“Just days after Apple’s new gold iPhone 5s went on sale, Samsung has announced the new Galaxy S4 ‘Gold Edition,’ though the back of the device retains the same plastic design as other models,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“The new devices will come with a gold plastic trim on the outside, while the front glass will be available in brown or pink,” Hughes reports. “The handsets were announced on Wednesday by Samsung Gulf, the company’s Middle Eastern outfit. The advertisement from Samsung even refers to the ‘elegance’ of the new color option. When details on Apple’s gold iPhone 5s were leaked in August — almost a month ahead of the device’s announcement — the color was also described as ‘elegant.'”

MacDailyNews Take: Samsung, you need to drill more holes into the top face of your plastic flagship phone. There aren’t enough.
Maybe it will also include 64 tiny crumbs of doritos, so they can claim they have 64 bit chips too.
So clever, best snark of the week! *****
Nah, too much engineering involved for Samsung. Besides, the S4s would quickly be 2-bit as all those tiny I hips fall out of all those holes drilled in the faceplate.
Shameless and clueless all wrapped into one.
Sad. Just sad. When will they try to stand on their own.
Brown and pink? They even copy the Zune.
Come on! Should any of us really be surprised?
You CAN polish a turd, although it still looks like a turd
=:~)
So how are the Fandroids gonna spin this?
Ha ha ha ha ha lol lol lol lol lol
Ladies and gentleman, meet Microsoft 2.0
Wow. Gold plastic. Oh wow.
Yet another FAIL job of cheap ripoff ScamStung. You deserve the dire results of your self-destructive behavior. Should we laugh at you are be sad at your self-loathing? You have no self-respect, no shame, no inventiveness, no future but more of the same.
Please read: “OR be sad at your self-loathing?”
Now will they only give a couple out per store to simulate demand?
What a bunch of dorks. I bet the Samsung Brigade of iHaters will post nothing but adoration and love for Samsung and this new plastic POS! lol
Very, very sad. Samsung go stand in a corner.
Let’s stand for Apple and USA, boycott all Samsung products; phone, tv, fridge, toaster, microwaves, toothbrush, jack strap…
Let them sale their scrap in Korea where no one cares about innovation and rules…
My first instinct is to feel embarrassed for them. But you can’t empathize with that emotion for people who have no shame.
My second instinct is to hit some message boards to see how the Samsung fans actually rationalize this with “Apple didn’t invent gold! The Motorola HZ9261 way back in 2005 was gold . . . Who are the copiers now!?!”
Samsung, innovating since iPhone 1.
NEWSFLASH! Samsung continues to destroy its corporate image!
Behold! The Gilded Turd!
But the gold iPhone looked so much better in person!!!! Maybe this plastic one will too!
Sike those pics are probably photoshopped to take away as much hideousness as possible. Can’t wait to see one in the wild if it comes over this way.
Add new Gold Color is the only thing that Samsung can copy and do it by themselves. They have no real 64-bit system , they don’t even have a valid solution for device’s security. The day of Samsung and android are numbered!
Apple should do an ad making fun of the way Samesung copies them.
Like an ad with a bunch of Koreans looking at a gold iphone and panicking. Then one of them try’s to spray paint a galaxy.
“Gulf” with a Desert in the background? Gee, I wonder who they’re marketing to
Pathetic low life Samsung.
Loosing credibilty and tesprct by the miniut.
Shame less copy cats, thieves, bribers, liers, misinformer, deceivers!
Wow. Really, really pathetic. As are the consumers who fall for this blatant and unsupportable, impossible to enable unethical stealing. Not as great artists do. As parasites do.
Pink… glass? How the hell is that supposed to improve usability?
