I have a $6,000 Vertu Constellation. Ask me anything.

I pass the London store occasionally, but I would need a new shirt and shoes to be allowed in.

You mean it's ok to go in without pants? I'm definitely going there!

Who knows... You might get even better service with no pants!

Is it worth the $6k for just the phone?

Can the concierge arrange for a money drop of a couple million at an anonymous location no questions asked?

What about music?

Can I buy out every seat at an Adele concert so I can sit in the middle and see the surprise when she comes out on stage?

What are the benefits of this camera over some others like the S7 Edge and V20?

Just... Why???

How's the protection?

Has your friendships suffered because you now have this phone?

Will the concierge get me a 1968 Shelby Mustang if I request it?

Will I be able to keep the 1968 Shelby if I request it?

What will happen if I can't keep it?

Why can't I keep the 1968 Shelby Mustang????

What else can this phone do?

Is this too many questions?

You'll probably need Raymond Reddington for that.

What about music?

Assuming you have the cash, sure.

What are the benefits of this camera over some others like the S7 Edge and V20?

Uhhhhh… it's attached to an expensive phone with a less confusing (and less feature-full) camera app?

Just... Why???

Why not?

How's the protection?

You mean, like, body guards?

Has your friendships suffered because you now have this phone?

Nope.

Will the concierge get me a 1968 Shelby Mustang if I request it?

Should be doable.

Will I be able to keep the 1968 Shelby if I request it?

For the right price you can keep anything

What will happen if I can't keep it?

You'll be sad.

Why can't I keep the 1968 Shelby Mustang????

Because sometimes like just isn't fair.

What else can this phone do?

You can play Bejeweled on a phone that has an actual jewel.

Is this too many questions?

Maybe.

so if it had a normal price tag and no fancy concierge service, how would it compare to current and upcoming flagships?

what makes the concierge service so special?

what have you used the concierge for?

Do you have to pay for concierge on top of the phone itself?

Can you post some screenshots?

Well, it probably still wouldn't have a normal price tag, thanks to the materials. It's a mid-2016 flagship when it comes to specs and OS.

what makes the concierge service so special?

what have you used the concierge for?

Concierge is good for basic stuff like booking things you don't have the knowledge or time to book. I used it this week for a trip to New York — wanted to get dinner for 6 at a nice but also casual restaurant. I could've spent an hour or two researching a bunch of restaurants I don't know, or I could ask the concierge to find me something, answer a few questions about what specifically I'd like, and they did all the work for me.

Alternatively, there's the question I asked the last concierge I talked to: what's the most unique thing somebody has asked you for? She'd arranged for a Hollywood movie makeup artist to fly to Miami for a 5-hour how-to session with a client.

Do you have to pay for concierge on top of the phone itself?

It's included for the first year, $3000/year afterwards.

Can you post some screenshots?

Stay tuned for the review!

This phone uses a standard MicroUSB port like most phones, so you can just use the ANKER Power Bank or get a Samsung MicroUSB charger.

Thank you,
But do you think it might make the battery worst???

 

[Derek Kessler]

No. A lithium-ion battery is a lithium-ion battery. Micro USB is Micro USB. You'll be fine.

Thank you,
Just one more question: Is the Quick charger 3.0 (powerIQ) of Anker compatible with my phone? May using this charger decrease the life of battery shorter than using the genuine once???
Many thanks

The Quick Charge 3.0 and Power IQ tech are both designed to query the phone about how much power it can accept. If you're phone's only QC2 or QC1 or has no fast-charging support, then the charger will output only the communicated amount of power (USB is pretty smart about that). Long term, fast charging (again, if supported by the phone) can degrade the battery life, but we're talking about minor degradation over a span of several years.

As best as I can tell, the Constellation V does not support any high-speed charging standards and will simply charge at normal speed.

Thank for your advise. As you said, I should find a normal charger. But Do I have to find a charger which have exact the same Input and Output of the original once???
Thanks Alots

Like I said: USB is pretty smart. Any charger will do — they can all scale their output to match whatever the device says it can take.

OK thank you. I was wondering if it's the same case with the Iphone: using the Ipad charger damaged the battery of Iphone, doesn't ít??? Cause of the output of Ipad charger is bigger than Iphone once. That's all why I was asking alot.
Thank you again, Derek Kessler.

That is false. The iPad charger does output at a higher amperage, yes, but the iPhone communicates back that it cab only accept X amps and the charger scales down its output accordingly.

Really crappy no-name chargers (the egg kind you can pick up at a gas station check out counter for a dollar) were a problem several years ago when they first guy the market with lax-to-nonexistant safety measures, but today that's a non-issue.

 

[stiw47]

Sorry cause I nekrobumping, but believe or not, I also have Constellation X. Is there any place on internet where stock firmware can be downloaded for flashing? I guess answer is no, since I had already search a lot on Google, but maybe you know something I don't ?

(Root or TWRP? .... nah, no?)

Thanks in advance.

 

[Derek Kessler]

Nope.
