There were rumors that Samsung was planning to introduce an Ant-Man edition Galaxy S6 Edge+, similar to its Iron Man Galaxy S6 Edge. The company has just officially announced the Galaxy S6 Edge+ Ant-Man edition.
Samsung knows that some smartphone fans love their devices equally as much as their favorite comic book superhero. The company and Marvel Entertainment entered into a global brand partnership that would allow the smartphone maker exclusive rights to use the comic book maker's extensive creative material and content.
"Samsung is passionate about the stories around our products and the people to use them," said Younghee Lee, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing, Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. "Partnering with Marvel gives us the opportunity to bring our industry-leading mobile display technology to life. Through visual storytelling made possible by Marvel's outstanding entertainment universe, Samsung's Galaxy users will be able to enjoy the maximum of our product benefits."
"Marvel is committed to bringing world-class content to our fans and Samsung clearly shares our passion for creative storytelling. We are thrilled to be able to bring our content to life through the incredible products from this global leader in mobile technology!" said Bob Sabouni, Marvel's EVP of Global Marketing Partnerships."
Samsung most recently catered to Iron Man fans with the launch of the limited edition Iron Man Galaxy S6 Edge, which consisted of a red and gold body, specially designed case and a wireless charging pad that perfectly matched the smartphone.
We recently reported that there were rumblings Samsung was set to release an Ant-Man-themed Galaxy S6 Edge+. The phablet has just gone on sale in China and is priced at 5,888 yuan or around $926.
Unlike the Iron Man Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung has decided to ship a standard color Galaxy S6 Edge+ with an Ant-Man-themed protective case, and it doesn't appear to include a custom wireless charger like the Iron Man edition.
There's no word on what other regions the Ant-Man Galaxy S6 Edge+ edition will be released in, but we'll keep you posted once we hear any news.
