Samsung confirms pink gold and silver titanium Galaxy Note 5 to rival Apple's iPhone 6s Plus

Apple had already tapped rose gold and silver shades for its iPhone 6S Plus. It looks like its main rival, Samsung, also wants to have the same colours for its Galaxy Note 5 tablet.

Considering the Cupertino-based tech giant is cashing in big time on its recently launched smartphone and phablet flagships, rival companies are now hard at work on their own handsets' features and designs. This by capitalizing on features that Apple introduced for its products such as the rose gold and silver variants of the popular iPhone 6s Plus, as Tech Times pointed out.

According to the report, there are also rumours the Korean tech company has plans of coming up with its own 3D Touch feature to further rival Apple. Apple's new 3D Touch capability is exclusive to its iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus devices.

Although reports about Samsung's own 3D Touch version remains unconfirmed at this point, what has been revealed by Samsung is that it will soon market silver titanium and pink gold variants to its flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 5. These colours will certainly resemble Apple's rose gold and silver variants.

That said, these new colours will initially only be available in South Korea. It’s expected Samsung will eventually expand these colours into other countries such as the United States.

In addition to Samsung, another tech company has also been inspired by Apple with regards to overall design. Recently leaked photos of HTC's One A9 made their rounds on the Internet in late August, according to another Tech Times report.

Clearly, this particular unit was hugely influenced by Apple's design. The One A9's plastic antenna cutouts were a dead ringer to the ones on Apple's iPhone 6. This new HTC device is expected to launch during HTC's October 20 press event. Apart from the device’s design, HTC will also use pink gold colours for the One A9.
