Samsung recently introduced the Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition at its Unpacked event. This custom smartphone will be gifted to all athletes participating in the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics.

The company announced that it has begun distributing units to around 17,000 participating athletes, who will be able to experience the new flip foldable even before the official market launch of the device.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition comes in a custom-made yellow colour with the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic logo engraved on the back panel. Every device has an eSIM pre-installed with 100GB of 5G data courtesy of Orange.

Samsung Wallet also includes a complimentary public transportation access card, and comes preloaded with some Olympic apps “to help athletes gain new experiences and connect with new people during their stay in Paris,” the company said in a press release.

Team Mozambique athlete Daisy Nhaquile shows off her Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition and Galaxy S21 5G Olympic Games Edition from the Tokyo Olympics.

Samsung Nagano has been a key partner of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) since 1998 and has been launching customised Galaxy phones since Sochi 2014.

The Flip6 is the second foldable to get the Olympic treatment, after the special Winter Dream White variant of the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G launched for Beijing 2022.
