From Olympic Village life to medal moments, competing athletes will receive the Olympic Edition device, purposefully designed to enrich the Olympic 2026 Games-time experience.
Samsung Electronics, a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, today unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition, exclusively designed for all athletes competing at the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. Provided to almost 3,800 Olympians and Paralympians from approximately 90 countries, this special edition device will accompany athletes throughout their Olympic 2026 Games-time experience—supporting life in the Olympic Village while enabling them to capture and share meaningful moments from competition to celebration.
Making its Winter Olympics debut at Milano Cortina, the Olympic Edition will be incorporated into official podium moments via the Victory Selfie at Olympic 2026. For the first time, this will expand to team sport competitions so that all participating athletes can document their moment of victory through their own lens. In addition, a new photo series captured with the Galaxy S25 Ultra called the Victory Profile will allow athletes from select National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to share their personal passions and spirit.
Athletes are at the heart of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and for nearly 30 years Samsung has supported them as a Worldwide Partner through meaningful mobile innovation,” said Stephanie Choi, EVP and Head of Mobile Marketing Center, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Since Sochi 2014, we’ve supported athletes with Olympic Editions and we’re honored to continue this commitment at Olympic 2026 Milano Cortina. With Olympic Edition, athletes will be able to connect with fans and families at every unforgettable moment in their own way.
