This is the Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition: features and price
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition isn’t much different than the standard version, but it does have some big changes, starting with the box. It comes in a square white box stamped with Samsung branding and Maison Margiela branding . Inside is another box with some distinctive touches from the French fashion house. This box unfolds like the phone itself. Once unfolded, the custom Galaxy Z Flip 4 sits on top.
The mobile features a matt white rear panel and a silver metallic frame . The two rear panels have translucent lines around the edge that show the internal structure of the phone. The bottom panel also features Maison Margiela’s iconic number coding ring (circled 11) . This code ring also serves as a counter when booting up the phone. That is, it counts from 1 and when it reaches 11 it is because the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is already on.
Interestingly, the default wallpaper on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition is an X-ray image of the phone. The user interface has also been completely revamped with new app icons and other custom UI elements , all with a transparent design that shows off the internal components of the device. Aside from the phone, Maison Margiela’s design touches are also found in the accessories it includes.
It comes with two personalized protective covers, both with the emblem of the “four stitches” of the French brand. One of them also features the numerical code ring on the ring holder. On the other hand, it must be said that the charger included in the box only has the logo of the fashion brand stamped on it. It does not have any interesting design details.
