Samsung is partnering with fashion house Thom Browne for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip launch

American fashion house Thom Browne is named in particular, with the company set to release a special version at 3 million Korean won (about $2500). Thom Browne had teased a collaboration some weeks ago. What these packages will contain is unknown, but I would expect at the very least gold plating. Samsung has reportedly already produced 500,000 Galaxy Z Flip handsets and hopes to sell 2.5 million units this year, with the handset reportedly hitting shelves on Valentines Day, a mere 3 days after its official launch.
