Only 2,016 phones will be sold in Best Buys stores in those selected countries. The only real difference between these and the regular Samsung S7 Edge phone is the appearance. The sides are black and glossy and there are customized pieces that are the colors of each Olympic Ring (the home button and earpiece are yellow, the power button is red, the volume controls are green, and the bezel around the camera is blue).
