The Motorola Aura Diamond Edition is essentially a jazzed up version of the [Motorola Aura](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sexy-unsmartphones-motorola-aura-boasts-outer-beauty-over-inner) promoted last year, and costs about $3,700 more than its predecessor. The reason for the price difference: diamonds, diamonds, diamonds! Plated in 18-karat gold, it boasts thirty-four [dazzling diamonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-and-jacob-co), thirty of which adorn the phone’s front circular display (the remaining four decorate the phone’s navigation key and keypad). The Motorola Aura Diamond Edition also includes CrystalTalk technology, [stereo Bluetooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorola-moto-smartphones), email, web browsing, camera, and 2GB of internal memory. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Tech:** The trend of luxury tech products is growing, presenting opportunities for companies to create indulgent and extravagant devices for consumers who value high-end products. - **Personalization:** The trend of personalization is continuing to grow, and companies can capitalize on it by offering customization options for their luxury tech devices, allowing consumers to create a one-of-a-kind product. - **Status Symbol:** Luxury tech devices have become a status symbol for consumers, especially in the high-end market, creating opportunities for companies to market and sell to consumers who value exclusivity and extravagance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can capitalize on the trend of luxury tech, by creating high-end tech products that appeal to those who value exclusivity and high-end items. - **Smartphone:** The smartphone industry can offer personalization options, such as customized cases or engravings, to capitalize on the trend of personalization in luxury tech devices. - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry can partner with tech companies to create blinged-out tech products, presenting opportunities for consumers to combine their love of high-end jewelry and technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Pink Socialite Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razr-plus-1.md) - [Gilded Folding Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-xt-ultimate-design-gold-dragon.md) - [Nostalgic Updated Flip Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razr-bundle.md) - [Opulent Alligator Leather Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertu-agent-q.md) - [Gilded Valentine's Day Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro.md) - [Gold-Rimmed Foldable Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-razr.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Rhinestone Earphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glam-earpods-holder.md) - [Curvaceous Flagship Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-flagship-smartphone.md)
