Soccer legend Lionel Messi has had a great World Cup career and now his team is positioned to take on Spain for the championship. The championship game is scheduled to be played on Sunday and just a few days later, Samsung launches the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. If you’re a big Messi fan and excited for the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the stars have aligned for a perfect match. However, it will leave a huge dent in your wallet.
luxury brand Caviar has unveiled a custom Lionel Messi-themed edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. As part of the company’s “Legends” collection, the phone features a portrait of the Argentine soccer icon. If you’re interested in this special edition version of the Fold 8 Ultra, it will cost you over $13,000. Specifically, it starts at $13,130 for 256GB of storage, $13,490 for the 512GB tier, and $13,840 for the 1TB model.
What makes this special edition so expensive? As the company explains, the body is made using the cloisonné enamel technique. This is a metalworking technique in which thin strips of metal are welded to a base. The voids are then filled with colored glass paste and fired in a kiln to produce decorative glass-like designs. In addition, the outlines of the portrait, the frame, the jersey number and the national symbols are highlighted with 24-carat gold plating. And only 19 of these bad boys are available worldwide.
While it would be nice to have for any Messi fan, I’m sure most people will be satisfied with just the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. But even the standard model isn’t exactly cheap. Leaks suggest that Samsung’s top-tier foldable model will start at $2,099. Still, that’s much more affordable than a whopping $13,000.
