Built Like A Watch Case

VERTU Quantum Flip Cyber Silver

The body is made of an aerospace-grade titanium alloy with a hardness of HV900. VERTU tests it from minus 15 °C to 60 °C and drops it 1.2 metres onto marble. The metal resists scratches and rust and is kind to the skin. Each phone is polished by hand for more than three hours, the way a watch case is finished.

The hinge is certified for 650,000 folds. That is enough to open and close the phone 200 times a day for years.

Two Screens For Two Moods

Closed, the Quantum Flip shows a 3 inch outer screen that stays readable in direct sunlight, enough for messages, calls and the time. Open, it becomes a 6.9 inch OLED screen for work, reading and films.

Performance And Intelligence

Inside is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with up to 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB or 1 TB of storage. VERTU says it is 45 percent faster than the chip before it. A phase-change coating spreads heat, the 4,300 mAh battery charges to 70 percent in 20 minutes, and the 50 MP AI dual camera uses both optical and electronic stabilisation.

VERTU Quantum Flip cameras

The built-in VPS AI turns a written description into an image, reads text aloud in a natural voice and answers in context. The second camera lens separates the subject from the background for portraits with a cinematic depth.

Privacy At A Touch

The Quantum Flip has three fingerprints and three worlds. Your thumb unlocks business, your index finger reveals private space. If something goes wrong, quantum BB84 encryption lets all data vanish in milliseconds, leaving no trace. The ruby key on the side connects you to a private assistant with 6 privileges and 27 services around the world.
