If you can recall Vertu, you’d remember how expensive and upscale their devices are. Well, they have a niche market for the elite and somebody from their group just bought the company.

“Vertu is a powerful brand with an acknowledged market niche. I look forward to working with the team and providing the investment to enable Vertu to realize its full potential,” a spokesperson for Mr. Uzan said.

According to the latest public figures of Vertu, the company was able to sell 450,000 units with an average selling price of $6,000PHP 352,113INR 508,499EUR 5,714CNY 43,670. The most expensive model can cost up to £40,000. Their latest handset is the Vertu Constellation.
