The new luxury Samsung and iPhone models are dedicated to Messi and Ronaldo

When it comes to luxury smartphones, there is one name that stands out above all thanks to its extravagant designs, aimed at an audience seeking unique and eye-catching devices.

Caviar is a company specializing in luxury customisations, with an eye on tech: its products are characterised by precious metals, fine materials and gems, and sometimes hide surprises (such as a fragment of T-Rex or the famous Steve Jobs’ Dolce Vita).

The latest news celebrate the 2026 FIFA World Cup with two special editions dedicated to Messi and Ronaldo: at the center of the stage are the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro, both adorned as only Caviar knows how to do.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro: here are the Caviar World Cup-themed editions with Messi and Ronaldo

It should be noted that the company customizes only the exterior of the phones, replacing the original shell with an ultra-luxury version. In this case the glass and metal components of the flagship Apple and Samsung devices have been replaced with enamel and gold, and each model is dedicated to a footballer.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra (still unreleased, the launch is set for July 22) features a portrait of Messi on the back, with the number 10 on the jersey; the image is produced with the cloisonné enamel technique, while the frame and details are plated in 24-carat gold.

The price starts from $13,130 for the 256 GB version, a figure in line with the rest of Caviar’s catalog.

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo: the athlete’s portrait is rendered with the same technique but the colors evoke those of the Portuguese national team. For this version the price starts from $11,410, in the 256 GB configuration (of the Pro model).

Each smartphone will be produced in only 19 units, with a personalized packaging that includes a coin featuring the Caviar logo and a gold-plated key.
