The ARMY is about to have their own signature communication device. Samsung has announced that it is a special edition dedicated to BTS. The Galaxy S20 Plus BTS Edition has an iridescent purple exterior and the BTS logo on the back and the band's heart icon on the camera array; it is available with matching Galaxy Buds Plus earbuds.

According to Samsung, the phone also comes with photo cards of the band in the box as a keepsake for fans. "Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy Buds+ BTS Edition are the result of a collaboration between BTS, whose members spread messages of love and harmony through music, and Samsung, which is creating a better future with meaningful innovation,” said Stephanie Choi, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Marketing Team of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics in a statement. “We hope it will be a source of joy and entertainment for fans and consumers around the world.”

The BTS edition also has band-inspired Android themes and a preinstalled copy of BTS' preferred social media platform, Weverse.

Fans can pre-order the BTS phone beginning on Monday (June 15) exclusively from Weverse (only in South Korea and the U.S.); the phone and earbuds will also be available to pre-order online from Samsung.com beginning on June 19. The devices will officially go on sale on July 9, marking the seventh anniversary of the ARMY.
