In terms of specs, the Constellation is actually slightly more powerful than the Ti. For one, it comes with a newer but still lightly customized
Android 4.2, which runs on top of a larger 4.3-inch 720p display and a 1.7GHz dual-core
Snapdragon S4 SoC -- but with a more powerful graphics processor than the Ti's MSM8260A, so this is likely the MSM8260A Pro with Adreno 320. There are also a 13-megapixel camera, a 1.3-megapixel front imager, a larger 1,800mAh battery and the usual radios like NFC, WiFi plus Bluetooth.Alas, you only get 32GB of built-in storage instead of 64GB, and there's still no LTE radio to please the speed freaks (though this is good news for the battery), as there's no LTE service in many of Vertu's active markets. The pin-eject SIM tray is also a slight let-down compared to Vertu's more convenient pop-out back panel on previous models, so hopefully the latter is here to stay.
As part of the Vertu Certainty offering, the Constellation comes with a complimentary subscription to iPass global WiFi hotspot service, as well as an advanced version of Kaspersky anti-virus app. Users can also sign up with security company PSG to enable personal tracking and an alert button on the phone, which can be very handy if you're entering a high risk area -- especially for insurance purposes. Like the Ti, the newer phone also supports Silent Circle's encrypted VoIP call service, and it'll soon expand into encrypted instant messaging, too.
