Samsung hasn’t launched one for a few years now, but the company has made designer versions of its foldable phones in the past. It collaborated with Thom Browne<\/a> on special versions of both the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip phones.\n<\/p>\n

The idea has caught on with Samsung’s Chinese rivals who have made similar moves. Honor’s latest flip foldable, the Magic V Flip 2, is also being offered in a Jimmy Choo-branded edition. <\/p>\n

\nSamsung hasn’t made a designer version for a couple of years now\n<\/p>\n

These special edition phones don’t have anything different under the hood when compared to the normal variants. It’s simply a cosmetic affair with designer-branded accessories, wallpapers, and some additional digital content. <\/p>\n

That was the extent of Samsung’s designer versions with Thom Browne, and the company hasn’t done that for a few years now. It released the Thom Browne edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 5<\/a> in 2023 and even a Maison Margiela-branded Galaxy Z Flip 5<\/a> that same year. Samsung didn’t bother with designer collaborations last year and didn’t mention anything at launch for this year’s foldables.\n<\/p>\n

Honor teamed up with Jimmy Choo for the Magic V Flip last year and has continued that partnership with the new Magic V Flip 2. The device is available in a special colorway, has a hinge engraved with the designer’s name, comes with custom wallpapers, and some very sparkly cases. The device, much like the regular V Flip 2, is only available in China right now.\n<\/p>\n

Perhaps Samsung feels that its foldables no longer need that designer glamour to stand out, or it’s simply waiting for a better creative fit. Be that as it may, Samsung’s rivals will certainly seek to fill that designer foldable vacuum. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung hasn’t launched one for a few years now, but the company has made designer versions of its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[257],"tags":[18,16745,5922,19,17,279,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-19113","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-galaxy-z-flip-7","10":"tag-honor","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-mobile","14":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
