New Delhi: Just days after Apple's announced its new gold iPhone 5S, Korean handset maker Samsung also launched its new Galaxy S4 "Gold Edition," though the back of the device retains the same plastic design as other models.

 


The new devices will come with a gold plastic trim on the outside, while the front glass will be available in brown or pink.

The advertisement from Samsung even refers to the "elegance" of the new color option.
 
Samsung's new gold options is expected to be soon followed by HTC, which is planning a gold version of its flagship One smartphone, according to recently leaked parts.

At present, there is no information regarding the Galaxy S4 Gold Edition's price or availability details but it appears that the device would only hit selective markets that would include Gulf countries.

Under the hood we assume that the Galaxy S4 Gold Edition has similar specifications as the original variant.
 
The Samsung Galaxy S4 sports a 5-inch full-HD display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels, and pixel density of 441ppi. It is powered by 1.6GHz Exynos octa-core processor alongside 2GB of RAM and runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The Galaxy S4 sports a 13-megapixels rear shooter and a 2-megapixel one on the front.

Recently, Apple released a champagne-hued version of its new iPhone 5S handset which received overwhelming response from consumers across the world with reports suggest it got sold-out in many locations on the first day of going on sale.

A scarcity of the gold-colored iPhone 5S models drove ebay auction prices for the coveted items into the five figures.

On Monday this week, a single, unopened and unlocked 16GB gold Apple iPhone, which retails for around $200 in the U.S. on contract, sold for $10,100 (£6,295) following a brief but bitter bidding war on the auction website.
