You won’t be able to buy these anywhere
Since the Olympic Winter Games is now happening in Samsung’s home turf of South Korea, the electronics juggernaut decided to celebrate the occasion by giving all of the Olympians a limited edition device. All in all, they’re distributing 4,000 devices to all Olympians as well as the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic family, including IOC and POCOG staff during the games.
The device is essentially a blinged-out Galaxy Note 8 with a beautiful white rear that has the Olympic logo. It comes in its own special edition box, and has celebratory pre-loaded PyeongChang 2018 themed wallpapers, as well as useful apps to help cultivate the utmost Olympic Games experience.
“Throughout our 20-year legacy as an Olympic partner, Samsung has showcased our support of the Olympic Movement by helping spread the Olympic Spirit and enhance connections through our latest technological innovations and immersive experiences,” said Younghee Lee, CMO and Executive Vice President, Samsung Electronics. “We’re proud to provide the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Games Limited Edition to all athletes in an effort to help them to stay connected, capture and share one of the most memorable moments of their lives.”
If you fancy the white rear and Olympic logo you’re sadly out of luck – Samsung will not be selling the limited edition variant of their current flagship to the public.
