Vertu Agent Q: Where Luxury Meets Artificial Intelligence

Vertu’s Agent Q has officially landed – and as expected, it’s less a phone and more a statement of ultra-luxury tech excess. Announced at Harrods in London, the device reaffirms Vertu’s blend of old-world craftsmanship and futuristic ambition.

Yet, true to form, it’s nearly impossible to buy – available only in Harrods’ marble halls, where scarcity and exclusivity define the brand’s ritual.

At its core, the Agent Q is a performance beast. The 6.02-inch AMOLED display flaunts a crisp 1080×2340 resolution with a silky 120Hz refresh rate. Beneath that polished exterior sits Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Supreme SoC – the higher-bin variant reserved for absolute performance perfection – paired with 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. Powering the device is a 5,565 mAh battery supporting 65W wired charging, ensuring that opulence never pauses for long.

Photography is treated as an art form here. The main 50MP camera employs Sony’s IMX906 sensor and variable aperture from f/1.59 to f/4.0 for exceptional light control. Alongside it is a 50MP ultrawide lens using OmniVision’s OV50D sensor, boasting a 122-degree field of view and an impressive 2.5cm Super Macro capability. Completing the trio is a 64MP telephoto lens with 2× optical zoom and OIS. The 32MP front-facing camera ensures your selfies maintain the same air of luxury as the phone’s design.

Vertu hasn’t ignored sound and security either. Dual stereo speakers with DTS Ultra produce an immersive audio experience, while a dedicated encryption chip reinforces privacy. Owners also receive an astonishing 10TB of secure cloud storage, a fitting touch for the clientele this device attracts. The iconic Ruby Key has evolved into Ruby Talk – an entry point to Vertu’s “AIGS network,” a distributed AI system with over 200 specialized agents. These digital concierges replace human assistance, though traditional 24/7 human service remains just a tap away for those who prefer old-school luxury.

The Agent Q’s design borders on ceremonial. It’s wrapped in crocodile leather, accented with a falcon-wing SIM chamber, finished through Swiss-engineered precision, and composed of 320 hand-assembled components. Vertu describes it as a fusion of ceremony and innovation rather than mere design – and that sentiment captures the brand’s ethos perfectly. Pricing remains undisclosed, but availability is limited to Harrods in London, Vertu’s self-declared spiritual home and a temple for luxury aficionados.
