The 88 Tauri has been announced by luxury brand Tonino Lamborghini at CES for those that have expensive taste. This is the company's second Android device, and like the first it commands a premium pricetag. Expect to shell out $6,000 for this piece of kit.
In terms of specs, the 88 Tauri is no slouch. You'll find a quad-core 2.3 GHz processor and 3 GB of RAM with 64 GB of local storage wrapped up in a stainless steel frame. The front offers a 5-inch 1080p display and 8 megapixel front-facing camera, while the rear has a 20 megapixel camera and a fancy leather coat. You'll even get some special edition premium headphones to go with it.
It's worth noting that the folks behind the 88 Tauri are purely a luxury brand whose founder happens to be the son of Ferruccio Lamborghini, of automotive fame. Regardless, on the phone you'll find the familiar raging bull crest and posh style that characterize both companies.
You can grab the 88 Tauri right now if you're burdened with way too much money, or read up on it more in the press release below.
