Founded in 1998, Vertu has consistently crafted some of the most luxurious, handmade mobile phones in the world. Known for their extraordinary designs, Vertu phones are a symbol of opulence and exclusivity. As seen on their official website, the most affordable Vertu phone starts at $2,900, which is already more expensive than some of the latest high-tech smartphones, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 with 1TB storage, priced at $2,259.99. In this article, we’ll compare Samsung’s top foldable phone to Vertu’s base model and explore what sets Vertu’s most extravagant model—the Signature Cobra Limited Edition Keypad Phone—truly exceptional.
A Comparison of Luxury and Technology
At the high end of Samsung’s mobile range, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 stands out with its innovative foldable screen, AI integration, and cutting-edge features. However, when compared to Vertu’s Signature Cobra Limited Edition Keypad Phone, Samsung’s Z Fold 6 looks relatively modest. Priced at a staggering $504,308, the Signature Cobra isn’t even classified as a smartphone—it’s a keypad phone. To put that into perspective, you could buy 223 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 phones for the price of one Vertu Signature Cobra.
Exquisite Craftsmanship and Materials
The Signature Cobra Limited Edition is not just a phone; it’s a true work of art. Designed in collaboration with the French luxury jeweler Boucheron, the phone features a stunning cobra wrapped around it, adorned with 439 rubies on its body. The cobra’s eyes are made from two emeralds, and its head is set with a 2.02-carat pear-shaped diamond, while a 1.02-carat round diamond is placed on the body, adding to its brilliance.
The combination of these precious gemstones and solid gold accents creates an aura of unmatched luxury. Each gemstone is carefully certified, ensuring authenticity and quality. The detailed craftsmanship is a testament to Vertu’s commitment to quality and exclusivity.
