When you think of “Vertu” the words “cheap” or “affordable” don’t really come to mind. The super-luxo phones are out of reach of most people’s finances, which is part of Vertu’s appeal – exclusivity. Well, now you can have your very own Vertu Ascent VEPTU I-70 phone from obscure Chinese manufacturer CECT. You see what they did there? The VEPTU series phones will feature 24k “gold”, 2 megapixel cam, MP3 player, and memory card slot – all for a lot less than a real Vertu Ascent. So why would anyone go for the Vertu Ascent if they can have the Vertu Clone – VEPTU – for a lot less? Well, first, the VEPTU is likely to attract the same kind of attention as an utterly conspicuous counterfeit Louis Vuitton bag; and, second, the “gold” is just regular metal with a “gold” color to it. So, this VEPTU is to Vertu’s phones as Rolix is to Rolex’s watches.
