LG G2 Gold

Apple introduced the iPhone 5S in Gold last year. We have already seen gold variants of the Samsung Galaxy S4, Note 3, HTC One and BlackBerry Q10. LG introduced the LG G2 in Black and White colors back in August last year. Now the company has introduced Gold and Red colored variants of the LG G2 for Singapore market. The Gold variant would also be available in Taiwan. As you can see, these phones have Gold and Red colored back, but a small strip around camera module and hardware buttons on the back are in Black. LG has introduced these new color variants  just in time for Lunar New Year that is celebrated in some Asian countries on January 31st.
