Samsung has officially taken the wraps off the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition, a special smartphone created to celebrate the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, scheduled to take place from February 4 to February 22, 2026.
Continuing its long-standing partnership with the Olympic Games, Samsung once again blends cutting-edge technology with symbolic design elements inspired by global sportsmanship.
As with previous Olympic Editions, the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition will not be sold to the public. Instead, Samsung will gift the device to nearly 3,800 athletes from around 90 countries competing in both the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. This makes the smartphone a highly limited-edition device, with many expected to surface later on resale platforms.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition features an iconic design that commemorates athletes’ participation while also offering practical tools to enhance their experience inside the Olympic Village and during competitions. The device sports a distinctive blue back panel, which Samsung says aligns with the visual identity of Milano Cortina 2026 and reflects Italian azure, while also symbolizing unity and sportsmanship.
Adding to the premium look is a gold metal frame, representing excellence, victory, and podium moments. The phone ships with a clear magnetic case, highlighted by a blue circular magnet surrounded by gold laurel leaves, a classic symbol of triumph in sports.
On the software side, Samsung has included exclusive Olympic-themed wallpapers and a preloaded suite of apps tailored for athletes. These include Galaxy Athlete Card for digital profile sharing and interactive activities, Athlete365 for performance insights and mental health support, and other essential apps such as the official Olympic Games app, IOC Hotline, and PinQuest.
To ensure seamless connectivity, Samsung is also providing athletes with a 100GB 5G eSIM, allowing easy access to data throughout the Games. Distribution of the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition will begin on January 30, with devices handed out at Olympic Villages across six host cities.
