Pokemon is currently the rage in South Korea and Samsung is taking advantage of this by riding in on its huge popularity. The mobile phone maker is releasing a special Pokemon edition of its Galaxy Z Flip 3 and this will be available locally.
According to The Korea Herald, Samsung’s Galaxy Flip 3 package will come with five Pokemon stickers and it was launched on Monday, April 25. Fans may get this limited mobile phone package for ₩1.28 million or around $1,029 in US dollars. The electronics made the announcement for the new phone on Sunday.
The new Pokemon Galaxy Flip 3 was said to have been jointly designed by the Pokemon franchise and Nintendo to add various Pokemon-themed accessories like a Pokemon palette, a Pikachu key ring, a Monsterball Pop socket, a Pokedex design pouch, and five Pokemon stickers.
It was mentioned that Samsung already teamed up with around 40 other brands to produce accessories for its electronic products. The company is now leading the trend in decorating smartphones with popular characters and figures.
Previously, Samsung created a Galaxy Z Flip 3 phone with a range of wireless earphones designed in collaboration with Thom Browne, a fashion designer. For the company’s smartwatch accessories, it also partnered with Maison Kitsune fashion brand to make stylish, up-to-the-minute items.
In any case, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 limited Pokemon edition is now available on the company’s website, 11Street online shopping mall, and Galaxy Campus Store. In an earlier report, it was mentioned that this will only be on sale in South Korea for now.
Meanwhile, the Pokemon craze is still raging in the country and the character has become so popular again after a food company released the Pokemon bread. People line up and visit convenience stores early just to buy them as they are always sold out.
Fans also buy these Pokemon bread to complete their sticker collection as each pack comes with a sticker. They need to collect over 150 stickers to complete the Pokemon collection and the fad has not died down yet two months after the bread was first launched.
