Galaxy S20+ BTS Edition press renders leak ahead of launch

Samsung tied up with Korea music band BTS for the launch of the Galaxy S20 series. It was later revealed that it's not a usual marketing partnership but much more than that. Last week, it was reported that the South Korean smartphone giant has plans to launch a special edition Galaxy S20+ with BTS co-branding. Now, a press render of the upcoming limited-edition smartphone has been leaked.

The render was posted on Twitter by noted leakster Evan Blass (@evleaks). The image shows a purple-colored Galaxy S20+ 5G. It has an exclusive wallpaper that has the BTS logo and a seven-star constellation to depict seven members of the music band. The phone also seems to have a purple-colored, heart-shaped icon on its rear-facing camera unit and a BTS co-branding below the Samsung logo.

This special-edition phone also appears to come with a custom theme that has purple-shaped icons. The phone's purple color appears something between the Galaxy Z Flip's Mirror Purple color and the Galaxy S9's Lilac Purple color. An image of all BTS members holding the BTS edition of the Galaxy S20+ has been leaked as well.

Specifications and features of the Galaxy S20+ BTS Edition should remain similar to the standard variant of the phone. It has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with QHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It has a 10MP selfie camera with 4K 60fps video recording and a 12MP+64MP+12MP+3D ToF quad-camera setup at the rear. The phone is powered by a 4,500mAh battery and fast wired as well as wireless charging.

Samsung will also sell a BTS edition of the Galaxy Buds+, and its images were leaked a few days ago. The special-edition Galaxy Buds+ will have a purple-colors case with the BTS logo and purple-colored touch surface on the earbuds. The South Korean firm plans to sell the Galaxy Buds+ separately, but the pricing and launch markets haven't been specified yet.
