If you thought the standard Galaxy Z Flip7 was a stunner, wait until you see what Samsung just cooked up for the winter elite.
Samsung has officially pulled the curtains back on the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition, and honestly? It is absolutely gorgeous. But before you reach for your wallet, there is a massive catch—you probably need a spot on the Olympic roster to get your hands on one.
Here is everything you need to know about the phone that is about to take over your social media feeds during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games.
A Design Worthy of a Gold Medal
Samsung didn’t just slap a logo on a black phone and call it a day. They went all out for the Milano Cortina 2026 journey.
The new Olympic Edition features a striking Italian Azure Blue glass back, a clear nod to the host country’s vibrant culture. But the real showstopper is the frame. The entire metal chassis is finished in a luxurious gold tone, symbolizing the ultimate goal of every athlete at the games: the Gold Medal.
It even comes with a custom Flipsuit Case. Imagine a clear magnetic case featuring a blue circular design wrapped in gold laurel leaves. It is basically a trophy you can text on.
The “Victory Selfie” Goes Wide
Remember those viral selfies from the Paris games? They are back, but they are getting a major upgrade.
For the first time ever at a Winter Olympics, the Victory Selfie program is expanding to team sports. We aren’t just going to see individual skiers snapping pics on the podium; we are going to get wide-angle shots of entire hockey and curling teams celebrating their wins, captured directly on the Z Flip7.
Samsung has optimized the camera specifically for this, ensuring those winning smiles look crisp whether the athletes are on the ice or in the snow.
AI That Breaks Language Barriers
In 2026, AI is obviously the star of the show. Samsung knows that 3,800 athletes from 90 different countries need to communicate.
The device comes pre-loaded with a special version of Galaxy AI. The standout feature? An on-device Interpreter that handles real-time translation across 23 languages. No internet? No problem. It works offline, which is perfect for spotty-signal areas up in the mountains.
There is also a new feature called “Now Brief.” It is like a personal assistant for Olympians, giving them a daily snapshot of their schedule, health data, and even the cafeteria menu directly on the FlexWindow (the outer screen).
The Ultimate Swag Bag
Samsung is gifting these devices to nearly 3,800 Olympians and Paralympians. But the phone isn’t the only freebie in the box:
- 100GB 5G eSIM: Because roaming charges are the worst.
- Unlimited Drinks: The Samsung Wallet comes pre-loaded with a pass for free beverages at vending machines across the Olympic Village.
- PinQuest & Athlete365: Exclusive apps to help athletes trade digital pins and monitor their mental health.
Can You Buy It?
Here is the bad news: No.
Historically, these Olympic Editions are strictly for the athletes. However, collectors often spot them popping up on auction sites a few weeks after the closing ceremony—usually for a massive markup.
For the rest of us, we will just have to admire that Azure Blue and Gold combo from the sidelines. But if Samsung did release this colorway to the public, would you buy it? Let us know in the comments!
