Samsung unveils new Galaxy Z phones for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris 2024

By

Samsung revealed the Olympic edition of its newly-announced Galaxy Z Flip6 exclusively designed and customized for all athletes competing at the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

The new Olympic Edition for Paris 2024 is the first-ever Olympic Edition to feature Galaxy AI.

Galaxy AI is the new AI system from Samsung that will be present in the company’s many devices moving forward.

It will streamline existing features, add new tools for users, and improve the functionality of the devices in line with the current AI technology.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition includes features to help athletes open up new experiences throughout the Games and will help them connect easily while in Paris:

Live translation of calls – translates phone calls directly on the device in real-time into 16 different languages, making it easy for athletes to call the Olympic hotlines and local contacts in their native language, using Samsung native and select third-party apps.

Interpreter – instantly translates live conversations, allowing athletes to chat with other athletes and volunteers and receive a live translation of what they’re saying on screen – while still speaking face-to-face, thanks to the phone’s unique dual screen.

Composer – helps to draft emails and social media posts in apps by using simple keywords. For social media apps specifically, it even analyses the tone of past content,

Athletes can also use Galaxy AI on the Olympic Edition phone to help prepare for competition, enhance their creativity, and capture lifelong memories at Paris 2024, with features including:

Instant Slow-mo – allows athletes to record, share, and analyse their performances in slow motion, making it easier for them to refine their technique.

Photo Assist – enables athletes to get the perfect shot every time, by resizing, repositioning or even removing unwanted objects within photos.

This marks the first time Samsung’s newest product is made available to athletes before its official market launch.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 will also take centre stage at the Olympic Games as the first Olympic edition to play an integral role on the podium.

It features a compact and versatile design, in a striking yellow colorway adorned with the Olympic rings and Paralympic agitos in gold.

To dress up the phone, Samsung partnered with the Parisian Men’s Luxury Maison, Berluti, who designed the Team France’s official outfits for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, to create an exclusive Flipsuit Case that will accompany each device.

Made from Venezia leather, each Flipsuit Case has a unique patina featuring a vibrant colour mix inspired by the Olympic rings, celebrating the Olympic spirit and values of excellence and unity.

To make it easier for athletes to use the phone while in Paris and beyond, each Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition will come with an eSIM of 100GB 5G data in partnership with Orange, and two years of Samsung’s international warranty.

Additionally, to keep track of the latest Games-time schedules and travel around the Olympic venues with ease, several official International Olympic Committee (IOC) apps such as Athlete 365, Olympic Shop, Paris 2024, Transport Accred App, and IOC hotline will be pre-loaded.

Via Samsung Wallet, it also will come pre-loaded with an in-app pass for free beverages in vending machines located throughout the Olympic and Paralympic Village in partnership with fellow Worldwide Partner, The Coca-Cola Company, and an unlimited complimentary public transport access card, in partnership with Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM), so they can enjoy touring the city of Paris and its region.

Each Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition will feature a suite of Paris 2024-themed apps, as well. These include PinQuest and Galaxy Experience for collecting and exchanging real and digital pins during Games-time, Olympic Go!, the official Olympic Game, and Galaxy Skateboard, a new game featuring the Phryges, the Paris 2024 mascots.

For the first time in Olympic and Paralympic Games history, Samsung will provide the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition for use on the podium at Paris 2024, so athletes can create their memories and emotions via a new, victory selfie.

Samsung’s customised technology will map and sort the athletes’ selfies by sport and upload them to Athlete365 in real-time, which will allow athletes to save and share their iconic moments with family and fans.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition was last displayed at Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung showcases, including the one at Champs-Elysees 125, last 12 July.

In collaboration with the IOC and International Paralympic Committee (IPC), athletes will receive their Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition from Samsung starting 18 July.
