It’s luxury of a different kind. It’s no longer about which smartphone you own, but whether it’s dipped in gold or not.
The latest to enter the shimmery catalogue is Sony’s Xperia Z, which will now be available in a 24-carat gold covering.
Apple, BlackBerry and HTC are some of the names that have indulged in this gold fix.
The phone will be on sale at the Collector’s Palace in Dubai Mall. It has been launched by Gold & Co. London and will be their first-ever Android-powered device.
“It will arrive today and will be priced at Dh12,000,” confirmed store owner Joseph. “It will be the first of the limited edition.”
These gold-plated phones are limited edition models and will also be launched at certified Gold & Co. dealerships such as Evolve Lifestyle Group India and the G&C London office in Hong Kong.
