Samsung gifts latest Galaxy Z Flip6 phones to nearly 17K Paris Olympic athletes

As the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris commences, Samsung has announced it will be gifting nearly 17K Olympic athletes  a special edition of the recently launched Galaxy Z Flip6 phone to nearly 17K athletes representing their countries from across the globe. In an effort to eliminate language barriers and offer accessibility for the athletes during the games, the device’s latest Galaxy AI features will offer a seamless line of communication both in Paris and to family and friends back home.  

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition includes a range of useful innovations to help athletes from around the world connect with ease while in Paris:

• Live translation – translates phone calls directly on the device in real-time into 16 different languages, making it easy for athletes to call the Olympic hotlines and local contacts in their native language, using Samsung native and select third-party apps.
• Interpreter – instantly translates live conversations, allowing athletes to chat with other athletes and volunteers and receive a live translation of what they’re saying on screen – while still speaking face-to-face, thanks to the phone’s unique dual screen.
• Composer – helps to draft emails and social media posts in apps by using simple keywords. For social media apps specifically, it even analyzes the tone of past content, making it easier for athletes to express their excitement at some of the competition’s most thrilling or poignant moments.

Athletes can also use Galaxy AI on the Olympic Edition phone to help prepare for competition, with features including:

• Instant Slow-mo – allows athletes to record, share and analyze their performances in slow motion, making it easier for them to refine their technique.

To make it easier for athletes to use the phone while in Paris and beyond, each Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition will also come with an eSIM of 100GB 5G data in partnership with Orange, and two years of Samsung’s global warranty.
