Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Olympic Games Edition

2016-07-16
hey it's Chris Walter the verge and this is Samsung's Galaxy s7 edge special edition for the Olympic Games it's being given to all the athletes taking part in the upcoming Summer Games so whether they seize their dreams and come away with a gold medal or go home empty-handed they're all guaranteed a pretty sweet phone at least people like you and I can get it - starting next month at Best Buy now last month we cover the Batman s7 edge and that was another special edition that one was very cool it has sleek all-black design and a Batman logo on the back Samsung also tossed in a custom gear VR this Olympics version is way more colorful though the hardware buttons match the different colors of the Olympic rings it looks a bit strange at first but it makes more sense when you realize just what this phone commemorates the home button in the earpiece are yellow the power button is read volume controls are green and the camera bezel is blue and you've also got those same rings on the back of the phone and Samsung's also customized the software so it stays true to that theme of the Olympics inside it's the same s7 edge as before it's got a Snapdragon 820 processor 4 gigs of RAM a great 12 megapixel camera 32 gigs of storage and a microSD slot it's still waterproof and this is the unlocked version so it should work on all the biggest u.s. networks sadly there's no gear VR this time Samsung and put that in the Batman bundle but it's not here maybe these out dates are just too busy training to get lost in virtual reality or Samsung just want to mess up their eyesight but it's just not in the box but you do get this nice carrying bag to store the phone and if you're traveling or just want to keep it safe we don't have the final price just yet but it'll probably cost around the same as the regular s7 edge which is pretty expensive and that's pretty much all there is to say this is just a fresh coat of paint for the s7 edge and free swag where people will work their whole lives to reach the Olympics the Summer Games start August 5th and this phone is coming the best by later on in August for more Samsung and other tech videos subscribe to our YouTube channel at youtube.com forward slash The Verge you
