Russian luxury brand Caviar has introduced a limited-edition “Legends” smartphone collection built around the long-running rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The lineup includes a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 featuring Messi’s portrait and an iPhone 17 Pro Max with Ronaldo’s image.
The release is timed to the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, which the company says is expected to be the last World Cup for both players.
According to the source, the portraits are made by hand using the hot cloisonné enamel technique and decorative elements coated with 999 gold. Caviar gave the two phones distinct visual treatments: the Messi-themed Samsung uses calmer white and light blue tones, while the Ronaldo iPhone gets a brighter design.
The “Legends” collection is limited to 19 units in total. Pricing starts at 799,000 rubles for the Samsung Z Fold 8 “Messi” and 679,000 rubles for the iPhone 17 Pro Max “Ronaldo.”
