Samsung wants to position the Galaxy Z Flip as the must-have fashion accessory for this year. For this reason, it collaborated with a high fashion brand called Thom Browne to create an exclusive Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition.
This special edition of the Galaxy Z Flip was unveiled at Samsung's Unpacked event on February 11. It's now available for purchase in the United States. However, that's not the only country where Thom Browne fans will be able to buy it.
Countries where the Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition will be available
The Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition is a complete package. Not only does it include Samsung's new foldable smartphone, it also comes with the new Galaxy Buds+, the Galaxy Watch Active 2, a leather case for said foldable phone, all of which is packed inside a special gift box.
The tech is all the same, customers who get the Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition will only be paying a premium for the cosmetic changes. All of the products carry Thom Browne's signature Americana striping while the brand's logo is also present on the Galaxy Z Flip.
The Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition is priced at $2,480 in the United States, that's $1,100 more than the regular Galaxy Z Flip that costs $1,380. Even if you add the $150 and $250 for the Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Watch Active 2, that's still a $700 premium which essentially gets you a leather cover and bragging rights. Then again, the demographic that this is meant for won't bat an eyelid at the price.
Customers in the United States can purchase the Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition already and it will soon be available in other countries. Samsung says that this special edition will eventually be sold online through its website in the United Kingdom, South Korea, Italy, France, China, Hong Kong and Japan. Prices will slightly vary in these markets but they will be within the same $2,400 bracket.
