It also features several upgrades from the previous year’s Iron Flip. Its prices start at VND159 million (US$5,230), with custom and personalized editions costing upward of VND600 million.
The inner display features a 6.9-inch OLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate to directly compete with Samsung’s newly launched Galaxy Z Flip7.
The device’s exterior is encased in glass, with a three-inch touchscreen that allows users to check notifications, translate content and navigate applications on the go.
For the rear design, the phone comes with a combination of metal and leather. Users can choose from a wide range of materials in this section, including crocodile leather, elephant leather, agate stone, gold, and silver.
For photography, the phone is equipped with a dual camera system, featuring a 50-megapixel main lens with an OV50E sensor, an f/1.88 aperture and OIS stabilization alongside a secondary two-megapixel camera.
Vertu has dubbed the hinge system on its smartphone King Kong, capable of withstanding up to 650,000 folds or more than eight years of use at 200 folds per day. But unlike other mainstream clamshell flip phones, this product line does not offer water resistance.
With 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage, the Quantum Flip’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset is one of the most advanced hardware configurations available in Android smartphones currently on the market. The device offers popular AI functions such as translation, note-taking and voice-based image search. Notably, it is the first flip phone to support the quantum-bound BB84 encryption protocol, integrating a three-factor independent security system and an instant data wipe feature.
It comes with a 4,300 mAh battery, with support for 65W fast charging. It also offers unique properties rarely seen in popular models, including satellite calling and a 24/7 global concierge service that assists with booking flights, reserving restaurants, organizing events, and handling personalized requests.
