After teasing its collaboration with fashion firm Maison Margiela a couple of weeks ago, Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition. The limited-edition version of the smartphone comes with a unique design and matching accessories.
Samsung says that its new limited-edition version of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a design ethos that “marries perfectly with Maison Margiela’s design philosophy, rooted in defiance, subversion, and rejection of convention.” Every aspect of the phone has been designed to match Margiela’s originality and values. The phone comes in matte white, featuring a silver-white metal frame. There are a few elements in grey and translucent lines that signify the phone's internal circuits.
The phone comes with two unique cases: Leather Case and Ring Case. The Leather Case reflects the fashion house’s iconic bianchetto technique, which features the beauty of a white canvas and the “four stitches” emblem that signifies anonymity. The case has a unique painted texture that can change over time. The Ring Case uses Maison Margiela’s emblematic numeric coding as a ring.
Samsung has also created a custom UI theme for the phone, featuring a wallpaper that creates a see-through look and new icons. Even the phone's box packaging is quite different, revealing the shape of the phone.
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition will be available in China (Hong Kong), France, and South Korea, starting from December 1, 2022. The company hasn't revealed its price or if the device will be made available in other markets in the future.
