Vertu released a new phone after two years of silence. The new Signature Dragon roars out intensity in luxury phones.

While Vertu’s recent luxury phone Signature Cobra didn’t get much appreciation and positive feedback, the company hopes that they would do well with the Dragon.

The new luxury phone is colored classic black and has intricate dragon designs, probably embellished with precious stones or diamonds and high class gold.

Signature Cobra was sold for over $250,000, a price that inarguably is not for the faint hearted and shallow pocketed. There is no price yet for the Signature Dragon, but common sense dictates that this one should around that price as well.

The phone is currently in display at Las Vegas’s Wynn Hotel and you can take a peek at it or even buy it this coming CES.
