Everyone seems to be making golden phones these days, with Apple bringing out the highly-popular and rare iPhone 5s in gold, and Samsung hoping to capitalise on Apple’s success with golden Galaxy S4s for the middle eastern market — but now HTC seems to want to get in on the action, with a golden version of the HTC One.
This is not just a golden hue for the HTC One though, with it actually being entirely made out of solid 18-carat gold, and buying one would cost around £2,750 ($4,400).
If you’ve just got some cash out of your wallet, then you’re going to need to put it back away as HTC won’t be selling these to the mass consumer, as they have been made specially to celebrate the 18th anniversary of the MOBO Awards in the UK. If you’re unfamiliar with the MOBO Awards, then its website describes itself as an awards ceremony “to recognise the outstanding achievements of artists who perform music in genres ranging from Gospel, Jazz, RnB, Soul, Reggae to Hip Hop.”
Whilst this edition of the HTC One isn’t available for general consumption, the company did partner with Goldgenie to make it — a company who happen to have a 24-carat version available on its website for just £1,895.
