Partnerships between smartphone manufacturers and other brands are not uncommon. As the automotive world has passed its prime (Huawei/Porsche, OnePlus/McLaren), brands are increasingly attacking the world of pop culture.
In this field, Samsung is undoubtedly one of the most prolific. After joining the Marvel Universe with Ironman or Avengers Edition models, the South Korean takes on another pop culture icon: Pokémon.

Even if it means stepping into a universe that shook an entire generation, you might as well associate it with a flagship model. Samsung has therefore chosen the Galaxy Z Flip 3, its latest clamshell foldable smartphone, to seduce the public.
Technically, the smartphone does not change compared to the classic version. We therefore find a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with Full HD + resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Powered by a Snapdragon 888 chip, 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of storage is this Z Flip 3 Edition Pokémon also compatible with 15W charging (and 10W wireless).
For the photo, Samsung uses a dual 12 Mpxl sensor with a wide-angle lens (f/1.8) and an ultra-wide angle (f/2.2). The 10 Mpxl front sensor will delight selfie lovers.
This limited version of Pokémon is therefore distinguished only by its yellow dress with the likeness of Pikachu as well as its packaging rich in goodies.
Inside the box in the colors of the Pokémon there are accessories decorated with graphic elements from the universe of these little monsters. On the program are a transparent Pikachu case, a Pokémon pouch with a strap, a Pikachu keychain, a Poké Ball-shaped holder and several cards with the image of the most famous Pokémon: Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Snorlax and Mew.
The only disappointment for Pokémon fans, this limited version will only be available in South Korea. Don’t expect any later marketing in Europe, Samsung has never opted for this strategy in the past. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 Pokémon Edition will be officially presented on 25.
