An athlete competing in the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics, to be held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, has listed their exclusive Samsung smartphone on eBay. This device, a Galaxy Z Flip 7 in a distinctive Olympic Blue hue, features 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, enhanced with a unique Olympic logo.
The phone, not available for general purchase, holds added value due to its exclusivity for competitors. Currently, bidding has reached $1,225 with four days remaining on the listing, and a 'Buy It Now' option is set at $1,680. This surpasses the standard Galaxy Z Flip 7's US retail price of $1,099.99.
Samsung, a long-time partner of the Olympics since 1998, provides these specialized devices to enhance the athletes' experience during the Games. There appear to be no prohibitions preventing Olympians from selling these gifted phones, as evidenced by the seller's history of trading Olympic memorabilia on eBay.
