And just like you would expect from a luxury brand like Vertu, this also comes with all the bells and whistles. It comes with gems which are precisely cut and these are created with a mosaic process. As the name suggests, it has a cobra made with 439 ruby stones. Also, they have used Emerald for the eyes of the Cobra. According to what we have been told, each handset is made up of 388 different parts and the entire device is assembled in the U.K by hand. Well, now that you know everything about this phone, let’s discuss the price.

In order to buy this phone, one has to leave a down payment of 1000 Yuan which is approximately about 10,000 INR. And then later, you have to pay a whopping 2.47 million Yuan which is approximately over 2 crore INR. And yes, for the money’s worth, you can get it delivered in style via a helicopter.
