The absurdity of this $40,000 Web3 smartphone is beyond my comprehension

What a mistake in timing. Despite the unstable economy and rising food costs, premium phone maker Vertu has decided that now is the ideal time to introduce a new line of smartphones with a top price of nearly $40,000.

 

 

 

Vertu's choice to begin selling such pricey phones may be questioned by some. Since many Americans struggle to make ends meet, selling phones that cost more than their annual salary is not a good idea. However, Vertu is confident in the capabilities of its phones because they are connected to Web 3.0, a popular but hazy term that includes concepts like decentralization and blockchain technologies.

 

 

 

How precisely can you engage with Web 3.0 on a Vertu phone? It is difficult to determine from the company's brief news announcement. In order for WEB2.0 customers to "walk into the WEB3.0 seamlessly and smoothly," the maker claims the gadget will have a "5-dimensional integrated ecosystem, which aspires to integrate chips, smart terminals, blockchain, operating systems, and high-end services into one phone." A WEB3 phone like this offers the ideal foundation for user digital sovereignty and blockchain infrastructure, which may really assist people in creating their own value.

 

 

 

Is Vertu indicating?

The new Vertu models feature good specs for a smartphone. A ceramic frame and a sapphire glass screen are standard on all versions. A Qualcomm SnapDragon 8 Gen 1 CPU powers the phones. They also have a 3.55 MP camera, a 3,200 mAh battery, and a 6.67-inch, 2400 x 1080 AMOLED display.

 

 

 

The entry-level model, which costs $3,600, comes with a carbon fiber finish, 12GB of RAM, 512GB of internal storage, and, of course, the $3,600 price tag. The top-tier Metavertu, which has 18GB RAM and 1TB storage and is available in "Himalaya Alligator leather," 18K gold, and diamonds, is available to large spenders with $41,000 to spare.

 

 

 

Users of Metavertu claim to be able to instantly convert images and videos into NFTs. These NFTs are securely saved on the device after being digitally validated. Fortunately, if you are unfamiliar with Web 3.0, the device has a voice assistant set up to respond to queries about it.

 

 

 

The Metavertu typically accesses the well-known and beloved public internet while running the typical Android operating system. You can, however, also transition to a Web 3.0 mode that utilizes a unique operating system. You can establish a digital wallet with private keys and gain access to decentralized applications using the Web 3.0 mode. According to Vertu, the Web 3.0 mode "solves the security problem of digital assets, which is a huge issue in the crypto industry," in a blog post.
