The most expensive smartphones in retail
5. Tonino Lamborghini Alpha one — 149,000 rubles
An Italian premium model with a case made of liquid metal (LiquidAlloy). This material is scratch-resistant and has high anti-corrosion and chemical resistance. The back cover of the gadget is covered with tactilely pleasant and wear-resistant black leather.
The smartphone's 5.5-inch display has a resolution of 2560×1440. The Snapdragon 820 processor and Adreno 530 video processor, together with 64 GB of flash memory (plus a slot for expansion) and 4 GB of RAM, will easily handle all the latest games. The camera has a high resolution of 20 MP, is equipped with an F/1.8 aperture, and has both electronic and optical stabilization.
Two sets of Hi-Fi chips are responsible for synthesizing impeccably pure sound.
Tonino Lamborghini Alpha one is equipped with fast charging, NFC module and fingerprint sensor. But the battery capacity is not flagship, 3250 mAh.
4. Tag Heuer Racer Prestige Gold Black Rubber and PVD — 289,916 rubles
The Tag Heuer Racer series of Android smartphones from fashionable Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer currently costs between €1,475 and €4,020, depending on the materials used. The most expensive version is made of steel with a black PVD coating, and the back is covered in black rubber. The back cover is made of gold.
The 3.5-inch device's appearance was inspired by GT racing cars.
And although the Android 2.3 OS, 1 GHz processor and 8 GB of built-in memory are absolutely not designed for fast work with modern programs, this beautiful device in combination with a Tag Heuer watch will immediately indicate that its owner is not only rich, but also a very stylish person.
3. Mobiado 105 Damascus — 299,000 rubles
This 3G phone from a Canadian company specializing in ultra-expensive gadgets is handcrafted and, as the name suggests, its body is made of Damascus steel.
The special feature of this model with a 2-inch sapphire display is the hidden sliding mechanism of the battery cover. It is made from a single piece of sapphire.
Other features of the device include 1 GB of memory, a 2 MP camera, surround stereo sound technology and support for OMA DRM 2.0, a solution designed to protect mobile content from illegal copying.
The Canadian phone does nothing that "plebeian" smartphones can do, you can't watch a YouTube video with it or play "tanks". But if you take out of your pocket the most expensive Samsung phone (Galaxy S9+ in a "black diamond" case) and Mobiado 105 Damascus, the latter will certainly attract more attention.
2. Vertu Signature Touch — 1,189,951 rubles
When it comes to luxury handcrafted mobile phones, Vertu is the brand that most often comes to mind. This luxury mobile device manufacturer has several series, and the Signature Touch is one of the most expensive.
Covered in genuine animal skin, Signature Touch smartphones combine a luxurious appearance with a durable finish.
The most expensive model, the Pure Jet Red Gold (16,500 euros), has a titanium case covered in quilted calfskin on the back.
The device's screen has a diagonal of 5.2 inches and is protected by polycrystalline sapphire glass. The Snapdragon 810 processor is no longer the most powerful, but is still good enough to handle "heavy" games and programs without problems. However, many users complain about overheating of this chipset. The memory for storing data is 64 GB, and there is a slot for its expansion. The RAM capacity is 4 GB.
The main camera has a resolution of 21 MP, phase autofocus and dual LED flash.
The Vertu smartphone features fast and wireless charging and supports Dolby Digital Plus surround sound technology.
1. Vertu White Gold Full Pave + Baguette — 6,800,156 rubles
This is the most expensive phone in the world, if you take into account the serially produced models. It belongs to the Vertu Diamond Collection series and costs 93,750 euros - over 6.8 million rubles in terms of the current euro exchange rate. The body of this luxurious hand-assembled device is covered with 18-karat white gold and encrusted with diamonds. And the key switches have supports made of precious stones.
Except for its appearance, this mobile symbol of the good life is no different from an ordinary "dialer" for a couple of thousand rubles. It has a built-in memory of 4 GB, supports Bluetooth 2.0 and GPRS technology, can send and receive SMS messages and, of course, make calls. But do people buy such a device for its technical characteristics?
The most expensive exclusive phones in the world
5. iPhone 6 Amosu Call of Diamond – $2.7 million
For those who have an extra $3 million lying around in their wallet, talented designer Alexander Amosu will make an iPhone 6 model out of pure gold in 2 months.
There are a total of 6,127 diamonds on its body, and one huge diamond has been cut into the shape of the Apple logo. This gem weighs 51.29 carats.
4. iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition - $8 million
This is the fourth most expensive smartphone in the world in 2018. But if you think that it has a super-modern "filling" inside, you are mistaken. All the most valuable things of this device are on the outside. And it works just like a regular iPhone 4.
The phone's designer Stuart Hughes has placed 500 pink diamonds on his creation. Its pink gold back is decorated with an Apple logo made of 53 diamonds. A large diamond (7.4 carats) is also embedded in the Home button and is surrounded by smaller gems. The entire edge of the device is also strewn with diamonds.
The owner of the two existing models of the diamond iPhone 4 in the world is Australian businessman Tony Sage.
3. iPhone 4S Elite Gold Edition - $8.2 million
British designer Stuart Hughes is known for his mobile creations that are as expensive as they are beautiful. He stunned the world with the $8 million iPhone 4, but soon broke his own price record with the $8.2 million iPhone 4S.
There's room for 500 flawless diamonds on its body. The Apple logo is made up of 53 diamonds and is framed in 24-karat gold. And the gold navigation button has an 8.6-karat diamond "embedded" in it.
All this luxury received a worthy frame - a platinum case decorated with tyrannosaurus bone, opal, charoite and other precious stones.
2. iPhone 5 Black Diamond - $15 million
It took English designer Stuart Hughes nine weeks to create this masterpiece. The phone's frame is encrusted with 600 white diamonds, while the Apple logo is made from 53 precious stones.
The iPhone 5's screen is protected by sapphire crystal. However, the real highlight of this black and gold phone is the 26-carat black diamond that replaces the Home button.
1. Falcon SuperNova iPhone 6 - $95.5 million
The most expensive phone in the world in 2018 is a custom version of the iPhone 6 from Falcon Luxury (now closed). The Falcon iPhone was available in three colors: gold, rose gold, and platinum. The main attraction of this phone is the large diamond embedded in the back cover. This is what makes the Falcon SuperNova so expensive.
The cost of the world's most expensive smartphone depends on the diamond the designer used. The most expensive model (over $95 million) is equipped with a pink diamond. Cheaper versions are decorated with a blue diamond and an orange diamond.
As for the gadget's specifications, they are quite modest by today's standards: 4.7-inch screen, dual-core Apple A8 microprocessor (1.4 GHz), 1 GB RAM, 128 GB ROM, 8 MP main camera, 1810 mAh battery and fingerprint scanner.
