Releasing smartphones with some sort of
customisation in the guise of limited edition phones are increasingly becoming
a common practice amongst manufacturers despite the huge price tag associated
with them.
The company has now announced the Samsung Galaxy
Note 8 X 99 Avant Limited Edition in Korea. The device at the moment is limited
to Korea where it will retail for 1,991,000 Won.
Designed in partnership with 99 Avant, the Samsung
Galaxy Note 8 X 99 Avant Limited Edition which will be limited to 99 units only
has no special designs on its casing but comes with a separate hand-crafted
case that features the exclusive artwork and signature of Han Seung-Woo. The
device features a unique AVA code to attest to its authenticity. Also part of
the limited edition device are some specially made wallpapers and icons based
on artworks from 99 Avant.
Other than the aforementioned customisations and the
addition of 256GB of storage, nothing seems to have changed from the regular
Note 8 with its inbuilt stylus.
This isn’t the first we are seeing a special edition
device with such a huge price tag, Just about a week ago, LG unveiled the LG V30
Signature Edition priced at about US$ 1,800.
