Vertu introduced Quantum Flip Cot, an upgraded variant built around the Nubia Flip 2 flagship family. The device marks a strategic refresh across silicon, memory, cooling, and materials, signaling Vertu’s renewed focus on premium foldable performance. The announcement positions Quantum Flip Cot as a refined step forward, combining a beefed-up chip, larger memory options, and a premium build to deliver a more capable and stylish daily companion for users in North America and Canada. The model aims to pair pocket-friendly form with broad, modern functionality, appealing to buyers who want both style and substance in a foldable smartphone.
The Quantum Flip Cot is touted as the first Flip phone to carry the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite platform in an octa‑core configuration. The device employs an eight‑core version of the processor, delivering higher efficiency and peak performance for demanding apps and smooth multitasking. Memory is topped at 16 GB of RAM, while storage can reach up to 1 TB, providing ample space for media, apps, and large files. For cooling, the handset uses a steam‑based cooling chamber with a micronasus element, designed to manage heat during extended use and high‑performance tasks.
The camera system also saw improvements, with optical stabilization supporting a 50 MP OV50E main sensor and a 32 MP selfie-depth sensor, complemented by a 2 MP auxiliary sensor to enhance depth mapping. In practical terms, the camera setup aims to capture sharp stills and reliable video in a variety of lighting conditions, while front‑facing imaging benefits from a high‑resolution sensor for clearer selfies and video calls. The overall calibration reflects a commitment to achieving strong imaging performance across everyday scenarios and corner cases alike.
The Quantum Flip Cot’s display and battery reflect the model’s premium orientation. It features a 6.9‑inch main screen with a resolution of 2790 by 1188, paired with a 3‑inch external display for quick checks and notifications when the device is folded. The onboard battery capacity reaches 4300 mAh, delivering a substantial endurance profile for a foldable device of this size, with charging support designed to keep pace with heavy use and long days away from a charger. Together, the screens and power system position Quantum Flip Cot as a practical everyday foldable with strong standby and active use capabilities.
Further innovations include satellite communication support and the use of premium rear panel materials. A titanium construction variant is listed at 5400 euros, roughly matching 505,800 rubles at current exchange rates, while a black crocodile skin accented version with a gold element is priced at 20,750 euros, about 1.9 million rubles. The pricing clearly emphasizes the luxury positioning of Quantum Flip Cot, offering two distinct aesthetic paths for buyers who value build quality and tactile appeal as much as raw performance. These options expand demand among enthusiasts and collectors who seek exclusive finishes alongside top-tier specifications.
In a related but separate note, Ovalkin previously introduced a model aimed at the iPhone ecosystem with a price tag around 649,000 rubles, illustrating the brand’s broader strategy of offering high-end devices across different platforms.
