You might recall that Samsung produced an Olympic Games Limited Edition of the Galaxy S7 edge that was distributed to every Olympian competing (well, except for the North Koreans). The South Korean manufacturer is doing the same thing for the 2018 Winter Olympics in its home country with some very eye-catching Galaxy Note8s.

The regular Galaxy Note8 comes in many colors, but white is not one of them. The Olympic Games Limited Edition features a white back that Samsung says is to "celebrate the winter theme," gold accents, and a relatively subtle Olympic logo with "worldwide edition" printed underneath. Completing the look is the S Pen that also has a bit of gold on it. The wallpaper pictured is one of several special ones included. It'll also come in a unique, larger box.

Over 4000 units will be given to all Olympians, IOC, and POCOG staff. Paralympians will get their own version with the Paralympic Games logo. It's unclear whether or not Samsung will opt to sell the phone to the common man afterwards. Best Buy sold the S7 edge Olympic Games Limited Edition, but it went for $100 more than the regular unlocked model's MSRP. So even if it does make its way to stores, expect to have your wallet lightened by a significant amount.
