The company’s first smartphone may be launched at a dedicated retail store in London. The luxury smartphone is not new. In 2006, Nokia launched a $310,000 “Signature Cobra” device in 2006 and the $5,000 “Constellation” smartphone in 2011. In 2012, Nokia dropped luxury phone brand maker Vertu. After leaving Nokia, Vertu brought its first Android device “Vertu Ti” to market.
Vertu was later acquired from Swedish private equity group EQT by a consortium of Chinese investors.
According to Sirin Labs, its high-end device will first go on sale on its e-commerce site and the firm plans to open additional retail stores across Europe, North America and Asia soon.
