Paris, France, 20th June, 2022, Chainwire

To celebrate the brand’s 22nd anniversary, VERTU Paris is unveiling the new VERTU Constellation X Ulm™ smartphone through an exclusive sales process. For this occasion, VERTU will set up a unique launch operation on Monday, June 20th. Only 10,555 smartphones will be available for sale via the purchase of an NFT, on the official Vertu Paris website.

After purchasing an NFT, the 10,555 owners will have until September 23, 2022 to choose between two options. First, they could convert their NFT to the Vertu Constellation X ULM™ smartphone and receive it no later than February 2023. Second, they could decide to keep it as an NFT and thus become part of the new VERTU 3.0 business club bringing together the brand’s historical customers and the new web 3.0 community.

For this special launch, BINANCE is collaborating with VERTU Paris. 1,000 NFTs will be on sale on the Binance NFT marketplace. The rest of the NFTs will be available for purchase on the decentralized platform Galler.io and the official VERTU Paris website.

VERTU Constellation X ULM™

With the desire to bring the extraordinary within reach, the new VERTU Constellation X ULM™ is a blend of cutting-edge technological innovation and high fashion craftsmanship.

With an Octa-core processor (2×2.80 GHz Cortex-X1 & 2×2.25 GHz Cortex-A76 & 4×1.80 GHz Cortex-A55), coupled with 12GB of RAM, the Vertu Constellation X ULM™ offers ultimate performance to meet the user needs.

The VERTU Constellation X ULM™ is a true everyday companion with its main camera. It features a 50 MP (f/1.9) main lens, a 12 MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens and a 48 MP (f/3.5) telephoto lens to capture the best experiences of your life. Not only shots, but also high-definition videos: 4K@30fps or 1080p@30/60fps.

Combining powerful technology that offers global connectivity with dual SIM, 5G compatibility, a stunning 6.71-inch 120Hz display and a fingerprint sensor for biometric security, the Constellation X Ulm is the perfect companion for those looking to get the latest luxury smartphone on the market or international travelers who are often on the go.

A large-scale marketing operation for VERTU’s 22nd anniversary. The VERTU Constellation X Ulm™ 22nd Anniversary will be produced in limited quantities of only 10,555 units total, and available exclusively through the purchase of the VERTU Non-Fungible Token (VCXP).

VERTU will award cryptocurrency prizes ranging from $20,000, $50,000 or $100,000 for every 79 NFTs sold.
