A boxy shape outlined by an aluminium frame? Sounds pretty typical for a phone, even one costing over £2000. Except the Metavertu mixes things up with a carbon fibre rear panel, surrounded by chunky metal trim that’s held in place with flat-head screws. Add in some red trim and it’s quite an eclectic mix. We think it’s got real steampunk vibes, and...
At 6.7in, the Metavertu’s AMOLED display is a similar size to that of the more mainstream competition. But unlike the considerably cheaper Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra(a phone which by any other metric is incredibly pricey), it makes do with a 2400×1080 resolution. 1440p would have been nice, given the price – and 4K would have been nicer still.

While we’re all for the latest tech and trying out new things, the Metavertu simply isn’t it. The device falls over both as a smartphone and as a Web3 device that’s designed for the future. Thanks to a shockingly poor camera and slow performance given the price, this just isn’t a phone you’d want to have in your pocket – and that’s before we even g...
