As expected, Verto has made the Agent Q smartphone official at Harrods in London today. The phone comes with a 6.02″ AMOLED screen with 1080×2340 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC at the helm (and this is the “Supreme” higher-end version), 16GB of RAM, 512GB/1TB of storage, and a 5,565mAh battery with 65W wired charging support.
There’s a 50MP main camera with OIS, which has a 35mm focal length and uses Sony’s IMX906 sensor with a variable f/1.59-4.0 aperture, Omnivision’s 1/2.88″ OV50D sensor with 2.5cm, and the A64 64-degree field of view, which uses a 2.5cm is, and A 50 MP ultrawide using a 122-degree field of view is used. OIS, using Omnivision’s OV64B sensor for selfies.
The Agent QDTS Ultra boasts dual stereo speakers with a dedicated hardware encryption chip, and you get 10TB of cloud storage when you buy one. According to the official press release, RubyKey has been rebranded as RubyTalk, which includes a single press “eggs network, a distributed network of over 200 specialized agents ready to execute commands.” So basically Verto’s human concierge service has been replaced by AI “agents,” but thankfully you can fall back on a human concierge 24/7 when the AI fails you.
The Agent Q is “sheathed in flawless alligator leather, adorned with a falcon wing sum chamber, and completed by a Swiss hinge, 320 hand-assembled components, U-shaped smoothing, thick gold plating, and a ceramic cushion,” which is anything but. If you were thinking, “It’s not design”, “It’s function”.
Prices have not been announced. You can only buy an Agent Q at Harrods in London, which represents “a return to the spiritual home of Vertu.
