Seeing a gold-plated mobile device is nothing new but if it’s spotted in Vietnam, it can be a bit surprising. The mobile market in Vietnam is not that strong so a special edition is not expected. But then again this isn’t the first golden gadget found in the country. Golden Mobile previously released a gold-plated Samsung Galaxy Note 4. This isn’t an official limited edition unit from Samsung though but just a grand effort by the company who made it.
No official announcement has been made yet about this gold-plated Galaxy Note Edge but rumor has it cost will be around $2,000 or VND 43 million in Vietnam. The phablet with a curvy screen features a metal rim that is gold-plated and of course, the standard specs of the original Galaxy Note Edge.
The photos look legit and I don’t doubt their authenticity. The phablet looks really expensive. The gold part isn’t just a golden metal paint but is 24K gold-plated. The design and specs are still the same but phablet is just really shiny.
Remember, the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is just a limited edition concept according to the South Korean giant. So if you’ll get this golden Note Edge, you’ll be one of the very few lucky ones to have a super limited edition phablet. Okay, so who’s getting one?

Problem is….. None of the photos show a Note Edge, both phones pictured are Note 4’s with the power buttons on their right sides – the Edge has the funky screen on that side with the power button on the top!
