We’ve seen how industries such as fashion and movies repeatedly reach back into the past to bring back old trends as something new. Now Samsung could be looking to do the same by bringing the classic flip phone back from the technological graveyard. According to the Korean website Digital Daily, Samsung is set to launch an Android-powered flip phone called the Samsung Galaxy Folder within weeks.
Billed as an entry-level device, the Galaxy Folder will be powered by dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor and Google Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. It will come with LTE connectivity, a retro alphanumeric keyboard and a WVGA (800×480) touchscreen display of unspecified size.
A separate report by Hi-Tech.Mail.ru adds some images of what the Galaxy Folder will look like.
The Samsung Galaxy Folder will reportedly make its debut in South Korea. It remains to be seen if it will see a global launch. There is no word yet on pricing.
Drop us a note below if you would consider going back to a flip phone and why.
