Samsung launches special edition Galaxy S7 in South Korea

Samsung has teamed up with SK Telecom and Asiana Airlines to launch a special edition Galaxy S7 in South Korea. Whilst being almost identical to the international Galaxy S7 up for sale this particular variant of the flagship smartphone features an Asiana user interface, as well as some neat boot and shutdown sequences.

Knox is onboard and, as SamMobile notes, Samsung has reportedly tweaked the Galaxy S7 to perform better during flights. Should you be a frequent flier with Asiana Airlines, you'll be able to use 50,000 miles to discount the price of the handset from the official Asiana website, where those who purchase through the airline will bag a free wireless charger and 32GB microSD card.
