Luxury mobile phone manufacturer Vertu has just announced its second Android smartphone following the Constellation Ti with the Constellation.

Meant as a downgraded version of the Constellation Ti, the Constellation surprisingly sports better specs including a 4.3-inch 720p display protected by a layer of sapphire glass, a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 chip, Adreno 320 GPU and 32GB of built-in storage. The phone also boasts a 13MP camera at the back and a 1.3 front-facing snapper and the usual connectivity features such as NFC, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Constellation still has no LTE as most of the company’s active markets still don’t support LTE. However, it does support other Vertu exclusive services and extras including complimentary subscription to iPass global Wi-Fi hotspot service, an advanced version of Kaspersky anti-virus app, optional security company PSG to enable personal tracking and encrypted VoIP call service and instant messaging from Silent Circle.

The Vertu Constellation will be available in select Vertu boutiques starting this month for a mere US$6630 or approximately $7076 before taxes.
