10 Most Expensive Mobile Phones In The World

10. Samsung W2015 - $2,450

Flip phones are making a big comeback in certain parts of the world, and this offering from Samsung testifies to that. The W2015 has been billed as a 'luxury' smartphone, though I'm still struggling to see how it justifies its lofty price tag. Sure, it's gold and black, but that's not real gold, and the black is just, well, black. What's pretty neat about the W2015 is that it has two screens; one on the outside of the flip-cover, and one on the inside. At 3.9 inches, both screens are pretty small by today's standards, and it's no powerhouse with a quad-core Snapdragon 801 CPU. Not that the internals matter in the realm of luxury phones. As you'll find out soon, It's all about the bling, the concierge services, and the "look at me" factor, none of which really feature on the W2015. To me, it semms like a cheeky cash-in on the flip-phone craze in China. Also, just look at it. The phone's disgusting. The only person I can really see using this thing is Tony Montana, and he'd probably just end up smashing it to pieces in one of his cocaine-psychosis tantrums. Maybe that's why it's made of sturdy steel...
