Some project designer from Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer must have gone to an F1 race with their Android phone and had an epiphany. What if you took a race car and made it into a phone; carbon fiber, metal and titanium included? What you have is the Tag Heuer Racer and one really, really high price tag. Sure it may be “avant-garde communication” but is it worth €2800 ($3670)?

Tag Heuer is no stranger to high-priced Android phones. In fact, the quote we used last time was “Android OS is like hot sauce, they put that sh*t on everything!” Nevertheless, I am sure that there will be someone out there that will buy this phone. We have no word on specs for the phone, all we are told is that it will be running the latest Android software and will have “new customizable 3D user interface to fit the individual needs of each owner,” whatever that means. These will only be sold in Tag Heuer shops so if your heart is racing looking at this phone, be ready sometime in July.

people complain about HTC phones being heavy and brick like, that thing better weigh a gram for $3000. it looks like Donald Trump stuck his head in a F1 racers exhaust pipe
For the rich, a $3000+ phone is just likes a $3 toy for him or her! They have the money, they live their high life beyond the imagination of any folks on the street like you and me! It’s a fair game!
Frankly, I love Tag Heuer watches and I love this phone! If I’m rich, I will buy it because I love it , and I can afford it!
For that much, that bootloader BETTER come unlocked. {{o_0}}
$40,000 phone, screen still breaks from a 3″ drop…
I purposely tried breaking the screen on my Samsung Admire, a cheap prepaid android, displays nowadays are pretty solid.
Say what you want but that is one cool looking phone right there.
The only reason it seems pike anyone would buy this phone is because it looks really sleek and awesome and cool. It would be a cool piece of hardware to carry around and show off in my mind.

Looks like the Casio G’Zone had sexy time with the Horadric Cube while the entire Droid line watched.
I mean sure if I had $3600 burning a hole in my pocket, a brand new house, car, all bills paid off, etc etc etc I would rock it. But def wouldn’t buy that anytime soon in all reality. it is a nic looking device though and if given to me I would rock it.
meh …rather get a Lamborghini instead
I don’t think you really want any Lamborghini that’s only worth $3670…
I think I do.
I guess you like cars that dont move then, because no Lambo old enough or in the condition to be sold for that kinda money is still gonna drive, especially an old italian exotic…
stupid commercial. Too many macro zoom flybys.
Yes some people are better appointed than others….
Wow most badass phone commercial I”ve ever seen. I would rock that thing.
did Michael bay direct this commercial?
Kurt Busch is probably contractually obligated to buy one assuming it works with Sprint …(Any other NASCAR fans in here?)
Nope, I have all my teeth & am not interested in marrying a family member.
Just f’in with u…..1 of my best friends loves that sh!t, always watching it anytime I stop by but I can’t get into it.
I already have Kevlar on my phone, thanks.
how is this a breakthrough (0:08)? also, for more than half the video they don’t even show the phone, and when they do, they only show what it looks like, nothing about what it can do.
Something like that is more about the hardware than software buddy.
for that much money, the phone should be able to open up so I can install the newest processor chip as the come out for maximum cpu and also gpu and ram. Ain’t no way a person is going to buy a 3k+ phone every year- year and a half for new chip sets and upgraded technology.
For 3k you might as well just get a solid gold/ platinum phone case,if its only a status symbol, at least it will be worth something in 2 years
That’s my expensive company….. + Phones like these are not for people like us to ask how much they are….. If you have to ask, you can’t afford them. These phones are status items…… like a $20,000 watch.
Well said
a $3,000 phone is like a $20,000 watch? I don’t even.. what does…
I’m guessing you’re actually one of the rich people buying this phone while simply pretending to be one of us normal people in your comment.
my Brietling watch is worth more than yoblootzur house; and I still wont buy that phone. Oh how much is it? “yes I did ask that question” still wont buy that which my Nexus could still do more for less. Nice looking phone tho.
Who owns a 3k-12k house genius? You must after buying your cute watch. They saw you coming.
OS: “Android 2.2”
LOL
$5 says the screen will still crack from a pocket drop.
sapphire glass…. probably not as much as the nexus would…. i would think the screen would fail before the glass did
Wow, thank you for showing me what the phone looks like powered off.
I wonder if this will be rooted
-.-
Who buys this? I have a friend who is worth 14.4 million dollars but even he thinks its over priced and brought a razr instead.
Thats why he is worth 14.4M
If he is worth 14.4 then why did he buy such a crappy phone?
Just because you have 14.4m doesn’t make you smart.
U Jealous Bro?
He is not a dedicated android fan, he bought into all the hype of the razr.
I’ve owned 6 android phones, 3 of which had ICS (other 3 were Motorola), none of which were nexus’s. Now what was that about hype? Most people would prefer superior build quality over customization.
The RAZR is a beast, I’ll take the best hardware and reception over the latest software any day.
Plus, if/when it gets unlocked, it will be even better.
14.4M? Is that in baud?
Everyone on the internet is worth 14M these days. Good thing he has that extra 400k to set him apart.
He made his money in opening a small winery in Georgia, not the internet.
