In the past, we’ve seen third-party vendors create premium, and expensive, versions of flagship devices from different manufacturers by gold-plating them, and often use exquisite materials.
Samsung also unveiled their latest flagship device, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge a few weeks back. Both handsets are already available for sale in several markets. So it doesn’t come as a surprise to see a vendor releasing a gold-plated version of the handsets.
Karalux, a Vietnamese company, is offering premium versions of both handsets with 24k gold-plating on the metal sides of the handsets as well as the ring around the camera module of the handset.. It takes almost three hours for Karalux engineers to create a gold-plated version of the handset where it has to go through 10 rigorous stages to complete the gold-plating process for the handsets. Furthermore, there’s an additional coating of a nano layer to make sure the gold-plating is not vulnerable to corrosion.
The 24k gold-plating will cost you around $400 (VND 8 million) on top of the regular price of the handsets. Head over to the source link below to check out more images of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge with gold-plating as well as information on how to buy it. Anyone planning to pick up the gold-plated handsets from the Vietnamese retailer?
