Vertu Ascent Ti Carbon Fiber

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.
