8 Most Expensive Smartphones in 2015

The 8 most expensive smartphones in 2015 are a sign of luxury, not a necessity. Once upon a time, smartphones were considered a luxury. Only the rich could afford phones with a half decent camera, a built-in mp3 player and a multitude of features not accessible on regular phones. However, as time has passed, and technology has developed, the prices of phones have come down and hence, have become significantly more available to the general public. Thus, a need for another sign of luxury was born. Of course, a normal smartphone would simply no longer be enough. Many companies have realized this fact and decided to focus on luxury smartphones, which can only be afforded by the super rich, as they tend to cost more than what many people make in an entire month. By the way, you can get pretty decent smartphones by spending less than $200 (see the list of best smartphones under 200 dollars).

Some brands have continued to make their smartphones a luxury. These smartphones may not have the best features out there, and they may not be the fastest, but the audience they cater to does not care. These smartphones are the absolute definition of luxury and are usually made from extremely expensive materials, such as diamonds or gold. Each year, these luxury phone makers such as Lamborghini or Gresso introduce new, extremely expensive phones that cost a fortune while showcasing elegance. 2015 was no different in this regard. Last year we covered the list of the most expensive smartphones in the world. This article updates the list of the 8 most expensive smartphones using 2015 prices.

8. Gresso Azimuth A1

Price of phone: $2,000

Gresso’s first dual sim phone, the Azimuth A1 is made of the highest quality titanium, while tempered mineral glass has been used to create the front panel of the phone. The phone has been assembled manually and every key is polished manually as well. The price tag is not just due to the high quality of materials used, it is also because of the fact that only 999 pieces have been produced.

7. Samsung W2015 Luxury Flip Smartphone

Price of phone: $2,450

Samsung has been long hailed as producing some of the best smartphones out there in the world, earning it billions of dollars each year. However, the company has also dipped into the luxury phone market, introducing the Samsung W2015 Luxury Flip Smartphone in 2015, which has been priced at nearly $2,500. It features the Android KitKat software and boasts a 16-megapixel camera, but otherwise, has no features to justify its exorbitant price.

6. iPhone 6 by Gresso

Price of phone: $4,000

While the iPhone 6 itself is not cheap at all, Gresso has gone a step, or many steps, further by creating the case in titanium and 18K gold. The set has been crafted by hand and only 999 pieces are available. You can select your own phone number when you place your order.

5. Gresso Regal Titanium

Price of phone: $5,000

While the Gresso Regal Titanium’s price can mainly be explained by the fact that the body is made of titanium, and each set is produced manually, the main reason for the phone being so expensive lies in the fact that only 333 have been produced, making it one of the most exclusive phones in the world.

4. Gresso Regal Black Edition

Price of phone: $5,000

Gresso continues to feature in this list with impressive consistency, with the Regal Black Edition being the fourth phone among the 8 most expensive smartphones in 2015. Once again, Gresso has opted for titanium and 18K gold instead of aluminium to make the body of the phone, hence explaining its extravagant price.

3.  Gresso Regal Gold Edition

Price of phone: $6,000

This phone has the same features as the Gresso Regal Black Edition. The only difference, which explains the increase in one grand in the price, is the fact that if features golden pvd coating on the phone as well.

2. Tonino Lamborghini 88 Tauri

Price of phone: $6,000

When a luxury car producer indulges in luxury mobile phones, you get the Tonino Lamborghini 88 Tauri phone. It is the latest flagship phone launched by Lamborghini and is made of the finest quality materials, as well as a battery that can last up to 1,000 hours on standby. Less than 1,050 units have been produced to preserve the exclusivity of the smartphone.

1. Vertu Aster Diamonds Red Alligator

Price of phone: $10,550

The only phone in this list to cost over 5 figures, Vertu’s Aster Diamonds Red Alligator is definitely deserving of being called the most expensive smartphone in 2015. The phone contains an astounding 55 white diamonds, valued at 0.55 carats each. Meanwhile, the red alligator leather only adds to the elegance and hence, the price of the phone.
