Gold Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge coming soon

While one out of three smartphones currently sold across the globe is made by Samsung, such statistics about custom-made, gold-plated handsets are not available, although the numbers may be interesting. Even this way, one thing is certain - most customers of such luxury items, often walking the thin line between kitsch and work of art, hail from the Middle East and Russia.

Although not available for purchase yet, golden Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge handsets from Goldgenie is expected to show up in a matter of weeks. The website of the custom luxury handsets maker currently allows those interested in a 24k Gold, Rose Gold, or Platinum Galaxy S6/Edge to register their details to "be the first to know when our Limited Range of luxurious customised Gold Samsung S6 phones will be launched."

Even more, the official Goldgenie blog reveals the prices of these custom-made handsets. Pre-orders will start Friday, March 20, with prices beginning at $2,500 USD for the 24k Gold Samsung Galaxy S6 and will close on April 7. If everything goes as planned, first shipments will be made starting April 24.
