Mobile phone one-upmanship can be a tricky game to play: no sooner have you bagged yourself a top-of-the-range handset than something else comes along to up the stakes even further. Gresso now offers the opportunity to really stand out from the crowd with a solid titanium handset that will cost you the best part of $2k.

Most of your money is going on materials, as the specs aren’t as eye-watering as you’d expect: the mobile runs on a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, comes with 36GB of internal storage, and has a 4.5-inch Gorilla Glass display with a decidedly underwhelming resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. Still, that grade 5 solid titanium should be enough to get heads turning in your direction.

The mobile also comes with an 8 megapixel camera to capture the admiring glances of your friends, and dual SIM support so you can run two numbers from it. The $1,800 model is actually at the bottom of the range, with 18k yellow and white gold models on offer for $2,300. Check out the full Radical range of products here.

This isn’t Gresso’s first foray into luxury mobile phones: you may remember the company brought out a Black Diamond range several years ago. You’ll need to make your mind up quickly if you’re after one of the newer handsets, as there’s a limited edition run of 999.

The titanium certainly adds to the weight of the device, which comes in at 219g (the new Nexus 5, in comparison, weighs 130g). That said, you shouldn’t need to fork out extra for a case.

Motorola’s new Android phone looks amazing, but there’s a catch
motorola edge 50 Pro rear shell.

Earlier today, Motorola introduced a new premium phone in the Edge series, and from the looks of it, this could be one of the most value-centric phones of 2024. The Motorola Edge 50 Pro, which flaunts a fresh design language, marked its arrival in the Indian market with a price tag of roughly $385. For a limited spell, it will be sold at approximately $335, which is nothing short of stunning.

At that asking price, you won’t find a phone in the U.S. market that can match the hardware prowess and the fine looks of Motorola’s latest phone. We are talking about sleek curved glass aesthetics, a metallic frame, and a vegan leather finish available in a beautiful lavender shade.

Infinix is an underdog phone brand that's slowly gaining momentum in developing nations. It offers a variety of low-spec and midrange phones with premium designs and features at astoundingly low prices. That continues with the newest midrange series, the Infinix Note 40, which packs some unusual perks, most notably frictionless charging.

The series' top-of-the-line Note 40 Pro+ is crammed with features you wouldn't otherwise find on other sub-$300 phones. Among them is a 120Hz curved AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner, built-in AI features, dual speakers tuned by JBL, a super-slim profile with a vegan leather finish and gold accents, and wildly fast 100-watt wired charging.
