# Luxurious Leather Smartphones The $6,000 88 Tauri Was Unveiled Just Before CES 2015 Kicked Off By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-01-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/88-tauri References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/hands-on-with-lamborghinis-ridiculous-88-tauri-smartphone/35471/) & [lamborghinimobile](http://www.lamborghinimobile.com/en/88tauriteaser/) The 88 Tauri is the brand new smartphone, previewed at an exclusive invite-only event just prior to CES 2015, developed by [Tonino Lamborghini Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tecno-x-tonino-lamborghini) -- yes, the same Lamborghini that makes those fancy cars. This phone is the follow-up to Lamborghini's [Antares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-antares-oled-tv) luxury phone. The 88 Tauri comes with the glitz and glamour you'd hope to get from a $6,000 smartphone -- it features a slick leather finish, metal panels in black, gold or metallic silver and Lamborghini's iconic 'raging bull' icon. It's a phone designed to turn heads with its flashy appearance. In terms of specs, the phone features Snapdragon 801, Android KitKat and a 5-inch HD display. While this may not be the most impressive in terms of hardware and software, this is first and foremost a smartphone designed to draw attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in combining high-end materials with technology, creating unique products. - **Experiential Marketing:** Opportunity for innovative marketing strategies that emphasize the aesthetics and tactile qualities of luxury tech products. - **High-end Accessories:** Opportunity for the development of high-end accessories that complement and enhance the luxury tech experience, such as custom cases, headphones, and charging stations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Goods:** Potential for luxury goods companies to expand into the high-end tech market and create new revenue streams. - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to differentiate themselves by incorporating high-end materials and design elements into their products. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Potential for fashion and accessories companies to collaborate with tech companies to create innovative, high-end products that appeal to the luxury market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Gilded Folding Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-xt-ultimate-design-gold-dragon.md) - [Electric Vehicle Component Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-13-pro-electro.md) - [Collaborative Automotive Luxury Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic7-rsr.md) - [Gilded Valentine's Day Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro.md) - [Celebratory Supercar Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automobili-lamborghini-x-casetify-collection.md) - [Demure Specialty Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-60-rs-ultimate-design.md) - [Luxury Watchmaker Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-12-pro-rolex-edition.md) - [Luxury Bespoke Smartphones Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g.md)
