No, Samsung isn’t making a special edition Louis Vuitton Galaxy Z Flip 6 or Galaxy Z Fold 6. The company has denied reports of collaboration with LVMH, the French firm behind Louis Vuitton and many other luxury brands. The Korean biggie says it hasn’t teamed up with anyone on an Olympic Edition or any other special edition foldable. However, it didn’t explicitly rule out the possibility of releasing an Olympic-themed Galaxy device in limited quantity.
Samsung denies rumors of a special edition Louis Vuitton foldable
Samsung has gathered the tech industry in Paris, France for its latest Unpacked. The company is unveiling the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and several other products at the event. Usually held in the US or South Korea, the Korean firm took the event to Paris to commemorate Summer Olympics 2024. Samsung is one of the biggest global sponsors of the mega sporting event, which is taking place in the City of Love later this month.
A rumor recently surfaced that Samsung will celebrate the Olympic Games and foldable launch with a special edition Galaxy Z Flip 6 or Fold 6 in partnership with LVMH. The French fashion powerhouse, which makes luxury goods under Louis Vuitton, Dior, Loro Piana, Tiffany, Moët Hennessy, and many other brands, is also based in Paris. Since the Korean conglomerate has made Olympic-themed special special edition phones in the past, it all made sense.
It turns out the rumor wasn’t true. Samsung has officially confirmed that it doesn’t have any product with LVMH partnership in the pipeline. The company hasn’t partnered up with any brand on a special, Olympic-themed Galaxy Z Flip 6 or Galaxy Z Fold 6. However, the Samsung official who spoke to the Korean media declined to comment on whether it will produce a special edition phone on its own and distribute it to Olympic athletes.
Samsung has collaborated with fashion brands in the past
Samsung may not be making a special edition phone with Louis Vuitton or any other LVMH brand, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t see it collaborate with fashion brands in the future. It has done so on numerous occasions in the past, with American fashion designer Thom Browne being one of the regular names. Alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6, today’s Unpacked in Paris also brings the Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Buds 3, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, and Galaxy Ring. Stick around for more about these products.
