The Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G Olympic Games Edition is officially canceled. The Japanese carrier NTT Docomo has decided to cancel the release of the special Galaxy S20+ variant due to the iconic Olympic games being postponed.

Samsung was originally planning on putting the device on sale in July 2020. However, after the announcement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games being postponed came through, the South Korean tech giant shared the Japanese mobile operator’s press release earlier today (23rd April 2020). It is currently unclear whether the decision was from Samsung or NTT.

The former was expecting the sales number of the Galaxy S20+ 5G Olympic Games Edition to drop but didn’t announce the cancelation previously. However, the situation has changed over the past couple of weeks as the situation with the global Coronavirus pandemic has been a cause for major concern.

Samsung and NTT Docomo are likely to be preparing a different Olympic Games Edition smartphone for 2021. This is when the Tokyo games might end up being hosted. The smartphone manufacturer is a major Olympic partner so this is still a possibility. Furthermore, it will also likely be for a different smartphone model like the Galaxy Note 20 or the 2021 Galaxy S model. However, this is just speculation so take it with a grain of salt.

At the Samsung Galaxy S20 series launch event in February, the manufacturer announced that there will be a Galaxy S20+ 5G Olympic Games Athlete Edition which will be given to all athletes free of charge.

While the International Olympic Committee is yet to decide whether this year’s Olympic Games will be postponed, a live photo of the special edition Galaxy S20+ 5G has surfaced on the web. The image was posted on Weibo and it shows the rear of the phone.

The phone has a gold finish and there is “docomo” written in the middle. You also have “Galaxy” and “Tokyo 2020” printed at the bottom. We expect there will be variants without a network operator’s name printed on the back.

The Galaxy S20 Plus 5G Olympic Games Athlete Edition has the same specifications as the standard variant. It has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display with a centered punch-hole for a 10MP camera. There is a Snapdragon 865 processor inside along with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

There is a 64MP + 12MP + 12MP + ToF quad-camera system on the back of the phone. You also get a 4500mAh battery capacity with support for 25W fast charging and 15W wireless fast charging. The phone also supports 9W reverse wireless fast charging.
