In terms of camera specifications, an 8-megapixel camera is seen on the rear while the front-facing camera uses 1.9 megapixels.
With LTE support, the Galaxy Golden utilizes 1,820mAh battery capacity.
The phone will sell for 799,700 won in South Korea, which is $713 when converted to the U.S. dollar. No information was detailed regarding a U.S. launch.
As Latinos Post reported, Apple is planning its golden iPhone for a rumored Sept. 10 special event.
According to AllThingsD, sources confirmed the gold-toned iPhone along with the traditional black and white offerings. A gold-colored device is apparently a "sought-after" color choice for buyers, particularly for China's high-end markets.
The next Apple smartphone, whether known as the iPhone 5S or iPhone 6, is expected to make its debut on Sept. 10, and will reportedly go on sale Sept. 20.
