Caviar just unveiled the Totem collection, a set of modded Galaxy S26 Ultra. The flagship model, Fire Horse, clocks in at $11,490, while the cheapest model costs $10,490.

Only 76 people can buy into this particular fever dream. Each Totem design, whether it’s the Fire Horse or the Lion or the Falcon or the Wolf, gets capped at 19 units.

The phone’s cost, $11,490, is three months of rent in most American cities for a phone with hand-painted red enamel and a 24K gold horse rearing up on the back.

The Fire Horse treatment involves hand-applied red enamel layered over black titanium with a PVD coating that watchmakers like Richard Mille lean on when they want something durable that looks expensive.

The horse itself is a bas-relief sculpture, not a sticker. It’s meant to honor the Fire Horse in the Eastern Zodiac, which governs 2026. That said, the money isn’t just buying gold plating, though there’s plenty of that.

The other three Totem variants follow the same playbook.

Caviar knows its audience

Caviar’s been doing this for years now. Slap gold and carbon fiber on flagships, invent some mystical narrative around archetypes or zodiac signs, then sell them to people who find normal luxury boring.

This isn’t for people budgeting their next upgrade. It’s for people who want a conversation piece that doubles as a status object and happens to make phone calls.

A regular Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at $1,300, while Caviar wants eight times that for materials and craftsmanship. You’re still getting the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, same 200MP camera, same privacy display tech.
