The Vertu New Phone, Vertu Agent Q, unveiled at Harrods, is widely known as the world’s first AI Agent Phone—a device that thinks, plans, and completes tasks autonomously. But among its many innovations, one feature stands out for photographers, travelers, and creators:
Its ultra-wide camera.
This is not just another wide-angle lens.
It is a 50MP OV50D sensor, paired with optical correction and a 122° field of view, engineered to capture scale, geometry, architecture, landscape, and interior space without distortion.
If the main 35mm lens of Agent Q captures emotion, the ultra-wide lens captures environment—the world you exist within.*
Key Takeaways (Quick Answers)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What makes the ultra-wide lens special? | True optical correction + 50MP resolution + 2.5cm macro, delivering scale without distortion. |
| What real-world difference does this make? | Spaces stay true-to-form. Buildings stay straight. Faces stay natural. |
| Who is this for? | Travelers, architects, designers, lifestyle creators, entrepreneurs documenting life. |
1. The Power of the 122° Ultra-Wide — Space, Without Distortion
Most smartphones widen their field of view by stretching the edges.
This is why:
-
Buildings look like they are bending
-
Faces appear warped
-
Rooms look artificially large but unnatural
The Vertu Agent Q’s ultra-wide is designed differently.
Using optical rectification, it keeps:
-
Vertical lines straight
-
Proportions accurate
-
Human forms natural
Scene Example: Hotel Interior in Dubai
You’re documenting the suite you’re staying in:
-
On iPhone 17 Pro Max → corners stretch, the sofa warps, and marble patterns smear.
-
On Metavertu Max → dynamic range is strong, but geometry bends outward.
-
On Vertu Agent Q → walls remain parallel, chandeliers retain symmetry, colors appear real, not hyper-sharpened.
You don’t capture a room.
You capture its structure, ambiance, and truth.
2. 50MP Ultra-Wide + Macro Fusion — One Lens, Two Worlds
The ultra-wide lens doubles as a 2.5cm super macro lens, meaning you can capture:
| Subject | Result |
|---|---|
| Textures in leather | Grain-by-grain detail |
| Jewelry & watches | Reflection clarity without flare |
| Food plating | Depth & warmth without artificial saturation |
| Flowers and fabrics | Microstructure preserved |
Scene Example: A watch on your wrist
-
You bring the lens within 2.5cm
-
The sapphire crystal reflects perfectly
-
Engravings are razor-precise
-
No noise stacking, no smearing, no plastic skin
This lens is designed with craft in mind—not just composition.
3. The Ultra-Wide Lens in Travel & Lifestyle Photography
The Vertu Agent Q excels in capturing context.
Cityscape
Standing at the Bund in Shanghai:
-
Skyscrapers maintain scale
-
Lights stay crisp without flare bloom
-
No haloing around high contrast edges
Nature
At sunrise over the Alps:
-
The horizon remains level
-
Colors stay natural, not oversaturated
-
Gradients retain smooth luminance transitions
Architecture
Inside the Louvre:
-
Columns stay vertical
-
Ceiling artwork maintains symmetry
-
Human subjects stay proportional
This is the difference between documentation and visual storytelling.
4. Agent Q vs iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Metavertu Max (Camera Comparison)
| Feature | Vertu Agent Q (Vertu New Phone) | iPhone 17 Pro Max | Metavertu Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra-Wide Resolution | 50MP | 12MP | 48MP |
| Field of View | 122° (optical corrected) | 120° (digital corrected) | 118° |
| Macro Ability | 2.5cm true macro | Software crop macro | Close-focus macro |
| Geometry Rendering | True shape-preserving | Barrel distortion at edges | Edge warping noticeable |
| Color Tone | Cinematic warm-neutral | Slight HDR brightness boost | High contrast vivid |
| Ideal Use | Architecture / Travel / Design | General lifestyle | Outdoor performance |
Verdict:
iPhone is optimized for consistency, Metavertu Max for dynamic contrast,
but Agent Q is optimized for reality and spatial integrity.
5. AI Artistry Enhances the Ultra-Wide Experience
The ultra-wide lens integrates with AI creative workflows:
| Feature | What It Does | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| AI Storyteller | Turns trip photos into film sequences | Travel memories → cinematic narratives |
| Magic Edit | Voice-based object removal | No need for apps or touch-up tools |
| Photo Poet | Generates a poetic caption based on mood | Emotional storytelling made effortless |
| AI Composer | Creates music to match the scene’s atmosphere | Visual + auditory memory fusion |
This transforms photography into documentary + emotion + meaning.
6. Design Complements the Camera Philosophy
Agent Q is crafted like a luxury object, not a consumer device:
-
White alligator or black calfskin back panel
-
Titanium frame
-
Ruby Talk key for one-touch AI access
-
Swiss micro-hinge engineering
-
320+ hand-assembled parts
This is a camera you always have with you, but also a statement piece.
Who Should Choose Vertu Agent Q?
| User Type | Why It Fits |
|---|---|
| Entrepreneurs & Leaders | It handles planning, scheduling, and execution autonomously. |
| Architects & Designers | Ultra-wide lens preserves structure and symmetry with precision. |
| Travelers & Photographers | Captures landscapes and interiors truthfully, without distortion. |

If you value space, atmosphere, and authenticity, this is the camera system designed for you.
Real Life Scenes to Imagine
| Scene | What You Capture with Agent Q |
|---|---|
| Your hotel suite overlooking Hong Kong | A room with true scale, not a stretched illusion |
| A sunset dinner with family | Warmth and mood preserved — not over-brightened |
| Walking through Florence streets | Buildings in harmony, faces natural, colors emotional |
| A close-up of your wedding ring | Texture + engraving clarity + subtle reflections |
Photography becomes memory, not just imagery.
Conclusion — Space, Story, and Soul
The Vertu Agent Q is not designed for everyone.
It is designed for those who understand:
-

Perspective reveals truth.
Where most phones widen the world, Agent Q reveals it.
If the 35mm lens captures the heart,
the ultra-wide lens captures the world the heart lives in.
This is photography that honors reality.
This is the Vertu New Phone.
This is Vertu Agent Q.
