The Olympic games were supposed to hold last year but the event was postponed. Prior to the quadrennial games being postponed, Samsung had announced a special edition of the Galaxy S20+ for the event. However, the device was eventually canceled due to the postponement. Now Japanese carrier, Docomo, has listed the Galaxy S21 Olympic Games Edition on its official website.
This special edition comes in a new color variant called Phantom Blue (actually looks like a darker shade of purple) and it will be exclusive to Docomo. The carrier’s name is printed on the back as well as the famous Olympics logo. The phone also comes in a special box. The product listing says there are also custom wallpapers, lock screens, and app icons as well as a custom Olympics-themed boot and shutdown animation.
The device can be reserved on Docomo’s online shop now but it won’t be available until early next month. Going by previous years, we expect this special edition will be given to all athletes that attend the games free of charge.
The Galaxy S21 has a 6.2-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display with a centered punch hole and Gorilla Glass Victus. The phone has a Snapdragon 888 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage. There is a 12MP main camera on the back of the phone along with a 64MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP ultrawide angle camera while a 10MP camera is in front for selfies. The S21 also has a 4000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. Samsung ships it with One UI 3.1 based on Android 11.
