Samsung made a batphone. Why? Why not? As the Verge explains: This isn’t the phone we need, it’s the phone we deserve right now-
Just about a week ago, Samsung announced a special edition of the Galaxy S7 Edge. Called the Galaxy S7 Edge Injustice Edition, the phone is meant to commemorate the third anniversary of the release of the Injustice: Gods Among Us mobile game. Arbitrary anniversaries aside, the Injustice Edition features a custom color scheme; special, blacked-out Gear VR headset; and special Batman-themed plastic case, all packed into a box capped off with a gold-colored batarang.
Let me be perfectly clear: there is nothing special about the S7 Edge Injustice Edition in terms of hardware features or capabilities. It is the same S7 Edge that’s been on sale for a few months, complete with 5.5-inch, curved Super AMOLED display, 12-megapixel camera, and water-resistant features. The same can be said for the Gear VR headset that comes in the kit: in terms of capabilities, it’s the same Gear VR that’s been available for purchase since last fall.
But the Injustice Edition (which should really just be called the Batman phone, but isn’t) has a blacked-out color scheme with gold highlights and a Batman batarang symbol on the back where the carrier logo usually is. It looks absolutely dope, making the admittedly attractive standard black S7 Edge look pedestrian by comparison.
