Samsung Unveils Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition for Milano Cortina 2026 Athletes

Seoul / Milano: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition, a specially designed smartphone created exclusively for athletes competing at the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

The limited-edition device will be provided to nearly 3,800 Olympians and Paralympians from around 90 countries, supporting athletes throughout their Games-time journey—from daily life in the Olympic Village to capturing and sharing moments of competition and celebration.

Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition to Power Official Victory Selfies

The Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition will play a central role in official Victory Selfie moments, which will make their Winter Olympic debut at Milano Cortina 2026. For the first time, the Victory Selfie experience will also extend to team sport competitions, enabling entire teams to document podium moments from their own perspective.

In addition, athletes from select National Olympic Committees (NOCs) will participate in the new Victory Profileinitiative—an athlete storytelling series captured using the Galaxy S25 Ultra—highlighting personal passions, individuality, and journeys beyond competition.

Commenting on the launch, Stephanie Choi, EVP and Head of Mobile Marketing Center, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, said Samsung has supported athletes for nearly three decades through meaningful mobile innovation. She added that the Olympic Edition continues this legacy by enabling athletes to stay connected with fans, families, and teammates at every unforgettable moment.

Intelligent Design and Galaxy AI for Games-Time Performance

The Galaxy Z Flip7 is designed as a compact yet powerful companion, featuring Galaxy AI, a new edge-to-edge FlexWindow, and intuitive one-handed usability—making it especially practical during the fast-paced Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Key features include:

• Dual rear camera system with a 50MP Wide and 12MP Ultra-Wide lens for flagship-level photography
• Now Brief, offering personalised daily updates such as reminders, calendars, and fitness summaries
• Photo Assist, enabling AI-powered image enhancements and editing
• On-device Interpreter, providing real-time language translation without network connectivity

Iconic Olympic Design and Exclusive Athlete Experiences

The Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition features a distinctive design celebrating athlete participation at Milano Cortina 2026. A signature blue back glass, inspired by Italian azure, symbolises unity and sportsmanship, while a custom gold metal frame reflects excellence and podium achievement. The device is paired with a clear magnetic case adorned with gold laurel leaves, a timeless symbol of victory.

Each device comes preloaded with Milano Cortina 2026–themed wallpapers, special on/off animations, and exclusive camera modes. Athletes can capture immersive content using Dual Recording, which records both the rear and front cameras simultaneously, and preview shots directly on the FlexWindow for creative flexibility.
