With Motorola, we had gotten used lately to low-range mobiles, with little interest. But a few weeks ago they announced the Motorola Aura, a new very high-range mobile, which thanks to its desinging should match the famous Nokia Arte, Vertu or else Tag Heuer.
The Motorola Aura is inspired from a formfactor already used by the manufacturer a few years ago on its V70. Its rotating mechanism reminds of watchmaking, such as the rest of the mobile actually. 200 parts, put together manually, make up the rotating mechanism, which can be seen through a little window at the back. Talking about figures, it should be noted that this mobile is manufactured in 2 weeks, which are necessary to finish its stainless steel body.
Finally, still thinking of high-quality watches, the glass that covers the screen is in sapphire crystal, a material which is highly resistant to scratches. It is the same glass as the one used to protect the back screen of the Leica M8 evolution, the Leica M8.2, the first telemetric device of the German manufacturer.
