Samsung handed out nearly 17,000 Galaxy Z Flip 6 phones during the Paris Olympics, and some eBay sellers are now seeking $10,000 for the limited edition foldables.
For the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic games, Samsung created almost 17,000 exclusive Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition phones to be given away to athletes and “Olympic family.” As the Olympic games now draw to a close, many of those phones are being flipped online and are available to those who weren’t chasing a spot on the podium, as spotted by Mobile Syrup. A quick eBay search reveals that many of the phones were never opened and can now be snatched up by non-Olympians at a premium.
It’s a fast turnaround, after social media sites like TikTok were flooded with unboxing videos, and the devices popped up during the opening ceremonies as athletes used them to record the procession of boats down the Seine.
