A user manual found on Samsung’s website effectively confirms that the Korean manufacturer may be looking to bring the flip phone back from the grave in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Folder Android-powered smartphone. Identified as the SHV-E400K, the flip phone appears to have two displays on the top portion, one on the inside and another on the outside, so that it can be used opened or closed.
The Samsung Galaxy Folder looks like it will fit in Samsung’s device portfolio as a mid-range smartphone:
- Processor: Dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8930AB)
- Operating system: Google Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
- Cellular connectivity: LTE
- Other connectivity: GPS, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC
- Display: Two 3.7-inch WVGA (480×800) Super AMOLED
- RAM: 2GB
- Dimensions: 59.5 × 118 × 15.8 millimeters
- Weight: 179 grams
At this point, it appears that the Samsung Galaxy Folder will launch in Korea first. Whether it makes it to other markets remains to be seen.
