The Gold HTC One is a $4,400 [₦704,000] limited edition plated in real Gold

If you fancy paying the cost of a used car on a smartphone, the Gold HTC One may just  be for you.

The device, which is made with REAL 18 carat gold (the emphasis is HTC’s) is an ultra limited edition created to celebrate the 18^th anniversary of the MOBO awards, dedicated to black music in the UK. Only five units of the Gold HTC One have

been manufactured, and one of them will be presented to the winner of the Best Newcomer category at the MOBO awards ceremony on October 19.

Provided you’d be able to secure a unit, the Gold HTC would set you back a cool £2,750, $4,400 or the equivalent of ₦704,000. Don’t fret if you can’t, though – you’d probably be better off with the 24 carat gold-plated HTC One sold by specialist retailer Goldgenie, which seems like a real bargain at just £1895 i.e ₦487,226.

As for the gold-colored HTC One edition that recently leaked, we still have no clue when, if ever, we’ll see it on the market, though, after the flak that Samsung got for its golden Galaxy S4, HTC has reasons to hesitate about it.
