Vertu to Launch Carbon Fiber Phone in August

Vertu, owned by Finnish handset giant Nokia, said the new handset is tested to ensure the fibers and resin are processed to achieve a uniform look on both the flat and curved surfaces.

A diagonal rib design is achieved by using a twill carbon fiber weave process.

The handset also has a sapphire crystal screen and a chassis made of high-grade titanium -- a non-corrosive element.

The company's Carbon Fiber Collection will also include the Carbon Fiber Grip, Carbon Fiber & Aluminum Grip and Carbon Fiber & Copper Grip devices.

The Vertu Ascent Ti Carbon Fiber will be available in August.
