These interlocking rings will also appear scattered throughout the phone’s software, so you can expect to see it pop up on your home screen, lock screen, contacts, and so on.

These devices are slated to see a limited release in the United States exclusively through Best Buy starting July 18th. We’ll also be seeing them in South Korea, Germany, and China. These Olympian offerings bring a subtly different aesthetic to the line, but we don’t yet have word regarding a price tag.
