Samsung launched
the Galaxy Note9 on August 9 with a price tag of US$ 999/€ 999 for the basic 128 GB
variant. It arrived in four fancy colors and Gorilla Glass 5 protecting the
back panel.
The luxury smartphone
company Caviar that is based in Russia decided that price and looks are not
flashy enough and launched the Galaxy Note9 with 1 kilogram of pure gold on the
back. We’re not joking, just look at the images.
The Samsung Galaxy
Note9 Fine Gold Edition retains its internals with Caviar choosing to focus on
the looks only. The Russian customization company also offers the Galaxy Note9
in variants with golden engraving, alligator leather, composite onyx in fancy
shapes and forms, including a golden logo of the Russian Federation. While
these cost around € 3,000, they are dirt cheap, compared to the Fine Gold
Edition.
It starts at
RUB 3,87 million or around US$ 60,000/€ 50,000. No, we didn’t put some extra zeros,
this is the actual price. And if you want the 512 GB variant, you must shed
around US$ 300/€ 250 more.
