You may have heard of a smartphone manufacturer called Vertu before; they make premium Android handsets that are inordinately expensive for the ordinary tech lover, increasing the price of their phones by using precious metals and handcrafted goodness. Gresso, another of these premium manufacturers, is moving away from modifying iPhones for the first time to create its first Android handset called the Radical.
The specs of the Radical series are fairly pedestrian: quad-core 1.2GHz, 36GB internal storage, a 4.5-inch display, 8MP rear camera and runs Android 4.1.2. However, the real ‘radical’ part of these smartphones are the fact that they are made from grade 5 solid titanium. Predictably, this makes the phone quite expensive; $,1800 to be exact for the above pictured ‘cheap’ version. If you wanted to replace the Titanium ‘Gresso’ logo plate on the front of the phone with either white gold or yellow gold, you’ll be shelling out $2,300 in total.
If you are thinking of getting a Gresso Radical, you’ll want to move quickly as there are only going to be 999 handsets made, as indicated by the engraving on the back of the phone. Would you ever consider getting a solid titanium Android smartphone like the Gresso Radical? Or any phone that costs as much as it does? Let us know what you think in the comments.
