What’s New: Luxury Build & Collector-Grade Design
The Golden Saga Edition stands out with premium materials and attention to detail rarely seen in gaming phones:

- The frame features a mirror-finish silver build, adding to the luxury feel.
- Internally, the cooling system gets a major upgrade: gold-plated liquid cooling, including a gold-plated vapor chamber and gold/silver accented air ducts. Even small touches — power button, logo, SIM-eject tool — come with metallic finishing.
- The phone is packaged as a true “collector’s edition,” with special gift-box packaging.
Core Hardware & Performance: Flagship-Level Inside
