Samsung confirmed earlier this month that it was teaming up with Marvel to launch Avengers-themed versions their Galaxy S6 line. The first one is here: the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Iron Man Edition.
"We are excited to be able to offer our world-class Galaxy S6 edge smartphone designed especially for Iron Man fans through our continued collaboration with Marvel," Samsung global marketing executive vice president Younghee Lee said.
The phone is part of the collaboration between the two companies for the Avengers: Age of Ultron film. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Iron Man Edition retains the specs of the Korean tech giant's original flagship phone version. Of course, die-hard fans need to get their hands on this limited red-colored with gold trim iteration of the Galaxy S6 Edge.
The custom interface also sports similarly-themed icons, and the back of the unit has Iron Man's visage on stensil. The phone comes with a clear cover and Tony Stark's Arc Reactor which really is the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Iron Man Edition's charger.
Videos of the unit's actual unboxing can be seen online.
For now, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Iron Man Edition is available only in South Korea. China and Hong Kong get to see it in their market by June. The US is not yet on the release schedule but it could be just a matter of time for Tony Stark's fans there.
