Samsung’s Special Phone Gift at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games

2024 Paris Olympic Games and Samsung’s Sponsorship Gift

2024 Paris Olympic Games ended with great enthusiasm on August 11. As the Olympic athletes returned home filled with memories of victory and success, they carried a special gift phone with them.

As in past Olympic Games, this year Samsung, as the official sponsor of the event, gifted each athlete a special version of its latest technology foldable phone. This special version was named Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition and was presented with a leather Flip case. Only 17,000 units of this limited edition model were released.

This year, a significant innovation compared to previous years was made with major changes in the restrictions on the use of phones by athletes during the Olympics. If you followed the Olympics on social media, you might have had the opportunity to see athletes opening their phone boxes and taking photos with these special models. In the contests you watched, alongside each athlete’s extraordinary talent, there was a common denominator among the medal winners: Victory selfies taken with small, square, yellow phones.

Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition closely resembles the version offered to standard consumers. The most notable difference between the two versions is the special graphics decorated with the Olympic and Paralympic logos symbolizing Samsung’s official sponsorship on the back surface. Additionally, it carries the same shade of yellow that is accessible to everyone. This device, which uses the Android-based Samsung OneUI software, comes pre-loaded with many applications that will be useful for the athletes in the Olympic Village. Furthermore, the opening screen features a special note from Samsung aimed at the athletes.

Aside from these minor differences, both models are designed with a vibrant visual experience provided by the 3.4-inch AMOLED cover display and the 6.7-inch main screen. The two lenses on the front of the phone make it very convenient for taking photos, whether in daily life or capturing a selfie after winning an Olympic medal. The 50-megapixel wide-angle and 12-megapixel ultra-wide lenses make taking photos using the cover screen a fun experience.

In summary, many athletes gained new medals at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, achieving significant prestige for themselves and their countries. However, the real winner of this year’s Olympics may be Samsung, thanks to the special edition Samsung phones offered as sponsorship gifts.
