Samsung brand is adept in releasing special-edition themed smartphones, like the previous Galaxy phones having Batman logos and Star Wars themes in the past. The latest collaboration from Samsung is the Galaxy S20 Plus BTS Edition, with a matching set of Galaxy Buds Plus. However, the icing on the cake is the unique iridescent purple exterior themed with the K-pop group. The device has a BTS logo on the backside and the band’s heart iconography portrayed on the camera array.
The BTS Edition Galaxy S20 Plus and Galaxy Buds Plus will be available on the Samsung’s website and Amazon starting on July 9.
The BTS Edition of the Samsung phone also has BTS-inspired Android themes, along with a preinstalled copy of the Weverse app (a social media platform used by the BTS band members to interact with fans and share content). The package also includes photo cards of the band in the similarly BTS-themed box. The Galaxy Buds Plus BTS Edition has undergone a complete cosmetic change, toggling the standard bud hues for a pair of BTS-purple earbuds and a charging case, along with the decorative BTS and heart icons portrayed on each of the earbuds.

To make the deal more lucrative, Samsung is also offering a free BTS poster for users who pre-orders the branded S20 Plus or the Galaxy Buds. Also, the customers who pre-order both will receive two additional posters. Additionally, pre-ordering the beautiful Galaxy S20 Plus BTS Edition will get users a 50% discount on the matching Galaxy Buds.
