The 3 Most Expensive Mobile Phones in the World

The iPhone X is easily the most expensive mobile phone in the world, but the steep price isn’t stopping droves of consumers from pre-ordering one of their own. That got us thinking – what are the other most expensive mobile phones in the world? We decided to take a look and find out – here are three of the most expensive mobile phones you can buy today

1) Vertu Signature Diamond ($230,000)

If your net worth is above $200 million, you might consider investing in a Vertu Signature Diamond, which is said to be available for purchase from Bentley Motors. It features a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, 64GB of storage, and 512MB of RAM. The rear features a 14MP camera with dual-LED flash and an 8MP selfie shooter upfront. It also has Dolby surround sound audio technology and an SD card slot for extra storage space. Other specs include WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities with 4G LTE connectivity available as well. If you're looking for something even more extravagant than most smartphones, it's certainly an option worth considering if money isn't an issue. You'll just have to reach out to Bentley Motors if you're interested!

2) Vivo Xplay 5 Elite ($46,000)

The most expensive smartphone ever made may actually belong to Vivo. The Xplay 5 Elite from Chinese phone maker Vivo comes with a 6.43-inch OLED display, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipset, which means it has a fingerprint sensor as well as 4G LTE connectivity and 3D sound technology for multi-directional audio output. That might be overkill for most people, but we doubt it'll be too long before some tech-obsessed consumers start lining up to get their hands on one. In any case, only 100 units of the Vivo Xplay 5 Elite will be available; each will cost $46,000!

3)  Porsche Design Huawei Mate 9 ($6,300)

What’s expensive about a Huawei phone? Nothing, except that it has a Porsche Design logo on it. You get what you pay for, apparently—Huawei is an Android device with mid-range specs and decent design, but some people will undoubtedly want to flaunt their brand loyalty by dropping $6K on a phone they could buy at Best Buy. And while we’re at it: The most expensive mobile phone ever made was created by Stuart Hughes and cost over $10 million. Why? Because of diamonds.
