In terms of official details relating to the phone, Samsung has only released the pre-order teaser with just the box, without much insight into the design of the phone.

However, based on leaked images from Korean news site Daum and XDA Developers’ Max Weinbach on Twitter, the BTS edition of the Samsung Galaxy S20 will reportedly be in a purple finishing that is similar to the Mirror Purple colour found on the Galaxy Z Flip.

Though it may not seem like a particularly special shade, the colour purple has become largely synonymous with the Korean supergroup and their fanbase ever since one of their members, Kim Taehyung aka V, coined the phrase ‘I purple you’ at their 3rd Muster (a fan club event) in November 2016.

Aside from the colour of the phone and the special BTS packaging which has the group’s logo and 7 purple hearts to represent the members, the leaked phone design does not have any other sort of symbol or reference to the group which is rather odd seeing that the Samsung Galaxy A80 Blackpink Edition had a pink-on-black motif of the group’s name on the back. While the lack of design on the back of the phone could be a dealbreaker for some, most BTS fans (like me) would find it a considerate accommodation for us to put the photo cards of our favourite members on the back of our phones.

While the phone design may seem less than stellar, rumour has it that the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy S20+ BTS Edition will also include a matching pair of themed Galaxy Buds+ that would be sold separately.

In leaked images from Max Weinbach who obtained screenshots of the BTS Galaxy Buds+ via the official Samsung Galaxy Buds+ plug-ins app page on the Google Play Store (before it was taken down); the earbuds are rumoured to come in an all-purple Buds case with the BTS logo and a heart symbol, while the Galaxy Buds itself will be in a black and purple colour scheme and will feature a BTS logo on the left earbud and a heart-shaped symbol on the right earbud.

There’s currently no official word on the availability of the Galaxy Ear Buds but the BTS Edition of the Galaxy S20+ is slated to be released on 9 July with pre-orders beginning 19 June to 5 July. Do note that the limited availability may vary by country so we hope that SG ARMYs will also be able to get their hands on the highly-anticipated device!
