Caviar Launches $12,560 Galaxy Z Fold 8 Editions, Limiting Scarface, Joker and Godfather Models to 19

Q: Will Caviar's heavy 24-karat gold and enamel completely ruin the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra's record-breaking 4.1mm ultra-thin profile?

No, but it will almost certainly compromise it to some degree. Samsung’s headline 4.1mm figure applies to the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra in its factory form when unfolded. Caviar is not selling a simple snap-on case; it rebuilds the phone’s exterior with cloisonné enamel layers, metal contours and 24-karat gold-plated accents. Those materials add thickness and weight by definition, especially on the back panel. What is unclear is how much. Caviar has not published revised dimensions or weight for the Joker-themed Fold 8 Ultra, so there is no evidence that the phone becomes dramatically bulky. But it would be unrealistic to expect a custom handset with fired enamel and gold detailing to preserve Samsung’s record-thin profile exactly. The key point is that Caviar’s buyers are not purchasing these devices for engineering purity. The company markets them as collectible luxury objects, and the searched material explicitly notes that such editions do not improve the phone’s processor, camera or core hardware. The trade-off is exclusivity and craftsmanship in exchange for some loss of the original minimalist design advantages. So the thinness record is effectively no longer the selling point once Caviar modifies the device. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra underneath still has Samsung’s ultra-thin architecture, but the finished Caviar version is best understood as a luxury art piece built on that platform, not a phone meant to showcase the untouched 4.1mm spec.

Caviar added three Hollywood-themed Galaxy Z Fold 8 variants to its Legends lineup, with Scarface and Godfather on the standard Fold 8 and Joker on the Fold 8 Ultra.
Only 19 units of each design will be made worldwide, and pricing starts at $12,560 for the 256GB Galaxy Z Fold 8, with Ultra versions priced higher.
Each phone uses handcrafted Cloisonné enamel portraits finished with 24-karat gold-plated accents, positioning the devices as jewelry-like collectibles rather than standard custom skins.
The release follows Caviar’s earlier roughly $13,000 Lionel Messi-themed Fold 8 Ultra, extending the brand’s strategy of ultra-exclusive Samsung foldables aimed at wealthy collectors.
