Caviar’s commemorative Nokia 3310 Supremo Putin brings a gold and titanium finish to Nokia’s revised take on the legendary handset.
In hindsight, we think the parallels between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Nokia’s 3310 are plentiful. Both are apparently indestructible, sport simple tastes, and are responsible for roughly half the memes that power the internet.
That’s why our hearts swelled with joy when we caught wind of Caviar’s Nokia 3310 Supremo Putin which, all jargon aside, is a custom take on Nokia’s brand new handset which brings the most rugged force in the universe to the back of the handset – Vladimir Putin himself. Gold and titanium also feature.

Caviar is famed for incorporating fine finishes onto legendary handsets, and Nokia’s new 3310 is the latest device to benefit from the luxury treatment. While the device’s housing is comprised of meshed titanium and features gold trimming, the same internals of Nokia’s 3310 reside under the hood.
On the rear of the phone sits the embossed visage of Vladimir Putin, while the Russian national anthem is etched on the device’s outer shell. For that kind of luxury, you might imagine the lofty price of a few thousand Rand or a few hundred Dollars; if that’s the case, think again!
The Nokia 3310 Supremo Putin will retail for a whopping $1700 USD, equating to 99,000 Russian Roubles. So, if you value meme appeal and want to make your Nokia 3310 even more indestructible than it already is, you might want to consider splurging on Caviar’s latest custom handset here.
