LINE is one of the most popular messaging apps out there, and they have done so not just with features that will entice users, but also creating characters that appeal to them, and even some that we’d actually want to use as accessories. At least, that’s what they and Samsung are hoping as they have released a bunch of LINE themed accessories featuring Brown and Cony for the new flagship devices, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.
The accessories have already launched in Samsung’s native South Korea and will soon be available in 10 other countries in Asia and the Middle East, regions where LINE is one of if not the most popular messaging app. The collaboration accessories feature the two aforementioned characters and they include smartphone covers for the two devices, a wireless charger and an external battery pack. If you have a Gear S2 smartwatch, you’ll also be able to get LINE FRIENDS watch faces, which you can now download at the Galaxy Apps store.
Samsung and LINE even collaborated on a new “story” wherein the LINE FRIENDS’ planet is in danger of dimming and dying. The only way to save it is to recharge the Galaxy S7, which is apparently the planet’s sun and main source of energy. So Brown and Cony need to fly and power up the Galaxy, literally. There are also events in the Samsung Experience Studio in Seoul and Taiwan where fans can meet the LINE FRIENDS in person and experience the story through the Gear VR experience.
There are no prices indicated yet for the accessories in the Samsung website and they’re not found on the Samsung online store yet. No news if they will be made available in other territories like North America and Europe, where LINE is not the most popular messaging app.
