Earlier this morning some images and details of a rose gold Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone surfaced via the Samsung Argentina website. Those product listings were then removed from the site. The official press release for the new rose gold and red smartphones has now surfaced.
Samsung has confirmed that in addition to the existing black, white, and pink Galaxy Note 3 smartphones, two new gold versions and a merlot red unit are coming. The gold versions include rose gold with white or black accents. The forthcoming Merlot red version is a dark red color, but not quite maroon.
Other than being offered with new colors on the outside, the rose gold and merlot smartphones are the same as the earlier versions. Samsung says that the rose gold Galaxy Note 3 smartphones will match exactly with the rose gold Galaxy Gear smartwatch for those who like to coordinate their fashions.
“At Samsung Mobile, we understand that consumers view their mobile devices as an extension of their personal style, and Samsung is committed to delivering fresh ways for consumers to express themselves,” said Younghee Lee, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing, IT & Mobile Division at Samsung Electronics. “By introducing these new editions of Galaxy Note 3, we want to provide our fashion-forward consumers with more ways to express their personality and tastes through our technology.”
