Samsung seems to have hitched a ride on the new-age retro bandwagon with its release of two flip phone/smartphone hybrids.
The Samsung Hennessy flip phone was released last week for the Chinese market and one week later the tech giant announced a second flip phone/smartphone hybrid: the Samsung Galaxy Golden. Both the Hennessy and the Galaxy Golden are dual-screen phones that run on the Android operating system. The Galaxy Golden runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and features two 3.7 inch Super AMOLED touch screens. The two screens are mounted back-to-back allowing you access the smartphone screen in both the closed and open positions the flip phone has to offer.
Despite the Galaxy tag on the Golden, the flip phone hybrid is not on the same level as the Samsung Galaxy flagship phones in terms of specifications. The internal hardware on the Golden includes a dual-core 1.7GHz processor, an 8 megapixel camera, and LTE support. Like Samsung's other smartphones, the Golden does come with an "Easy Mode" for those new to the smartphone market. The Golden, not surprisingly, comes in a champagne gold color. The hybrid phone also features a pedometer, an FM radio, and Samsung's S Health application. The Samsung Galaxy Golden will most likely not hit shelves in the United States, similar to the China-bound Hennessy, but is expected to go on sale through South Korean carriers for the South Korean equivalent of $700, which is 790,000 Korean won.
