Samsung’s collaboration with popular K-Pop
boyband BTS is coming into fruition in the form of a special edition of the
Galaxy S20+ and the Galaxy Buds+. The boyband once partnered with LG to promote
the LG G7 ThinQ a couple of years back, and there was even a BTS Edition of the
LG Q7+. A new render of the Galaxy S20+ BTS Edition has leaked thanks to
@evleaks. This one is a little different than the one we saw come from Max
Winebach.
The render shows the Galaxy S20+ in what
looks a lot like the Lilac Purple color of the Galaxy S9+. This Edition
includes unique wallpapers and themes, along with special branding below the
Samsung logo on the back, and a purple heart stamped on the camera glass.
Meanwhile, the BTS edition Galaxy Buds+
are essentially black Buds+ with purple touch surfaces, along with the special
heart and logo branding. The Buds case itself is purple. Renders of the Galaxy
Buds+ that we saw last week told us these Buds+ are “Mirror Purple” and this
purple is a bit darker than the phone above, so we wonder if they will match more
closely in person.
According to the listing of the Buds+,
these earbuds will come with an exclusive “Live Wallpaper/Sticker/Lockscreen”.
It will also use a BTS image throughout the Samsung Gear app such as when
checking the battery level. Here’s the retail packaging for the Buds+.
The BTS Edition of both the Galaxy S20+
and the Galaxy Buds+ are expected to be announced at a special event on July 9.
Samsung has already teased that pre-orders for these will open on June 19.
