Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition: Unboxing That Phone on the Olympic Games Podium

SEOUL - With the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in full swing, one item that has fascinated spectators and fans worldwide is the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition — the same phone Samsung Electronics specially designed for all athletes participating in this year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games, according to the official website of Samsung Newsroom. 

Serving as the first smartphone on the Olympic Games podium, the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition is equipped with Galaxy AI to help athletes communicate freely across different languages, share their Olympic Games experiences to the fullest and seamlessly prepare for their competitions.

Medalists have also been capturing their moments of glory on the Olympic Games podium through Victory Selfies taken using the foldable.

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

First Impressions of the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition

The golden track running across the neat black packaging and the folded Galaxy Z Flip6 in the middle are the first design elements to attract attention. Underneath the image are the Olympic rings, Paralympic agitos and 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 with the device features the same track design as the outer packaging, whereas the box with the Flipsuit Case shows a vibrant mix of colors that heightens anticipation before unboxing.

Galaxy Z Flip6 With the Olympic Spirit

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition box contains the device, a USB-C cable and a brief user manual.

The most noticeable aspect of the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition is the striking yellow color reminiscent of the Olympics. The Olympic and Paralympic emblems as well as the Samsung logo are engraved on the back of the device, adding a unique charm and representing the spirit of cooperation.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition packs advanced technology into a compact form factor that fits inside the palm of one’s hand. The 50-megapixel rear wide-angle camera is powered by Galaxy AI— allowing athletes to capture and share special moments in the highest quality during the Games, including their Victory Selfies on the highly coveted Olympic Games podium.

Cover Screen Lights Up With Special Surprise Message Dedicated to Athletes

When Olympians turn on the device, they will be pleasantly surprised with a specially crafted welcome message. “You, the athletes, are the heart of the Olympic & Paralympic Movement” — the message reads, fully supporting those starring in the Games.

The Cover Screen and Main Display align with the colors of the Olympic flag for added fun. The theme on the cover screen (FlexWindow) depicts a running track from an athlete’s perspective to celebrate the significance of competing in the Olympics.

The circuit design that appears on the main screen when the device is unfolded symbolizes a circuit board, a core component of Samsung’s mobile innovations, and conveys the message that athletes are the heart and soul of the Olympics.

Various apps and services are available on the device for the athletes’ convenience. Pre-installed on the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition are official Olympic apps including Athlete365 —which provides Olympic competition information and personalized content for athletes — and Paris 2024 — which provides general information on the Olympics such as event schedules and the medal rankings. Entertainment, shopping and gaming apps are included as well.

A Special Flipsuit Case for a Special Phone

The Flipsuit Case is an accessory that makes using the Galaxy Z Flip6 even more fun. Users can personalize their devices by attaching a NFC-equipped 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. Made of luxurious leather, the Flipsuit Card features an aesthetic color scheme inspired by the Olympic flag for a unique texture and feel.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition delivers a never-before-seen Olympic Games experience. With its innovative mobile technologies, Samsung hopes to continue helping athletes and fans embrace their special moments and share the thrill of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 to the fullest.
