# Luxuriously Adorned Smartphones The Samsung Crystal Edition Galaxy is Made with Swarovski Crystals By Nicole Ballantyne-Choo | Published 2013-11-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-crystal-edition References: [newlaunches](http://newlaunches.com/archives/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-mini-crystal-edition.php) & [gsmarena](http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_mini_gets_crystal_edition_in_germany-news-7197.php) With Christmas in less than a month, the [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s23-ultra-bmw-m-edition) Crystal Edition Galaxy is the perfect gift for someone you wish to spoil. While this limited edition SIII [mini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooper-dejea) is absolutely stunning, it's really just for show as there are no added software or usability features; the only difference is the bling. This particular Galaxy is made with 166 [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-collection) crystals that adorn the back of the phone on the battery cover. If you're someone who's prone to dropping your smartphone, this may not be the best device for you, as you'll probably be in tears if some crystals fall off. For people who are planning to get a new phone for Christmas anyway, this Samsung Crystal Edition Galaxy is something worth looking into; it costs $403, which is a pretty standard price for new smartphones. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## 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 Smartphone Accessories:** There is an opportunity for companies to create luxury smartphone accessories that add aesthetic value and personalization to smartphones. - **High-end Limited Editions:** Companies can create high-end limited edition versions of popular smartphone models to cater to individuals looking for unique and exclusive products. - **Fashion-tech Collaborations:** The collaboration between fashion and technology opens up possibilities for creating stylish and fashionable smartphones that appeal to fashion-conscious consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Accessories:** Luxury accessory brands can capitalize on the trend of adorned smartphones by creating high-end, crystal-encrusted accessories designed specifically for smartphones. - **Tech Gadgets:** Tech gadget companies can explore the market for limited edition smartphones and collaborate with luxury brands to create exclusive, high-end smartphone models. - **Fashion and Mobile Tech:** Fashion companies and mobile tech companies can collaborate to design and produce stylish and fashion-forward smartphones that merge fashion and technology seamlessly. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Crystal-Adorned Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-collection.md) - [Tennis-Inspired Premium Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-z-flip-6.md) - [Gilded Valentine's Day Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro.md) - [Collaboration Automotive Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s23-ultra-bmw-m-edition.md) - [Stocking Stuffer Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tech21.md) - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Pinkish Toy-Inspired Tech Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-barbiecore-collection.md) - [Sustainable Technology Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-x-msftsrep-ecoconscious-collection.md) - [Durable Low-Cost Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-watch-fe.md)
