In collaboration with the IOC, Samsung Electronics will operate the 'Victory Selfie' program at the Winter Olympics for the first time. First introduced at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, the Victory Selfie allows athletes to take selfies on the podium immediately after the medal ceremony. In addition, Samsung plans to newly unveil 'Victory Profile' photos, which capture the passion and individuality of athletes using the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

This Olympic Edition features a design commemorating participation in the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. The rear of the device features a blue color, symbolizing the unity and sportsmanship of the Olympics. The frame of the device is finished in gold metal. The blue circular magnet attached to the included transparent magnetic case is designed with golden laurel leaves encircling it.

The wallpaper also features a specially designed 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics theme. The theme, inspired by the curved patterns made by skate blades on ice, represents the Olympic spirit and the passion of the athletes.

Several services useful for athletes are also included. Athletes can use the on-device AI-based translation feature of the Z Flip7, powered by Galaxy AI. Through the 'Now Brief' feature, they can check health data such as event operation information and sleep data. The 'Dual Recording' function allows users to simultaneously record with both the front and rear cameras, enabling them to capture themselves from both perspectives at once.

Samsung Electronics, in partnership with Olympic sponsors, will also provide a variety of apps and services for athletes' convenience. These include: ▲ 'Galaxy Athlete Card,' which allows athletes to register their profile card and exchange profile cards with others via NFC; ▲ 'Samsung Wallet,' which comes with an in-app pass that enables athletes to use Coca-Cola vending machines in the Olympic Village for free; and ▲ 'Athlete365,' which is linked to the Now Brief feature to deliver real-time competition news and announcements to athletes. These apps come pre-installed on the device.

Additionally, a 100GB eSIM for 5G data usage will be provided to the athletes.

The 'Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition' will be distributed at six Olympic Villages starting January 30. Samsung Electronics will operate the 'Samsung Open Station' at the Olympic Villages, offering on-site expert customer service to assist athletes with device activation, data transfer, and immediate use of their devices.
