More than 4,000 Samsung special edition phones will be delivered ahead of the 2018 Winter Olympics to athletes, IOC members, and other Olympic family members. Samsung said in a release that all athletes at the 2018 Paralympic Games will also receive a special edition phone featuring the Paralympic logo.
The phones will be the latest Samsung Galaxy S8 models with a number of Olympic upgrades. The phone will feature a white glass back with gold Olympic rings, pre-loaded PyeongChang 2018 themed wallpapers, and pre-loaded Olympic apps, according to Samsung. Unlike the Rio edition, the PyeongChang Samsung special edition will not be sold to the public.
