Back when it announced the limited edition Galaxy S7 edge designed for the Rio 2016 Olympics, Samsung said that it would gift the phone to all 12,500 athletes competing in this year's games. And the manufacturer has done just that.

All athletes will also receive Samsung's IconX earbuds. The phone itself features a black metal frame with colored accents for the volume, power, home buttons and the camera housing. Blue Olympic rings at the back round out the design changes for the commemorative edition.
