Samsung Unveils Dhs2,499 Gold Galaxy S4 In UAE

Samsung has launched two new gold editions of the Galaxy S4 in the Gulf region.

Priced at Dhs2,499, the ‘Twilight Pink with Gold’ and ‘Autumn Brown with Gold’ phones include a gold trim and a gold reflective casing – which also doubles as a mirror.

Designed especially for the GCC, the phones include all the features of the original Galaxy S4, including a 13 MP rear camera, face, voice and motion detectors and functions such as Group Play, Dual Camera and Sound & Shot.

The new golden phones are “super slim and lightweight”, weighing 130g and measuring 7.9mm. Similar to the original S4, they come with a five-inch display HD display, Samsung said in a statement.

The limited edition gold S4 is available across all major retail stores in the UAE.

Gold editions of flagship smartphones have become a popular practice in the GCC, with BlackBerry also recently unveiling a special edition gold and white BlackBerry Q10 for customers in the UAE.

The smartphone, launched in August, was priced at Dhs3,799.
