The HMD Global-revived iteration of Nokia 3310 turned out to be a crowd-pleaser. Bearing a budget-friendly price tag, the feature phone is expected to hit the store shelves in several markets worldwide soon.

If that weren't enough, a Russian company has come out with a premium version of the nostalgia phone. But unlike its aforesaid cost-effective 3310 version, this premium handset is exclusively designed for smartphone lovers who have very deep pockets and don't mind shelling out a whopping RUB 99,000 (about $1702) for a gold and titanium version of the Nokia 3310 dubbed, 'Supremo Putin.'

One of Nokia 3310 gold edition's most striking features is the embossed face of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the rear. This is accompanied by an excerpt from Russian national anthem.

The 'Supremo Putin' version of the Nokia 3310 comes in black with gold plating and is housed in a dotted titanium body, complete with Putin's face in gold on the back. Moreover, the national anthem is embossed on a gold plate. The premium Nokia 3310 is made by the Russian firm 'Caviar', which is renowned for making radically artistic iterations of phones, according to News18.
