Free phones for Olympians heralds the age of the podium selfie

In what has become a tradition at the Olympic Games, worldwide Olympic and Paralympic partner Samsung has revealed the smartphone they will give to every athlete competing in Paris this year.

The specially designed version of the Galaxy Z Flip6, which was only announced yesterday, will feature the Olympic Rings and Paralympic Agitos, as well as a specially designed Olympic case to make this an absolutely exclusive product.

As a huge break from tradition and something we will no doubt notice on the winners podium after each victory ceremony, athletes will also be given a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition for use on the podium.

Taking selfies on the podium for the first time in history is going to change the athletes' social media profiles forever.

"Samsung has pushed the boundaries of mobile technology in support of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and its athletes for nearly three decades," Samsung EVP and head of marketing of mobile experience business Stephanie Choi said.

"We are honoured to deliver our newest Galaxy innovation to the inspiring athletes of Paris 2024 — and give them the opportunity to experience the powerful and intelligent Galaxy Z Flip6 firsthand, even before its official market launch.
