The mobile industry gets a perhaps unlikely brand with the Marshall London, a smartphone aimed at more musically-inclined customers featuring two headphone jacks and a professional Wolfson Audio sound card.
Co-built with Finnish studio Creoir, the London has a design reminiscent of the famous Marshall amplifiers, such as leather-feel casing, gold buttons and controls and the loudspeaker maker's logo on the back. Further music-focused features include two front-facing speakers, global software equaliser, Bluetooth aptX for wireless audio connectivity and an "M" button for instant music app access.
Specifications are admittedly middling, being a 4.7-inch 720p display, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage, 8MP camera and removable 2500mAh battery. The OS of choice is Android 5.0.2.
The Marshall London is available from August 2015 in a package complete with a pair of the company's Mode headphones.
