Vertu Phone

This ludicrously lavish phone makes fully encrypted calls

Ludicrously lavish phone maker Vertu has a new, excitingly extravagant Android phone to tempt only the richest and most open-walleted among you. It's called the Constellation.
It's hand-built in England -- like all of Vertu's phones -- and is made from anodized aluminium, wrapped in soft leather that's specifically sourced from a "family-run" tannery in Italy.
Other fancy features include a sapphire crystal display and one-button access to Vertu's 24-hour concierge service (I say "button," it's actually an inset ruby). Need an emergency private jet to Mexico? What about a suspiciously deep clean of your superyacht's decks? Just jab that glinting red button and bark your orders at whoever picks up.
It's the first dual-SIM phone from Vertu, which the company claims allows it to work on "34 international bands." It also fully encrypts your calls using tech from SilentCircle -- great news for the internationally-travelling arms dealers, then.
Vertu sadly has yet to confirm the phone's price to me, although given its earlier Signature Touch phone started at £6,500 (which roughly converts to $8,140 in the US and AU$10,741 in Australia) you can bet it won't come cheap. We'll have to find out when it goes on sale globally on February 10.
The rest of the phone's specs are pretty much what you'd expect from a high-end device.

Vertu Constellation specs

  • 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 2,560 by 1,440 pixels
  • 12-megapixel rear camera (with larger pixels for better low light shots, apparently)
  • Wireless charging
  • Fingerprint reader and NFC for Android Pay
  • 128GB of internal storage, expandable with microSD cards
  • Android 6.0 Marshmallow
  • USB Type-C charging
  • 3,220mAh battery

Blu R1 HD

is a $60 phone too cheap to be good? And is it so cheap that you won't care? That's what I wanted to know about the ad-supported Amazon Prime version of Blu's R1 HD phone, which knocks down the original retail price -- originally $110 for the 16GB model and $100 for 8GB version -- by showing you advertisements on the phone's lock screen. It'd be a tempting price for Prime members who cast a blind eye to ads with one exception: the R1 HD isn't very good. Its camera is mediocre, its performance is inconsistent, and call volume on audio speaker is too low to listen to comfortably. Sixty dollars (or $50 for the 8GB version with ads), however, is cheap enough to justify buying the phone for a kid, or an overseas guest or maybe even as an emergency backup. You seriously can't find that low a price on any modern smartphone. But for a little more, you have better, more reliable budget options, like the Samsung Galaxy J3 ($110 to $180, depending on the carri
