Sony has been offering its Xperia smartphones with several interesting paint jobs, including Copper and Turquoise, but now it appears that the company is thinking of bringing back a coloring option it hasn’t used in a while.

Sony is hosting an event on August 3, so in its anticipation, the company has posted several teasers online hinting at what’s about to come. The latest says “something golden is sparkling at the horizon.”

The company has also shared an image which zooms in on a device that has a gold-tint to it, revealing it will be waterproof in the process, too. In all possibility, Sony is going to unveil the bezeless Xperia C5 Ultra model in a few days.

The phone is tipped to arrive with a 5.5-inch full HD (1080p) resolution display and an octa-core MediaTek processor paired with 2GB of RAM under the hood. There’s also 16GB of internal storage on board (expandable to 128GB via microSD card slot) and a 13MP/13MP camera combo.

As you can see, the device is actually targeted at selfie lovers, hence the powerful frontal snapper. The phone should arrive with Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box with some of Sony’s own apps and features baked in.
