In honor of the newest addition to the 'Pirates of The Caribbean' film franchise, Samsung and Disney are releasing a special-edition Samsung Galaxy S8.
Usually with themed releases, Samsung will customize the device in some way. But spec-wise, this special-edition Samsung Galaxy S8 is no different from the traditional model. This release is largely differentiated by its packaging as the phone comes in a pirates-booty retail box, includes a special phone ring holder and comes preset with a themed wallpaper. For the time being, this special-edition release will only be available in China and the device retails for $870.
Currently only one version of the phone is available in the set with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal memory. Available today, this limited-edition release is great for super-fans of Pirates of the Caribbean.
