Samsung does it again! They recently released a batman themed edition of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.  This release was timed perfectly together with the recent successful launch of the Batman versus Superman: Dawn of Justice film.  Such a superb marketing move by the Korean company will surely garner more support for avid fans of the Batman franchise.  The said company can be recalled to have released a similar product last year which was an Iron Man themed unit of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge which was a limited edition and was only distributed in Hong Kong, China and Korea.

This product was created in cooperation with Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment set to celebrate the third year of the Android game application Injustice: Gods Among Us.  The said game was a worldwide hit which allows players to handle featured characters such as superman, wonder woman, the joker and other famous personalities of the DC Universe. This particular set was designed to completely engage users in the game especially with its add on virtual reality devices and features that we shall discuss shortly.

Phone Features

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Injustice edition comes in a deep black box that is marked with a bat symbol and the logo of Samsung on the top part.  Upon opening and seeing the unit, one can see that the phone itself is set on a black and gold color scheme, just like batman’s suit.  On its back is a bat sign printed in golden hue and the back camera are also line with gold edgings as well.

The set comes with a phone casing that resembles the bat suit in the movie padded and bulky which gives the uses a feel of the protection it affords Bruce Wayne when he dons the mask of his alter ego.  A golden throwing batarang comes also into boot that somehow encourages the users that they too can fight crime, the batman way by playing with the game, appealing more to those with collector mindsets in the market and will surely give them a run for their cash.

In view of improving the entertainment experience of the users, the set includes a Game VR that further immerses the user to the game environment of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Together with the Game VR comes game credits as well as Occulus VR credits that are all designed to make users jump in anticipation of this action packed Android application. The unit also comes with the already installed version of the game itself and other batman themes inside.
