Is there still a reason to have a flip phone in 2015?
With retro-style flip phones experiencing a resurgence in interest thanks in part to critically-acclaimed singer Adele’s recent music video, Samsung is allegedly planning to incite a comeback of the iconic clam shell phone designs.
The newly discovered SM-W2016, likely a successor to the Galaxy Golden, will probably only see a Korean release, although Samsung have yet to confirm this.
A new clamshell smartphone from Samsung has gone today in China.
The LG Wine Smart was created by LG so that fans of the flip phone might also have a smartphone that they can enjoy.
Takao Shinkai on Japan’s Asahi Shimbun newspaper suggests the big reasons could be price (even the new versions are much cheaper), better battery life and the fact the things are hard to smash.
It also comes with two 3.9-inch Super AMOLED displays, each with 1280 x 768 resolution, and the same curved glass as the Galaxy S6 Edge. Hiding inside is a 64-bit Exynos chipset clocked at 2.1 GHz coupled with 3 GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
Samsung is not the only brand to embrace the retro looking phone. This new flip phone from Samsung will give the world a fresh take on an old design. So while it’s powerful it’s not the slimmest phone on the market. Let us know by leaving a comment.
The device’s camera, on the other hand, offers 16 megapixel for its primary camera and 5 megapixel for the rear camera with front shooter.

With most of the customers expecting small size flip phone, it seems that the cellular giants are in no mood to compromise on the screen real estate. Lastly, the handset runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, and weighs 204 grams. There are a few rumors which say that Samsung has posted the arrival of the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OTA update for this device and it has the build number G890AUCU3BOJE on the support page.
