To give you more information, Karalux has worked on Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and Note 4 before. However, as Samsung Galaxy Note 5 frame is made from a different material than those mentioned, the process takes longer. The engineers need to go through 10 steps to coat the phone with gold.

Firstly, they disassemble the phone, then take out the parts needed to be coated with gold. During this processor, the material of Samsung Galaxy Note 5 frame is disclosed. It is said to be the 7000 series aluminum, which is stronger and tougher than other kinds of aluminum. Another plus point for Galaxy Note 5 ?

After that, the parts will be coated with an extra layer of protecting material, so that the gold layer will not be damaged. This technology is also used on Rolls Royce, now how luxury is that?

The gold-plating process costs around PHP 17k, while an already gold-plated Samsung Galaxy Note 5 costs around PHP 52k. This is a lot, of course, since Samsung Galaxy Note 5 price in Philippines is just around 35k. However, if anyone wants one, Karalux also ships worldwide.
