While we're busy debating over Samsung and Apple and which one has the best phone ever (or currently, at least), a new brand enters the smartphone market.

Have you ever heard of Dreame? This Chinese brand is most popular for their vacuum cleaners, but they manufacture various household products like mowers, hair dryers, TVs, window-cleaning robots, air purifiers and whatnot.

Now, they go in the smartphone direction.

Phones made of pure gold

Per Digital Chat Station – give or take the most reputable tipster on Weibo (China's biggest and most important social media platform) – Dreame will soon release their Aurora phone series. There'll be the Phoenix and the Golden Dragon exclusive custom models. The leakster doesn't disclose any hardware or software specifications about these two flagships, but the claim is that they'll be made from a pure gold back panel, genuine gemstones and diamonds.

What's more, the back panel will feature an engraving of either a phoenix or a dragon – extremely detailed and posh. If this is your kind of thing, you'll love it.

If, however, you fancy sleek and simple handsets, you'll probably want to look in the other direction.

Any way, here's the Aurora Dreame variants:



The leakster also says that these "[...] should be the most luxurious mobile phone in terms of materials to date".

These could also have a triple or quadruple rear camera setup, judging by the sheer size of that camera island.

There's no mention of price yet, but that "pure gold" and "genuine gemstones" part speaks volumes to me. This series could be extremely expensive.

Not their first phone

Some days ago, Dreame teased several more phones – Dreame E1, Dreame Air1 and Dreame RS1. As the moniker suggests, the Air1 is all about being thin and lightweight (5.9mm chassis, 172 grams), the E1 is a budget-friendly 6.67-inch device with a 5,000 mAh battery and the RS1 is… a flagship.

The Dreame RS1 brings Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 to the table, paired with a huge 7,200 mAh battery (90W charging speeds), a 50 MP + 64 MP + 50 MP rear camera setup and a 6.85-inch AMOLED display.

The most notable feature of the RS1 is its design – like the Aurora series, it's… flamboyant. But its back plate is said to be gold-plated and covered in artificial gemstones. That's why it costs "only" about a thousand dollars in Europe.
