Caviar, known for its custom luxury devices, is back with another customized device. We are talking about the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate tri-folding smartphone, which was unveiled earlier this month in China in black and red colors and has a base price of CNY 19,999 (US$ 2,850/€ 2,555/INR 238,785). Caviar's customized Huawei Mate XT Ultimate is part of its Rich Colors collection and has two versions - Black Dragon and Gold Dragon.
The Black Dragon model is inspired by the
Xuanlong Dragon from Chinese mythology and is wrapped in black crocodile
leather, resembling the scales of the Xuanlong Dragon. It's also accented with
gold-plated details.
The Gold Dragon model, on the other hand,
is entirely covered with 24k gold, with the surface sporting a texture of
imperial swords crafted in the Chinese city Longquan - a place where the
Chinese art of multi-layer sword forging originated. Caviar says it will make
88 units of both versions since 88 is considered a lucky number in Chinese
culture.
Both models come in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB
storage options. The Black Dragon version costs US$ 12,770, US$ 13,200, and US$ 13,630,
respectively, while the Gold Dragon model is priced at US$ 14,500, US$ 14,930, and US$ 15,360, respectively. The standard Mate XT Ultimate, launched by Huawei, is
currently China-exclusive, with an international launch slated for Q1 2025.
