Samsung will once again take center stage at the world’s biggest sporting showcase during the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, as the company will provide all participating athletes with the Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition, a phone designed exclusively for their experience in and out of competition.
According to official information, around 3,800 Olympic and Paralympic athletes from nearly 90 countries will receive this device during their stay in the Olympic Villages. The objective is for the cell phone to function as an integral technological pass, facilitating everything from daily communication to key moments such as medal celebrations. One of the most striking elements is the evolution of the Victory Selfie, an initiative introduced at Paris 2024 that allows medalists to take a photo of themselves on the podium and share it instantly. At Milano Cortina 2026, this feature will be used for the first time at a Winter Games and will also be extended to team disciplines, allowing victory to be captured collectively and not just individually.
Technology designed for a global event
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition integrates Galaxy AI, with tools designed to solve common challenges in an event of this magnitude.
Such as language, logistics and connectivity.
Its dual rear camera system stands out, with a 50 MP main sensor and a 12 MP ultra wide-angle sensor.
In addition to advanced artificial intelligence-assisted editing features.
Samsung highlights three key functions:
Now Brief, which offers personalized reminders and summaries; Photo Assistant, for AI-enhanced images; and an integrated Interpreter, capable of real-time translation even offline, a feature especially useful in mountain venues.
This is in addition to the Dual Recording, exclusive to this edition, which allows simultaneous capture of the athlete’s action and reaction with front and rear cameras.
The goal is for the phone to function as an all-in-one digital pass
