A Highly Secure Web3 Smartphone
VERTU, the manufacturer of luxury handmade mobile phones, has unveiled its latest creation: the METAVERTU2. This smartphone is described as a “highly secure” Web3 device, equipped with advanced features such as extensive storage capacity, AI model tagging data, and AI agents managing tasks. VERTU refers to the device as an AI companion called “One More Brain.”
The METAVERTU2 is crafted with imported rare leather materials that are equivalent to Birkin bags, and 316L surgical stainless steel that can be compared to Swiss luxury watches, according to the press release. The smartphone is available in four different variants, including one carbon fiber edition and three crocodile leather editions. Clients have the option to purchase the carbon fiber edition for $5,100 or choose the leather edition for $8,100. There are also additional options for enthusiasts who desire various premium leathers, rare metals, and precious gemstones, allowing for endless customization possibilities.
VERTU emphasizes that the METAVERTU2 is not only a smartphone but also a luxurious fashion accessory that enables owners to showcase their taste and uniqueness.
The Integration of Web3 and AI Technologies
The company proudly states that the METAVERTU2 seamlessly integrates decentralized Web3 and AI technologies, resulting in the creation of a “highly private AI phone.” VERTU uses blockchain technology as the foundation for security measures. The phone incorporates dual AI models that run in parallel, utilizing a fusion of large and small models to ensure a balance between user experience and privacy protection. The device simplifies tasks and analyzes problems from the user’s perspective, while also concealing thoughts similar to that of a biological brain, as claimed by the company.
Compared to its predecessor, the METAVERTU2 boasts intellectual expansion, capability upgrades, and offers emotional companionship. It creates a customized virtual companion for each user and comes with an AI assistant that assists with everyday tasks, including shopping and event planning. The device offers private and personalized AI experiences, turning the sci-fi concept of a personal AI assistant from movies into reality, according to VERTU.
VERTU announced the release of this new device in September, building upon the success of its previous model, the METAVERTU.
Enhanced Privacy and Security Measures
The METAVERTU2 incorporates VERTU’s encrypted system, METASPACE, which has been further improved to allow distinct fingerprint locks for various systems within the phone. This enables the creation of individual privacy systems for storing personal information. Additionally, the device includes TEE and SE chips, as well as core hardware encryption for enhanced protection.
For added security, the phone is equipped with the distributed encrypted blockchain private key backup technology called KEYBOX. It also features existing point-to-point encrypted calls and introduces the novel point-to-point privacy storage called VBOX.
In terms of specifications, the METAVERTU2 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip, has a 4233mm2 synthetic VC, a 5100mAh ultra-large-capacity battery, and supports 65W ultra-fast charging. Furthermore, the phone offers additional security features like one-click destruction and timed restoration.
