Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition

In time for the Paris 2024 Olympics, Samsung, a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, recently revealed the Olympic Edition of its newly announced Galaxy Z Flip6. Exclusively designed and customized for all athletes competing at the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition is the first-ever Olympic Edition to feature Galaxy AI.

A breakthrough collaboration, the device is pre-loaded with a full suite of exclusive services and useful apps designed to elevate the athletes’ Games-time experience from the moment they arrive in Paris. The international multi-sport event is scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.

With the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition designed to enhance the athletes’ experience at Paris 2024, the devices provided to nearly 17,000 athletes competing at the Olympic are powered by Galaxy AI. The exciting and useful innovations and features they come with include the following:

Live translation of calls

This translates phone calls directly on the device in real-time into 16 different languages. Athletes can easily call the Olympic hotlines and local contacts in their native language, using Samsung native and select third-party apps.

Interpreter

Communicating with people in a different country is always a challenge, but this feature allows instant translation of live conversations. So, athletes can chat with other athletes and volunteers and receive a live translation of what they’re saying on screen while still speaking face-to-face, thanks to the phone’s unique dual screen.

Composer

This helps to draft emails and social media posts in apps by using simple keywords. For social media app specifically, it even analyzes the tone of past content, making it easier for athletes to express their excitement at some of the competition’s most thrilling or poignant moments.

Instant Slow-mo

It allows athletes to record, share and analyze their performances in slow motion, making it easier for them to refine their technique.

Photo Assist

It enables athletes to get the perfect shot every time, by resizing, repositioning or even removing unwanted objects within photos.

In line with capturing lifelong memories at Paris 2024, the Galaxy Z Flip6 will also take center stage at the Olympic Games as the first Olympic Edition to play an integral role on the podium. Athletes have been prohibited from bringing personal belongings—including their mobile phones—to the ceremony, so their memories of the experience are usually captured from the distance and not through their own lens.

For the first time in Olympic and Paralympic Games history, however, Samsung will provide the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition for use on the podium at Paris 2024, so athletes can create their own memories and emotions via a new, victory selfie. Samsung’s customized technology will map and sort the athletes’ selfies by sport and upload them to Athlete365 in real-time, which will allow athletes to save and share their iconic moments with family and fans.

The aesthetic

The new Galaxy Z Flip6’s compact and versatile design comes in a striking yellow colorway adorned with the Olympic rings and Paralympic agitos in gold. To dress up the phone, Samsung partnered with the Parisian Men’s Luxury Maison, Berluti, who designed the Team France’s official outfits for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, to create an exclusive Flipsuit Case that will accompany each device. Made from Venezia leather, each Flipsuit Case has a unique patina featuring a vibrant color mix inspired by the Olympic rings, celebrating the Olympic spirit and values of excellence and unity.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition will be displayed at Olympic™ rendezvous @ Samsung showcases, including the one at Champs-Elysees 125, starting July 12. In collaboration with the IOC and International Paralympic Committee (IPC), athletes will receive their Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition from Samsung starting July 18.
