Samsung Galaxy S7 Putinphone
The Russian phone customization experts
at Caviar are at it again, revealing the newest Putinphone. This one's based on
Samsung's Galaxy S7, and like all other Putinphones before it comes with
President Putin's face engraved on the back. And, to give your handset that
extra shot of bling it so desperately needed, one version of the S7-based
Putinphone features 190 actual rubies around Putin's face.
Everything else on the back is gold, and
only three of these "Caviar Samsung Supremo Putin Rubino" models will
be made. You can be the lucky owner of one for the measly sum of RUB 1,790,000,
or US$ 27,213.
If you want Putin's face on your phone
but simply can't afford the Rubino Galaxy S7 described above, perhaps you do
have enough dough to buy the Mixed Metals iteration, which is only RUB 169,000
(US$ 2,570). This one has yellow and white gold on it, no rubies though.
Finally, the peasant's Galaxy S7 Putinphone
is the RUB 159,000 (US$ 2,418) "Caviar Samsung Supremo Putin", which
boasts a titanium plate on the back that's gold-colored.
All of these are up for pre-order now
from Caviar's official website. All have the Russian coat of arms engraved on
the back underneath Putin's head, and in the lower part two lines from the
country's national anthem.
If you love Russia, but don't want
Putin's head on your phone, the "Caviar Atlante Russia Ornamento" is
for you. For just RUB 149,000 (US$ 2,266), you get a colored version of the
Russian coat of arms and the traditional Russian painting technique called
Khokhloma showing you some very colorful berries and flowers.
