It has been months since Samsung released the Galaxy Z Flip 4, and they are launching a new limited edition version of the phone. This is no surprise considering their recent success with limited-edition phones that don’t necessarily go on sale. However, this is different because this phone will be produced in collaboration with Maison Margiela, one of the most eminent French fashion designers.
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a new appearance with a matte white finish and Maison Margiela branding. The company also sells a few accessories for the new limited-edition model. Maison Margiela’s numeric coding is attached to one of the two cases’ rings, while the other has a hand-painted leather canvas. Apart from this, the phone also comes with a custom-designed flip case and a keychain.
It also has X-ray vision wallpapers and a custom Dream Wallpaper app. The phone can also be preloaded with five exclusive, hand-picked apps from Maison Margiela: Fashion Finder, Style Unlock, Dream Wallpaper, and Editor. The phone’s back has a pattern that replicates the smartphone’s internal circuitry.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition will only be sold in China. The device has the exact same specifications as the original Galaxy Z Flip 4.
The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 820 Gen 1+ SoC processor and runs out of the box on the Android 13 operating system. The phone has 512GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition is priced at approximately $1180. It is available in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. However, it remains to be seen whether this limited-edition model also makes its way to other areas.
Conclusion
The limited-edition model has some nice-looking accessories, but the price tag is not worth it. However, the phone was designed in collaboration with Maison Margiela, which counts for a lot. Overall, this collaboration will give Samsung another window of profitability in the smartphone business, which is experiencing stock shortages due to high demand for premium-priced phones. Do you think Samsung will keep bringing out limited-edition phones?
