Vertu was owned by Nokia until last year and had previous used the Symbian platform for its smartphones.

The Vertu Constellation has a 4.3-inch HD screen covered with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It’s encases in titanium and is wrapped in a single piece of calf leather.

Technical specifications include a dual-core 1.7GHz processor and a 13 megapixel camera. There’s also a suite of Vertu CERTAINTY security services, with encrypted VoIP calls in partnership with Silent Circle, global WiFi access via iPass, device tracking from Protector Services Group and anti-virus by Kaspersky.

Ignacio Germade, Vertu’s Head of Total Product Offering, said “Constellation moves Vertu design into a contemporary realm. When we created VERTU Ti, we used a very elegant design language that visually connects to our heritage and that gives the product a timeless quality. Conversely, in Constellation, we have designed a modern, minimal phone that is sleek and understated. While Constellation takes Vertu in a new design direction, materially it embodies everything for which the brand has become renowned – tactile materials, outstanding engineering and craftsmanship and modern technology.”

Pricing is from €4,900 (£4,200).
