Samsung Unveils Exclusive Galaxy Z Flip 7 Olympic Edition for 2026 Milan Cortina Games
Samsung Electronics has once again captivated the tech world with the launch of a highly exclusive version of its latest foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Olympic Edition. However, prospective collectors should be aware: this luxury device will not be available for general sale, but rather will serve as a premium gift for the 3,800 athletes competing in the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The special edition phone boasts an ultra-luxurious design, featuring a blue back glass inspired by “Azzurro Italia,” the host nation’s signature pride color. This aesthetic is further elevated by a gold frame, symbolically representing the ultimate ambition of each athlete – the gold medal.
Beyond its striking appearance, the Olympic Edition includes a unique package with a blue circular magnet case and a custom wallpaper inspired by the distinctive marks left by ice skate blades on the rink. While maintaining the same hardware specifications as the standard Galaxy Z Flip 7, this version is enriched with a suite of digital features tailored for the participating athletes.
Athletes from nearly 90 countries will receive a complimentary 5G eSIM with a generous 100GB data allowance, ensuring seamless connectivity. They will also gain instant access to the Athlete365 app, providing crucial match news and mental health support resources. A dedicated Galaxy Athlete Card will facilitate profile exchange among competitors, fostering a sense of community. Samsung Wallet integration will even grant special access to various facilities within the athletes’ village.
Samsung has also integrated cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, including AI commentators, photo assistants, and dual recording functionality, empowering athletes to capture and share their historic moments. As part of this celebration, the company announced the “Win Profile +” project, which will utilize the Galaxy S25 Ultra to create compelling portraits of sports heroes, highlighting their personal stories beyond their athletic achievements.
“This foldable cell phone is not just a communication tool, but a symbol of glory,” a company release stated, “reserved for those who have achieved the pinnacle of athletic performance on the snow and ice of Milan Cortina.”
