Gold has always been a great way to emphasize wealth and luxury, now you can bring a mobile phone that literally screams financial bliss in the form of the Samsung i8910 HD Gold.
The change may be superficial at best; the only thing gold in the phone is the new rim around the screen. Everything else remains the same. Samsung also announced a “luxury brown” color option aside from the “champagne gold” seen in most images –we have yet to see that version.
Aside from the casing alteration, the phone will also have an upgraded internal memory, a leather case, a new cradle and a useful TV-out cable. The internal memory will now be 16GB instead of 8GB (the original Omnia HD had an upgrade option instead).
The phone sports an impressive 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen display with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. This QHD screen delivers crisp, high-quality images and video; it is perfect for playing 24 FPS HD videos that the device is capable of recording.
As stated, the new phone will now have 16GB of internal memory, twice the size of the original and an excellent amount of space for storing high-resolution images and video. The phone supports a wide variety of music and video file formats for playback. The 1500 mAh lithium-ion battery will provide enough energy for continuous hours of playback (600 hours of standby time).
The phone will still have the dimensions of 123x 58 x 12.9 mm, though it is not confirmed if the weight is still 144 grams (though the difference in weight of the new gold rim may be insignificant).
No Euro release date has been given; seems like Germany will be the only country here to sport this interesting, pimped-up modification. The Gold will also be launched in Singapore and the Middle East.
