Today we’re presenting you, actually warning you that there’s a new clone available on the market. This time Chinese “masters” went for Nokia’s luxury arm, Vertu, to make the fake Ferrari Ascent phone. As you can see from the image above and other images from the gallery bellow, the device is far from the original, yet if you’re buying your gear online you could easily be tricked into believing this is the real deal.
Vertu is special kind of device. Although it lacks features of the modern smartphones, it’s made out of high quality materials, enabling its owners to shine in every occasion. In that sense, it is advisable to purchase Vertu phones through authorised dealers only. We are talking about a couple of thousand of dollars here, hence being extra cautious is always advisable.
As for the specs of the Vertu Ferrari clone — in case anyone actually cares — there’s a dual-band GSM radio on board, Bluetooth support, FM radio, 2-inch 176×220 pixels screen, music player and some camera.
Again, we advise you NOT to buy this phone and not only because the company behind this “project” is infringing on Nokia’s copyrights. The quality isn’t there as well.
