▲Golden S11

Golden S series has a young and stylish design, this time Gold S11 continues the fashionable design and brings a 5.99-inch full-screen, Gold S11 does not use a full metal body design, instead of the curved glass back cover and 304 stainless steel frame design, looks more stylish, the Gold S11 is more than a full metal body design. The Golden S11 is available in Moonlight Blue, Space Gold and Cherry Blossom Pink colors.

▲Golden S11 back

▲Golden S11 back

This time, the Gold S11 adopts a curved glass back cover design, which brings a more rounded body design, and brings a very obvious enhancement to both the hand feel and the visual aspect. The curved glass on the back of the Gold S11 has gone through how many crafts and processes, so that the glass is formed into a curvature around the circumference of the glass to form a perfect continuous arc, which makes the phone feel softer in the hand. The phone feels softer in the hand. The curved glass lining of the Golden S11 runs a five-layer structure of optical coating and micro-nano texture, etc. Each layer is carefully polished, forging a unique structural texture that is so detailed that the width and density are 5um, which ultimately presents 3D dynamic light and shadow, creating a visual effect of streaming light and color, and allowing the S11S to present a different beauty at different angles through the transformation of light and shadow.
