Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition: Empowering Athletes at Milano Cortina 2026

The Olympic Winter Games 2026 are officially underway, and one thing is clear around the Olympic Village: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition has quickly become an essential part of athletes’ everyday Games experience.

Gifted to almost 3,800 Olympians and Paralympians from approximately 90 countries, the Olympic Edition is helping them to stay connected with home, capture unforgettable moments, and share their journey with fans in real time — all while fitting seamlessly into the fast-paced rhythm of Olympic Games life. Samsung Electronics, a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, designed the device specifically for the Milano Cortina 2026 Games.

Staying Connected, Even Miles Away

For many athletes, the Olympic Village is a temporary home filled with emotion, anticipation, and quiet moments between competitions. Italian short-track speed skater Arianna Sighel captured that feeling perfectly, sharing a mirror selfie from her room with the Olympic Edition – displaying a beautiful picture of her family on the front screen. The compact, foldable design and high-quality selfie camera create it effortless for athletes to check in with loved ones through photos, video calls, or messages.

Life in the Village, One Swipe at a Time

Belgian speed skating star Bart Swings offered fans a behind-the-scenes look at his first days in Milan, sharing moments that define Olympic Games life: selfies in his room with his skates, iconic shots of the Olympic rings in the heart of the Village, and the excitement of unboxing his Olympic Edition straight from the Samsung booth. The Olympic Edition accompanies athletes during daily routines at training, cycling sessions using Dual Recording, and workouts in the gym.

Iconic Backdrops, Unforgettable Selfies

The stunning scenery surrounding the Milano Cortina 2026 venues has inspired athletes to capture the moment. Alpine skier Elena Curtoni snapped a selfie in the mountains in front of the Olympic rings, while Dutch Olympic short-track champion Suzanne Schulting shared training-day selfies rinkside.

Sharing the Magic – Together

Some moments are simply too big not to share. Polish athlete Michał Woźniak captured the energy of the Opening Ceremony in a video alongside his teammates, and Swiss snowboarder David Hablützel filmed his first trip to on-site training – a milestone moment powered by the Olympic Edition. Freestyle snowboarder Marcus Kleveland summed up the excitement during his unboxing: “Sleek, compact, and built to move — just like life on snow.” Txema Mazet-Brown celebrated being part of Team Samsung Galaxy, capturing snowy moments with the Olympic Edition.

Enhancing the Olympic Games Experience

From morning training sessions to calls home, the Olympic Edition has been warmly received by athletes across disciplines. Its compact design slips easily into pockets, its Flex Mode unlocks modern creative angles, and its powerful camera helps athletes advise their Olympic Games stories. The device will also be incorporated into official podium moments via the Victory Selfie, debuting at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina 2026, and will expand to team sport competitions, allowing all participating athletes to document their moment of victory. Samsung is also offering the Victory Profile, a new photo series captured with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, for athletes from select National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to share their passions.

At the Olympic Village in Milan, the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition isn’t just a smartphone. It’s a connection to home, a creative tool, and a memory-maker — helping athletes focus on what matters most while capturing every unforgettable step of their Olympic Games journey.
