“We know our customers see cutting-edge technology as a way to express themselves”, said Conor Pierce, Corporate Vice President UK & Ireland, Samsung Electronics. “At Samsung, we believe their technology should reflect their lifestyle, and we’re proud to continuously develop new technologies to suit customers’ needs, preferences, and lives. Now, we’re excited to introduce the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 Bespoke Edition — which provides our customers with the ultimate form of self-expression thanks to its new range of exciting colourways.”

The Galaxy Z Flip3 empowers users to express themselves with a compact, iconic design and premium features. Since its launch, Galaxy Z Flip3 users have been drawn to the device’s unique customisation abilities including its flexible form factor, a creative array of accessories, and the ability to optimise their mobile experience with One UI. Responding to this demand, Samsung is expanding with new customisable colour combinations and special UX for users to further personalise their device with the Bespoke Edition, providing options not available anywhere else on the market.

To identify colour options, Samsung researched current and future colour trends and analysed sociocultural trends to anticipate changes in customer’s preferences and needs. Samsung also tested thousands of colour options and identified hues and that would perfectly complement each other — no matter the combination. The result is a palette of 49 possible colour combinations for Galaxy Z Flip3 Bespoke Edition. Customers can mix and match to create their own unique combination by choosing phone frame options of Black or Silver, and front and back colours of Blue, Yellow, Pink, White, or Black.

And because users’ style and taste continue to evolve, Samsung is also offering Bespoke Upgrade Care^[1] exclusively for Galaxy Z Flip3 Bespoke Edition users so they can change their device colour whenever they want to. Galaxy Z Flip3 Bespoke Edition owners can register to replace their device panel with new colours at Samsung.com, ensuring their device keeps pace with their evolving style.

Customers can also customise Galaxy Watch4 series at the Galaxy Watch4 Bespoke Studio, by mixing and matching from a variety of Galaxy Watch4 series colours, sizes, and strap styles. Galaxy Watch4 series users will also get even more opportunities for personalisation through the latest software update^[2], which features a host of new customisable watch face styles, a more tailored fall detection feature that enables users to adjust sensitivity, and a new “knock, knock” wrist motion that activates favourite or most-used apps and features.
