Samsung recently unveiled a gold Galaxy S4 an immediately allegation were strewn about. The blogosphere was flooded with posts and articles that they once again have just copied Apple to make their flagship smartphone gold.
They aren‘t taking it lying down, though. Samsung has recently released a blog post in which the South Korean giant hits back at these allegations by making it clear to consumers that it has been selling gold phones for a long time and this Galaxy S4 is just another addition to the amount of gold phones the company has made. In the post Samsung also hinted at the fact that they announced the gold edition of the GS4 before the Apple iPhones had been unveiled, so technically they had the idea before Apple did.
“About a month ago on August 27th, Samsung launched the GALAXY S4 Gold edition in the United Arab Emirates (These were available in stores starting September 8th). It‘s since also been released in Kuwait and Qatar.
Everybody loves gold, which is why we sometimes make phones in that colour. (Or sometimes even with actual gold for the body!) See below to check out some of the phones we‘ve released in gold in the past (just off the top of my head).”
