Tokyo Olympics Commemorative Edition Samsung Galaxy S21 Parallel Launched in Hong Kong

Whether the Tokyo Olympics can be successfully unveiled on July 23 is still a mystery. I believe many friends will want to collect relevant souvenirs in advance. One of the highly anticipated collections is the Tokyo Olympic commemorative Galaxy S21 (SC-51B) from Samsung and NTT Docomo, which was finally successfully shipped after the low-key release last month (last year’s Olympic version S20+ was directly cancelled) , Recently, parallel imports have landed in Hong Kong. Sanhe Electric in Xianda Plaza offers HK$8,880 (about NT$32,000), but the quantity is limited and reservations may be required.

The Tokyo Olympics commemorative version Galaxy S21 only has 8GB RAM and 256GB storage space. The other main specifications are the same as the regular version: 6.2-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED screen, 4,000mAh battery, triple rear cameras, IP68 dustproof and waterproof, wireless charging, etc. For the sake of environmental protection, there are no chargers, earphones or protective cases attached here, only a USB-C cable is included.

The three rear cameras are a 12-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera, a 12-megapixel f/1.8 main camera, and a 64-megapixel f/2.0 telephoto camera (using a 3x hybrid optical zoom). Video photography supports up to UHD 8K (7,680 x 4,320) @ 24fps, slow motion video is 960fps @ HD or 240fps @ FHD. The hole-drilling selfie camera on the other side has a 10-megapixel f/2.2 and supports autofocus.

So where is the difference between the Tokyo Olympics commemorative version S21? There are only packaging, appearance, and some UI elements. In addition to the limited blue and gold collocation, the body is of course also printed with the Olympic rings. In the UI, there are customized themes and AoD (Always-On Display) of the Tokyo Olympic mascot. The system also preloads the official Olympic app, but everyone can download this on their mobile phones.

When we visited Sanhe Electric, the store manager happened to have only one S21 for the Tokyo Olympics commemorative edition. If there is demand, Sanhe Electric will order another batch of parallel imports.
