Apart from being a powerful political figure, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, has quite a large fan following. Now devoted followers of Putin can purchase a Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone that has his portrait engraved on it!
A Russian company called Caviar is the brain behind the premium offering dubbed Samsung Supremo Putin Rubino. This exclusive and customized variant of the Galaxy S7 smartphone bears the Russian president's portrait on the rear of the handset.
This is not an ordinary portrait, though, as the Samsung Supremo Putin Rubino's is made from gold, and its rear is adorned with precious stones — 190 rubies to be exact!
"One of the most expensive models in the history of the Caviar — unique in its dedication to luxury and wealth to the President of Russia — Vladimir Putin, made in a combination of gold and rubies. Unusual and bright solution, designers used the Caviar, eye-catching and embodies the royal splendor of this model," notes the description of the handset.
Caviar is only going to make three units of the Samsung Supremo Putin Rubino, so this limited edition model is perfect for Putin devotees who want exclusivity. For those wondering about the damages for this 32 GB customized model of the flagship Samsung smartphone — it will cost $27,000 or 1.79 million rubles.
Caviar is known to be a specialist when it comes to smartphone customizations. Interestingly, this is not the first Putin phone from the company, which is indicative of the demand.
Oligarchs who are not so keen on acquiring the ruby-encrusted portrait of Putin variant of the Samsung Galaxy S7 from Caviar have other options that are less ostentatious. For instance, the yellow-gold Samsung Supremo Putin variant, which is made from titanium and is $2,400 or 159,000 rubles. This variant is up for preorder.
Alternately, one can opt for the white gold variant called Samsung Supremo Putin Mixed Metals, which will cost $2,600 or 169,000 rubles. Lastly, those with cheaper budget looking for a customized Galaxy S7 — but not with any engraving of Putin — can opt for the Atlante Russia Ornamento model from Caviar, which has the traditional Khokhloma painting on its back. This model will cost $2,250 or 149,000 rubles.
All the Caviar-customized Galaxy S7 smartphones come with a one-year warranty and free shipping.
