Vertu is on a foldable phone kick \u2013 following the Quantum Flip, the luxury brand has now launched the AlphaFold globally, its first book-style foldable. And while it has the requisite premium materials, this phone\u2019s sole focus is on boosting your productivity with AI.<\/p>\n

Well, not your productivity \u2013 not unless you happen to have $6,880 lying around. And that\u2019s the cheap version, the Alligator Skin Gold & Diamond costs a whopping $34,200. But we\u2019ll get to the leather and the gold and the diamonds. What\u2019s with all this AI?<\/p>\n

\"Vertu<\/p>\n

First, the phone has a 6.53\u201d cover display and an 8.05\u201d inner display. Vertu\u2019s justification for that is that the typical bar format fails when \u201creviewing complex contracts, tracking multi-system operational dashboards or comparing balance sheets.\u201d<\/p>\n

But you won\u2019t have to wrangle all that data yourself, the on-device Hermes AI agent can review and summarize documents, orchestrate 70+ apps and run complex executive dashboards. You can read more about Hermes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Vertu<\/p>\n

Should the AI ever reach its limits, you also have access to the traditional 24\/7 concierge service from Vertu. With two-way satellite communication, you can stay connected even outside of cell network coverage \u2013 be it on your yacht or in your evil lair or wherever.<\/p>\n

The Vertu AlphaFold is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (not the new Gen 5). Additional security is handled by the A5 chip that stores sensitive credentials and cryptographic keys separately. There are safeguards in place too, e.g. the AI can\u2019t make a financial transfer or change critical data without human approval.<\/p>\n

\"Vertu<\/p>\n

Looking at the rest of the tech specs, the phone runs on a 6,500mAh Silicon-Carbon battery that should last up to 28 hours even with a demanding workload. The 65W charging can get the battery back up to 50% in 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

There are three cameras on the back \u2013 a 50MP main (1\/1.56\u201d sensor, OIS-enabled lens), a 50MP ultra-wide and a telephoto module.<\/p>\n

\"Vertu<\/p>\n

You have a choice when it comes to the exterior \u2013 there is stitched calf skin available in two colors, alligator skin in seven colors, a version with solid 18K gold, diamonds (brilliant cut, G color, VS grade or higher) and alligator skin as well as a Himalaya Alligator Gold variant. The hinge cover has a micro-engraved and hand-finished \u201cClous de Paris\u201d pattern. The hinge itself uses titanium and liquid metal, though that\u2019s not so unusual for a modern foldable and neither is the UTG on the folding screen.<\/p>\n

Various Vertu AlphaFold versions, each more expensive than the last<\/p>\n

If you are interested \u2013 or just curious \u2013 you can find the AlphaFold over on vertu.com<\/a>. The phone was originally on pre-order and you had to put down $2,000 upfront, but now it\u2019s available for purchase immediately. Or as immediately as you can scrounge together nearly $7K.<\/p>\n
