Samsung Get Back Into The Flip Business

If you are desperate to go back to the good old days of flip phones, Samsung may have an option, but it will cost you over $2.5K.

Overnight several images of a brand-new Samsung’s next-generation dual-screen Android flip phone appeared, the device is a dead ringer for the flip phones of old.

The device features a pair of 4.2-inch Full HD displays, a Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB of RAM, a 12MP rear-facing camera and a 2,300mAh battery.

One thing you can bet on it’s a huge upgrade from the old-school Motorola Razr but nowhere near their top Galaxy 8 devices.

Called the W2018 the device is set to be launched in China in 2018 at the staggering price of US$2,000, Australians wanting to buy the device will have to order it online.

The Android 7.0 Nougat-powered W2018 will at this stage only be available in Asia, however its success could dictate what Samsung does with the device.
