Project: 24K GOLD Xperia™ P

November 23, 2012 - 4:23 PM

Hey -

I just wanted to let you know about a pretty cool project we’ve been working on recently – our limited edition gold Xperia P.

We’re always looking at new ways of working with different materials – during a recent creative session, we were throwing ideas around at what we could do to highlight Xperia P’s sleek unibody design and aluminium back cover…

And, what better than gold; 24k’s worth to be precise.

I’m told no more than 15 have been made – it might be worth keeping an eye on our global Facebook page next week if you like the sound of it/fancy striking gold

Have a good weekend,

Ant.

[...] Outside of custom projects, the cardinal rule for draping phones in exotic materials is that they must never, ever be truly high end devices: at best, they should involve mid-tier hardware that could be eclipsed by a garden-variety smartphone at a fraction of the price. Sony’s maintaining that all too time-honored tradition by producing a gold-coated, 24-carat version of… the Xperia P.

Sony’s maintaining that all too time-honored tradition by producing a gold-coated, 24-carat version of… the Xperia P. Yes, rather than spruce up a flagship like the James Bond-approved Xperia T, Sony has instead given the luxury treatment to a smartphone with a strictly middling 4-inch display and dual-core 1GHz processor. In fairness, the company sees this as an experiment rather than a Vertu-like business model, with the intent strictly to emphasize the unibody design. A maximum 15 have been built as a result — and rather than count on impulse purchases from oligarchs, Sony hints that it’s offering at least some of its gold Xperia P stock to followers on Facebook. As long as there’s no pretenses of living the high life with what’s really a very ordinary phone underneath, we’re satisfied. Filed under: Cellphones, Mobile, Sony Comments Source: Sony [...]
