The $11,300 Vertu Signature Touch gets disassembled, no gold nuggets inside

Vertu, one of the most popular manufacturers of luxurious, premium, and (usually) outdated phones, really charmed us with the Signature Touch. Compared with the maker's previous products, the Signature Touch has a clear advantage in terms of hardware specs – it sports a quad-core Snapdragon 800, 2GB of RAM, and a 1080p display. Pair the potent silicon inside the Signature Touch with its premium design and you get a pretty exquisite device, which comes with a price tag of roughly $11,300.

Yes, the Signature Touch is quite expensive, but it seems that some folks actually disassembled the device, allowing us to take a peek inside the curious device. If you think that the insides of the Signature Touch house a small slab of white gold or a 7-carat diamond, then you'll be quite disappointed. The guts of the premium device look just the same as the insides of your average smartphone.

Unfortunately, we do not get to see the curious Hasselblad-tuned 13MP camera and the audio setup that Bang & Olufsen tweaked. However, without further ado, let's take a quick peek!
