Samsung Galaxy Note 5: New 24K Gold-Plated Variant Priced At $1,450 On eBay

A new, shimmery gold-plated variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has been released in the U.S. and it has been listed by the retailer eBay.

Interested buyers can now order the 24K gold-plated Samsung Galaxy Note 5 from eBay at a price of $1,450. The device is being sold by Karalux, a Vietnam-based manufacturer which has a history of releasing gold-plated variants of several Samsung devices in the past, including the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge, Phone Arena reported.

According to the report, the outer frame surrounding the Note 5 has reportedly been made of the prominent aluminum 7000 series, which is one of the toughest alloys available for device making. Apple is also reported to use this material to build the upcoming iPhone 6s and the bigger sibling iPhone 6s Plus.

Except for the outer look, the 24K gold-plated Samsung Galaxy Note 5 shares all the configurations with the recently-released original phablet.

The Galaxy Note 5 comes with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display, aided by 1,440 x 2,560 pixels screen resolution. This translates to a pixel density of 518 ppi. Under the hood, the smartphone comes powered by an octa-core (Samsung Exynos 7420) SoC and backed by 4 GB of RAM. On the software front, the handset runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.

The Galaxy Note 5 also comes equipped with 32 GB or 64 GB of built-in storage space with no microSD card support. When it comes to camera specification, the device sports a 16-megapixel rear-facing unit, in addition to a 5-megapixel selfie shooter.
