Porsche Design returns with their latest offering in designer consumer electronics with the launch of their second mobile phone, the P'9522. The new design puts a minimalist twist on its predecessor, the P'9521, as clean lines and smooth surfaces make up the candy-bar handset this time around.

Carved from a solid block of aluminum, the phone comes with a 2.8-inch OLED touchscreen display covered with a single sheet of scratchproof mineral glass. A fingerprint reader, five-megapixel camera, MP3 player, WiFi capabilities and GPS complete the package, with room for a micro-SD card to expand capacity.

Functioning on quad-band GSM, this phone packs functionality and style into a simple and sleek package. Set to hit the stores in time for the festive season, the P’9522 will be available exclusively at selected Porsche Design boutiques, Harrods and Selfridges, and is expected to be priced upwards of £600.
