Many ostensibly female-oriented phones tend to be compromised, with flashiness on the outside sadly unmatched by power on the inside. Not so Sugar's inaugural, namesake smartphone: while the Android 4.2-based device is lined with 5.16 carats' worth of Swarovski Pure Brilliance gems, the underlying hardware is worth attention all on its own. The 5-inch, 1080p Sharp LCD is backed up by a quad-core MediaTek chip, 2GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera, a 1.3MP front shooter and either 16GB or 32GB of storage. Sugar plans to launch the phone in China and Europe, although you'll have to wait until August for full details. In the meantime, you can catch the full Engadget Chinese hands-on at the link below, and our colleagues' English hands-on video is available after the break.

and laid 32,000 Swarovski Elements on it? You’d have the self-proclaimed world’s most expensive and luxurious vacuum cleaner. It took 100 hours to stick all those crystals on, which is 320 crystals per hour or about 20 seconds per crystal. I’m guessing when they were done they used the vacuum to pick up all crystals they dropped on the floor.
