These are the most expensive smartphones you can buy right now
The top-end, premium offerings from the likes of Samsung and Apple are great and all, but millions of other people have those.
If you have more money than there are people in your country, you’re probably looking for a phone that only you and maybe a few of your rich pals own to differentiate yourself from the great unwashed masses.
Unfortunately for the insano-rich Apple fanboys out there, these phones all run the Android operating system, as Apple doesn’t let other phone makers use the iOS operating system.
Funnily enough, most of these smartphones have the same specs as the normal phones we the hoi-polloi use. At the same time, some of them come with special exclusive features. Others just look pretty.
Maybe enough leather and diamonds will help you look past the normal specs on some of these models. Check out the most luxurious and expensive smartphones you can buy:
6. Mobiado Grand Touch em Marble: $3,100
A marble phone sounds like it could be extremely heavy. Other finish options of the Mobiado include Burl, Cocobolo, Ebony, and Granite. Admittedly, they all look absolutely gorgeous.
5. Lamborghini Tonino Lamborghini 88 Tauri: $5,250
4. Gresso Regal Gold: $6,000
Gresso’s Regal Gold model is made with 18-karat gold.

The Solarin phone is built on the premise of ultra-security for the ultra-rich and ultra-secretive.

2. Vertu New Signature Touch with Sky Blue calf leather: $19,800
Vertu
Vertu phones come with special features, like a live 24-hour concierge you can call or text to get or do anything in the world for you.

Other less expensive options lizard and alligator skin.
1. Goldvish Eclipse with diamonds and black alligator skin: $36,655
Goldvish
The less expensive models of the Goldvish Eclipse are also adorned in alligator skin and go for a much more reasonable (sarcasm) $7,000, but it’s the diamonds that brings this model’s price into the five-figure range.
