Vertu's Constellation: Balancing Iconic Heritage Elements with Sleek Modern Design

Vertu, the master phone builder, is the world’s pre-eminent maker of Luxury mobile phones. It invented the category, and continues to define it.

With the new Constellation, the best of English design and handcraft is once again combined with market-leading technology and Vertu’s peerless lifestyle and security services, for a phone that fulfills every requirement placed upon it, and more.

Design and craft

Vertu’s obsession with design and feel is exemplified through every exacting detail of the Constellation – it is a phone that is not so much owned as experienced.

The soft leather of the case, finished in a variety of warm, inviting colours, is sourced from a specialist, family-run tannery in Italy. The polished side rails and chassis are sculpted from lightweight anodized aluminum, to give both uncompromising strength and a perfect, easy fit in the hand.

The earpiece pillow is hand-polished and shaped for optimum acoustic performance and comfort, while a key cut from ruby provides access to Vertu’s exclusive Concierge and Lifestyle services. A dual-finish back plate proudly states “Made in England”.

Global phone

Vertu’s ethos is of a ‘one world phone’, and the Constellation is truly optimized for the global traveller. Acknowledging that many Vertu customers live and travel across multiple countries, Constellation is the first Vertu device to support Dual Sim technology. This enables users to switch between different Sims and networks according to their destination, with Vertu’s development team ensuring that, no matter where you are in the world, your Constellation has the optimum set-up for that region.

This perfect world service is complemented by global Wi-Fi access from iPass, the world’s largest Wi-Fi network.

Performance

Constellation features Vertu’s highest-ever display resolution, thanks to a formidable WQHD AMOLED panel offering 538 pixels per inch and over 3.6 million pixels, rendering image detail in extraordinary clarity. The display is protected by a solid section of scratchproof, 140 carat 6th generation sapphire crystal.

Exceptional acoustic performance is achieved with Dolby® Digital Plus virtual surround sound processing and front-facing stereo speakers, placed at the top and bottom of the phone to achieve the best possible stereo separation. Call quality is assured via uplink noise cancelling and HD Voice support.

Constellation also enhances users’ social media activity with its exceptional 12-megapixel camera, designed especially for social photographers. Featuring very large 1.55 micro pixels, this camera delivers a superior imaging experience with 4K video support, slo-mo video capture and panorama features.

Alongside its powerful high-performance audio and imaging, Constellation features wireless charging, NFC, Google Android™ 6.01 Marshmallow and secure communications from Silent Circle.
