Though not everybody may celebrate the Chinese New Year, it’s an important event for many. To commemorate the coming of the Lunar New Year, a new Gold Edition Razer phone has been announced. Fans looking for an awesome new gaming phone and also celebrate the Spring Festival are in luck.

This Gold Edition Razer phone is the same as the standard edition that launched last year with a cosmetic tweak. Rather than the iconic green triple headed snake, a golden variant of the symbol accents the phone. The device comes in gorgeous red and gold themed packaging and also features a golden letter of authenticity.

A phone can’t just look good, it needs to be able to preform as well. According to Razer, this Gold Edition phone will have no troubles keeping up:

• The Razer Phone is the first smartphone to support BOTH Netflix HDR and 5.1 surround sound content, and is the best way to watch your favorite shows on-the-go.
• Enjoy a stunning screen backed by UltraMotion™ technology that delivers refresh rates up to 120 Hz. This means, zero lag or stuttering—just fluid, buttery smooth motion content for you to enjoy. And with a Quad HD display boasting wide color gamut, everything looks vibrant and sharp.
• With Dolby Atmos, enjoy a cinematic sound experience all around you reproduced through front-firing speakers and dual amplifiers. And when you’re listening with headphones, hardware certified by THX guarantees audiophile quality sound for your entertainment.
• Powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with 8GB RAM, get the ultimate viewing and gaming experience, backed by superior battery life for longer enjoyment. Fine tune your experience with Game Booster, confident that best-in-class thermal design produces less throttling to fully maximize the phone’s power and performance.
• With 12MP dual cameras, you have complete versatility whether you’re snapping a group shot or zooming in on the action. Smoothly transition from the f1.7 wide angle lens to 2x telephoto to frame the perfect shot. And with a dual tone flash, colors always look balanced and natural.
• Equipped with a 4,000 mAh battery — one of the largest capacities found in any smartphone — the Razer Phone provides the absolute freedom to watch, listen and play as much as you want without ever being caught with a red battery bar.

Razer isn’t the only company celebrating the Spring Festival. Blizzard is participating as well with their own special Lunar New Year event for Overwatch. Will you be participating in the coming of the Chinese New Year?

This special edition of the phone can be purchased directly from Razer at the price of $699.99, which is the same as the standard edition. Fans can also find the ohone at select Hong Kong retailers.
