With the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in full swing, one item that has captivated spectators and fans around the world is the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition — the same phone that Samsung Electronics has specially designed for all athletes competing in this year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games.

As the first smartphone to stand on the Olympic podium, the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition is powered by Galaxy AI to help athletes communicate freely in different languages, fully share their Olympic experiences, and seamlessly prepare for their competitions. Medalists also immortalized their moments of glory on the Olympic podium with victory selfies taken using the foldable phone.

Samsung Newsroom has unboxed the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition, designed to reflect Galaxy’s brand value of embracing the Olympic spirit.

The gold track running through the neat black packaging and the Galaxy Z Flip6 folded in the middle are the first design elements to catch the eye. Below the image are the Olympic rings, Paralympic shakers, and the Samsung logo, symbolizing the bond Samsung shares with the International Olympic Committee as a Worldwide Partner.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition packaging consists of two boxes, one for the smartphone and another for the Flipsuit case. The box containing the device features the same track design as the outer packaging, while the box containing the Flipsuit case features a mix of vibrant colors that heightens the anticipation before unboxing.

The cover screen lights up with a special surprise message dedicated to the athletes

When Olympic athletes turn on the device, they will be pleasantly surprised by a specially designed welcome message. “You, the athletes, are the heart of the Olympic and Paralympic Movement,” reads the message, which demonstrates our unwavering support for those who will be the stars of the Games.

The cover screen and main display align with the Olympic flag colors for added fun. The cover screen (FlexWindow) theme depicts a race track from an athlete’s perspective to celebrate the importance of competition at the Olympic Games.

The circuit design that appears on the main screen when the device is unfolded symbolises a circuit board, a key element of Samsung’s mobile innovations, and conveys the message that athletes are the heart and soul of the Olympic Games.

Various apps and services are available on the device for the convenience of athletes. Official Olympic apps are pre-installed on the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition, including Athlete365, which provides information on Olympic competitions and personalized content for athletes, and Paris 2024, which provides general information about the Olympic Games, such as the event schedule and medal standings. Entertainment, shopping and gaming apps are also included.

The Flipsuit Case is an accessory that makes using the Galaxy Z Flip6 even more fun. Users can personalize their devices by attaching an NFC-enabled Flipsuit card to the case and display an automatically synchronized animation of the card’s image on the cover screen.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition comes with an exclusive Flipsuit case and Flipsuit Card. Crafted from luxurious leather, the Flipsuit Card features an aesthetic color palette inspired by the Olympic flag for a unique texture and feel.
