<p>Today, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>, exclusively designed for all athletes competing at the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition will be incorporated into official podium moments via the Victory Selfie, which is making its Winter Olympic debut at Milano Cortina 2026.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>A Special Olympic Edition To Celebrate the Olympic Winter Games</h3>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip7 is an intelligent pocket-sized companion built for seamless interaction and everyday reliability.

<ul>
<li>The dual rear camera system, including 50MP Wide<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> and 12MP Ultra-Wide lens, delivering flagship-level clarity.</li>
<li><strong>Now Brief</strong><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a>, which provides personalized daily updates such as reminders, calendar events and fitness summaries. It can also access health and wellness data from certain applications.</li>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Adding to these features, the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition introduces an iconic design that commemorates athletes’ participation in the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, as well as practical services to help enhance their experience in the Olympic Village and throughout competition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The signature blue colo<span>u</span>r covering the back glass of the device aligns with the unique style of Milano Cortina 2026, and represents the combination of Samsung’s long-standing identity and the cultural resonance of Italian azure. The colo<span>u</span>r also reflects the spirit of unity and sportsmanship embodied by the Olympic Games. The custom gold metal frame symbolizes athletes’ pursuit of excellence and podium moments, as well as the brand’s aspiration for the best. The Olympic Edition device also comes with a clear magnet case with a blue circular magnet, surrounded by gold laurel leaves added as a motif of victory.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13420" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-13420 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Olympic-Edition-Milano-Cortina-2026-Victory-Profile_main4.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Olympic-Edition-Milano-Cortina-2026-Victory-Profile_main4.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Olympic-Edition-Milano-Cortina-2026-Victory-Profile_main4-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Olympic-Edition-Milano-Cortina-2026-Victory-Profile_main4-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Special Wallpapers and On/Off Animation for Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each device also includes special Olympic Winter Games–themed wallpaper<span>s</span> created specifically for Milano Cortina 2026. The colo<span>u</span>rful curves represent winter sports, inspired by marks generated from the interaction between skate blades and ice surfaces. These design elements celebrate the Olympic spirit and each athlete’s passion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Athletes can make moments with fans, family and teammates more memorable with Dual Recording, a feature that allows them to capture both what they see and their own reactions in a single shot by using the rear and front cameras at the same time. Tailored exclusively for the Olympic Edition, athletes can access Dual Recording<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a> mode simply by swiping the shooting mode within the Camera app. Athletes can also open up new and creative angles that bring the action closer using the split view by zooming in<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a> on the rear-camera view, and can preview their shots in real-time directly on FlexWindow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition comes with a pre-loaded curated suite of essential apps and services to support athletes throughout Milano Cortina 2026:</p>

For the first time, it will extend beyond individual and pair events to include wider team celebrations for<span> the</span> Olympic Games, reflecting the collaborative nature of winter sports. Athletes can now capture and share their achievements together with teammates and instantly share them with their loved ones and fans around the world, so they can also join that life-changing moment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Capturing the First Spark of Excitement With the Victory Profile</h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Athletes’ journeys extend far beyond the competition, encompassing preparation, anticipation and the emotions surrounding the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. To reflect this broader journey and celebrate the athlete experience, Samsung introduces the Victory Profile, a new athlete storytelling initiative developed with nine NOCs. The Victory Profile leverages curated portraits captured on the Galaxy S25 Ultra to vividly showcase each athlete’s unique passion and individuality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Victory Profile adds a new perspective to the Winter Olympics experience by highlighting moments beyond the podium and providing athletes with a personal keepsake that reflects their journey, as well as their unique personalities. The initial project will start with approximately 490 athletes from France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, the U.K. and the U.S.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Helping Shape the Future Games-Time Experience</h3>
<p>Samsung will continue to use its mobile innovation to open up the Olympic and Paralympic Games to fans around the world, making every moment feel more connected. Through its devices and athlete-centered experiences, Samsung is creating new ways for athletes to share their journeys — from preparation to the podium — while bringing fans closer to the moments and people that define the Olympic and Paralympic Games.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition will be distributed at Olympic Villages across six cities, starting on January 30. The Samsung Open Station will also offer on-site professional customer service to help athletes activate devices, transfer data and receive general technical support.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

									<description><![CDATA[Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, will harness the power of Galaxy technology to continue supporting connected]]></description>
																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, will harness the power of Galaxy technology to continue supporting connected Games-time experiences for athletes and fans at Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, helping them create lifelong memories of the Games.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s central message for Paris 2024 is “Open always wins,” which articulates the belief that with an open mind, every new experience becomes a meaningful achievement — a sentiment embodied by the athletes competing at the Paralympic Games. Samsung will celebrate the open-mindedness and resilience demonstrated by Paralympians, harnessing its latest mobile technology to open up new experiences and possibilities for athletes, fans, and the rest of the world, during the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung has been a Paralympic Games partner for almost two decades, and as committed supporters of the Paralympic Movement, we’re proud to help deliver the best possible Games-time experience for athletes, fans, spectators and volunteers at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games with our latest mobile technology,” said<strong> Stephanie Choi, EVP &amp; Head of Marketing of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics</strong>. “It is an honor to bring fans across the world closer to their favorite Paralympians, their stories and uncompromising spirit, as they forge new paths and inspire greatness.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Continued Support of the Paralympic Movement</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung’s support of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games follows an 18-year partnership which began at the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games. During this time, Samsung has used its mobile technology to engage and inspire fans and supporters while raising awareness of the Paralympic Movement. The “Dialogue in the Dark” demonstration at Sochi 2014 saw visitors at the Galaxy Studio Olympic Park experience a day in the life of a visually impaired person to help visitors understand the challenges they can experience from their perspective. Similarly, at PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, visitors at the Samsung experience space were able to try the Relúmĭno feature in conjunction with Samsung Gear VR, which helped those with low vision see the world more clearly. Samsung will continue to promote sporting excellence and shared values embodied by Paralympic athletes through its ongoing support of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Championing Team Samsung Galaxy Trailblazers </strong></h3>
<p>For the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, Samsung has been supporting its roster of Team Samsung Galaxy athletes. The team of trailblazers, who were selected due to their impact on and off the field of play, includes French blind footballer and Olympic Torchbearer Yvan Wouandji and Paralympians Johannes Floors (para athletics, Germany), Madison De Rozario (para athletics, Australia), Ugo Didier (para swimming, France), Hee-jin Kim (goalball, Korea), Kadeena Cox (para cycling and para athletics, Great Britain) and Desirée Vila (para athletics, Spain). The athletes shared their sentiments regarding Samsung’s support:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ugo Didier</strong>: “The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games are particularly special, taking place in my home country. Beyond the competition, I want to show that with enough dedication, everyone can compete in sporting events and achieve world-class performances regardless of disability, so I’m grateful to be working alongside Samsung to share this message.”</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Madison De Rozario</strong>: “Technology is playing a significant role in our entire movement of sport. To make a tangible impact on fans and people, you need to be able to connect with them to truly learn who they are and for them to know who you are. It’s an honor to be supported by Samsung as I go into my fifth Paralympic Games to bring people around the world closer to the Paralympic Movement.”</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Johannes Floors</strong>: “To be a successful Paralympian, determination is vital, but it also requires honest self-reflection, the ability to take criticism, meticulous engineering and open-mindedness to try the new and innovative approaches that ultimately set you up for success. I’m delighted to be working with Samsung, who share these values and reflect them in their own innovation.”</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, Samsung released its film <a href="https://youtu.be/y_tAfKjqFp8?si=rroLXMb_Fryzi9o6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Voices of Galaxy</a>, which spotlights Johannes Floors’ story — his motivation, determination, and passion to make an impact on next generation — in May.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Harnessing the Latest Technology for an Unforgettable Games-Time Experience  </strong></h3>
<p>To enhance the athlete experience, Samsung is providing nearly 5,000 Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition smartphones to Paralympians competing in the Games. The exclusive edition features a suite of built-in services and apps to help athletes to enjoy Paris and navigate every aspect of their Games-time experience with ease. The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition supports the latest Galaxy AI features — as well as accessibility features — ensuring all Paralympians have the best experience possible.</p>
<p><strong>Interpreter,</strong> which instantly translates live conversations, will allow all Paralympians to connect with fellow athletes from around the world. <strong>Bixby Vision for Accessibility</strong>, which gives audio descriptions of images and user surroundings, and <strong>Relúmĭno outline</strong>, which enhances the screen’s contrast and brightness or sharpens image outlines to increase visibility, allowing athletes with low vision to seamlessly navigate competition venues and stay connected with fans following their Paris 2024 journey.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Opening Up Fan Experiences To Put the Paralympic Spirit in Motion </strong></h3>
<p>The start of the Paralympic Games also marks the next wave of the popular Samsung Olympic Games Pin Collection, taking place at the fully accessible Olympic<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> rendezvous @ Samsung pop-up experiences at Champs-Elysees 125 and Square Marigny in Paris. Fans of the Paralympic Games can participate in Galaxy AI experiences to complete their collection of 16 specially-designed pins, including four that represent Paralympic sports — blind football, para athletics, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair tennis — to receive a new Galaxy Z Flip6 and a chance to win a round-trip package for two to attend Milano Cortina 2026. Fans will also have the opportunity to participate in an interactive journey through Samsung’s rich heritage around the Olympic and Paralympic Games and try out the latest Galaxy technology for themselves at the sites. In addition, Samsung plans to conduct a series of events and appearances at its Olympic<sup>TM</sup> Rendezvous @ Samsung pop-up experience sites throughout the Games to bring fans face-to-face with their favorite Paralympic athletes.</p>
<p>Fans and visitors can celebrate the Games and get closer to Samsung’s latest technology at the Olympic<sup>TM</sup> rendezvous @ Samsung sites, open throughout the duration of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The Olympic<sup>TM</sup> rendezvous @ Samsung | Square Marigny will be re-opened on August 29 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. until September 8.</li>
<li>The Olympic<sup>TM </sup>rendezvous @ Samsung | Champs-Élysées 125 is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays until October 31.</li>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, today unveiled a new art campaign created by legendary <strong>French photographer Raymond Depardon</strong> and his son, <strong>director and photographer Simon Depardon</strong>. The campaign, which is called “Olympic Games Instants Shared #withGalaxy,” is now live across the city of Paris and contains captivating imagery that offers a new perspective to the power of sport. It is one of many ways Samsung is helping to bring the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to life in the host city as the countdown to Paris 2024 continues.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a photographer and filmmaker, Raymond Depardon has captured some of the most iconic images of the century, including portraits of the athletes in Olympic competition between 1964 and 1980. The new campaign, which was developed in collaboration between Samsung and the City of Paris, pays homage to Raymond’s renowned work and represents a passing of the torch — as Raymond’s iconic black-and-white, archival imagery is exhibited alongside new imagery from his son Simon, who focused his lens on some of the newest Olympic Games and Paralympic Games disciplines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The series of images features Team Samsung Galaxy athletes; Sarah Bee (Breaking), Aurelien Giraud (Skateboarding), Mejdi Schalck (Sport Climbing) and Yvan Wouandji (Blind Football) and is currently being showcased at nine iconic Parisian landmarks and city sites including Rue du Louvre, Pont de la Concorde and Rue des Pyramides, until early September 2024.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10140" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Paris-2024-OOH-Campaign_RaymondSimon_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Paris-2024-OOH-Campaign_RaymondSimon_main2.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Paris-2024-OOH-Campaign_RaymondSimon_main2-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Paris-2024-OOH-Campaign_RaymondSimon_main2-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“I was thrilled to participate in this project because it is the first time ever that my photos are being displayed alongside my father’s,” said Simon Depardon. “The artwork not only features four incredible French athletes playing their sports, but also I wanted to show each athlete’s human character by taking portraits of them at the same time,” Depardon added. “The performance capabilities of the Galaxy S24 are outstanding, and opened up so many opportunities for us to create something that fits in artistically with the city.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From June 24 through September 8, 2024, fans are invited to participate in the campaign by sharing messages of support for Team Samsung Galaxy via a QR code featured on each image. The messages will be shown at Samsung’s Olympic<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> rendezvous @ Samsung | Champs-Elysees 125 and Village Plaza, Samsung’s athlete lounge within the Olympic and Paralympic Village, during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The mission of the Olympic and Paralympic Games is to bring the world together in a spirit of openness,” said Stephanie Choi, EVP &amp; Head of Marketing of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through our collaborative campaign with Raymond and Simon Depardon, Samsung is utilizing innovative Galaxy technology to write another chapter in the near 40-year story of supporting the best ideals that the Olympic and Paralympic Games have to offer.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additional locations for the campaign’s 10 images – comprising two of Raymond Depardon’s legendary photos and eight new images from Simon Depardon – are located at Gare de L’Est, Quartier Saint-Germain, Porte d’Orléans, Stade de France, Rue Vieille du Temple, and Opéra.
