It
was back in June we gave you guys a look at the unofficial 24ct
gold plated HTC One by Goldgenie. Priced at a whopping £1995, it was
only a little out of our price range. Perhaps it was all the hype surrounding
the gold iPhone 5s, but HTC felt the need to take that idea and run with it.
Today they’ve announced the official gold HTC One, and it’s touted
as “the most elusive and expensive HTC phone ever created”.
Valued
at a cool £2,750 (around $4,424 US dollars), the C3PO’d HTC One is covered in
18ct gold in collaboration with, you guessed it, Goldgenie. Before you go
digging through your couch cushions in hopes of picking one of these up for
yourself, this One wont exactly be available to the general public.
An
extremely limited edition release (hence the “elusive” part), HTC will only be
manufacturing 5 of these gold plated HTC Ones, built to celebrate the 18th
anniversary of the MOBO Awards (Music of Black Origins). HTC will be sponsoring
the “best newcomer” category in which the winner will be walking away with 1 of
these as their door prize. The MOBO Awards kick off in Glasgow, UK on October
19th.
There’s
no word on what HTC plans to do with the other 4 Ones, but
don’t be surprised if you find them popping up in your favorite rap videos.
