Take Your Bentley To The Next Level With The Bentley Smartphone

The two luxury brands have teamed up as part of a five year partnership, and the first fruits of the deal is a smartphone that only those who own a Bentley can afford, as it'll set you back a cool £10,700.

In typical Vertu style the phone is made from premium materials including a sapphire crystal glass front, quilted calf leather back in Bentley's signature Newmarket Tan and a titanium frame.
There's even a tiny Bentley B wings motif on the front, and we were told by a representative that it's half the size of the smallest logo Bentley makes. Impressive then that you can pick out the feather detail on the wings.


On screen you'll find custom Bentley wallpapers, unique clock widgets with a clever lighting effecting which changes as you tilt the device and a Bentley hub with the latest news from the manufacturer, suggestions for great drives and exclusive experience days.

Vertu for Bentley

For those keen on the tech you get a 4.7-inch full HD display, 2.3GHz quad-core processor, 13MP rear camera and Android 4.4 KitKat - so at least Vertu hasn't skimped on specs. Owners of the Bentley Flyer Spur will benefit even more from this Vertu handset, with an app allowing you to control the climate control, heated seats, radio and rear window blind from the phone.


You need to be within Bluetooth range of the car for these features to work, but it performed well during our hands on time and the intuitive interface made it simple to use. If you fancy adding this handset to your exotic collection of technology the Vertu for Bentley is available to buy, although you'll need to act quick as it's limited to just 2000 units.
