# Religious Figure Phones Golden Buddha Mobile Packs Supreme Smartphone Serenity By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-09-11 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-buddha References: [ubergizmo](http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2009/09/golden_buddha_cellphone.html) & [chinavasion](http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/golden-buddha-cellphone-with-genuine-jade-reserve-edition/) Now I can’t promise that this [Golden Buddha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clip-on-smartphone-lens) cell phone will help you find inner peace, but I can promise you’ll be turning heads left and right every time you use it. The Golden Buddha cell phone was designed by Chinavision (no high-end stuff to back this product up with) and features a 24k [gold plated finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-collection) that is designed as “the single best phone for the successful businesswoman that wants to announce her elite status to the world.” I wouldn’t think a Golden Buddha cell phone would do that, but I will say I wouldn’t hesitate to pull out this baby to show off to the world. It comes in at a whopping $1,877 (CAD). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Religious](https://www.trendhunter.com/religious) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Tech:** Opportunity for luxury brands to integrate technology into their products and cater to affluent consumers. - **Status Symbol Innovation:** Potential to create unique status symbols with innovative designs and materials, appealing to individuals seeking exclusivity. - **Religious-inspired Accessories:** Emerging trend of incorporating religious symbolism into fashion and lifestyle products, targeting spiritually inclined consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity for luxury brands to create high-end products with unique designs and features, appealing to affluent customers. - **Technology:** Potential for technology companies to collaborate with luxury brands and create innovative tech products that offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal. - **Fashion:** Rising demand for religious-inspired accessories presents an opportunity for fashion brands to create unique pieces that cater to spiritually inclined consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Gilded Valentine's Day Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro.md) - [Opulent Alligator Leather Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertu-agent-q.md) - [Fun-Focused Festival Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brahma-phone.md) - [Artful Aluminum Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-1.md) - [Gold-Rimmed Foldable Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-razr.md) - [Luxurious Smartphone Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-iphone-15-pro-max.md) - [Luxury Web3 Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metavertu.md) - [Luxury Bespoke Smartphones Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g.md)
