Moreover, there is optional black-painted sapphire crystal in the corners and the same material [sapphire crystal] is also used for the back of the phone, battery door and the few buttons Grand Touch has.
Mobiado’s luxury smartphone is available in six colors: black, black satin, blue, grey, red, and silver, while the Grand Touch GCB (the brass edition) comes in yellow or rose gold…
