The Solarin range is very different from many “jewelry” phone manufacturers, because of its focus on quality of the hardware and the technology behind its security. The device features a mobile threat protection that claims to address mobile cyber attacks, as well as privacy technology that it says is “currently unavailable outside the agency world.” The Solarin range has an additional focus in luxury design, however.

Ben Wood, an analyst at CCS Insight stated “In a global market where 1.5 billion smartphones will be sold this year there is always going to be a ‘long tail’ opportunity for a very exclusive device to be in demand. However as Vertu has found, the allure of the iPhone continues to draw even the most affluent users limiting the market opportunity.” Mr Wood also stated that the security software may provide a bigger draw, nonetheless. “There appears to be a small number of users who will pay a significant premium for a very secure smartphone — however even with encryption and other security measures there will always be digital footprint left by a user.”
