistance, from booking tickets to making dinner reservations.

Each tan-coloured phone is handmade by a single worker at the company’s UK headquarters, who etches their signature onto the back cover.

Internally, you get an Android operating system with a 64GB memory and a 2.3GHz processor which, according to The Telegraph in the UK, is matched by much cheaper phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S5.

The British paper also reports Vertu’s previous models have sold well in Russia, Asia and the Middle East.

“The partnership between Bentley and Vertu allows customers to experience the Bentley brand while out of the driving seat,” Kevin Rose, Bentley sales and marketing director, said.

“The look and feel of the handset is a consequence of a strong collaboration between the Bentley and Vertu creative teams. The handset’s design and materials, when coupled with its exclusive services, integrated Bentley content and high-performance technology, embody what both Bentley and Vertu stand for, and deliver what our customers are looking for.”

The design is so tacky and whatever sets it apart from normal phones seems incredibly unnecessary
Would not buy even if it was 90% off

its just another way for rich arab kids and rich investors kids to waste their money..so they could compensate for something else.

The amount they spent on stupid stuff like this... they could easily pay the water expenses in 3rd world country or easily build wells in countries where water is a problem.

I think it's easier and cheaper to just spend the $50 and buy the official Aston Martin Racing or Porsche Design iPhone cases.

I heard the concierge is worth it?
I think there's a lot of rival companies providing similar concierge/lifestyle type services. Typically they're issued by banks but in some parts of the world, even automotive companies provide it. My understanding is there's only a few companies which actually *do* the service and the other companies just pay so that their customers can have access to use their services.

The oneplus one has better specs and is only $300 haha.

Spending thus much on technology is stupid. Technology evolves so fast that in max 5 years this phone will be worth less than $1000.

However, give it another 10 to 15 years and unless there's some new technology then we'll hit close to a standstill on performance.
