# Smoking Hot New Phones Samsung Dual Touch Chic G400, F480 & F400 B&O Slider By Bianca | Published 2008-02-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-dual-touch-chic-g400-f480-f400-bo-slider References: [news.trend.az](http://news.trend.az/index.shtml?show=news&newsid=1134354&lang=EN) I'm not just saying this phone is stylish, it actually is called the [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-z-flip-4) Dual Touch Chic G400. It's one of three hot new phones the company has debuted at [Mobile World Congress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-s23-ultra) in Barcelona, along with the F480 and F400 B&O Slider. Stop drooling! The Chic, shown in the center of the photo, is a flip phone in which both the inside *and* the outside displays use touchscreen technology! It has a 5 megapixel camera, 100 MB memory, microSD expansion and FM radio. The metal shell is a striking silver, which is perfect for both men and women who want to be on the cutting edge of technology and style. This will be a hot seller once it's released in May, at which time it's expected to sell for $435. On the left is the Samsung F480 which is almost identical to the [Armani phone](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giorgio-armani-unveils-the-armani-samsung-phone) we featured a while back, just without the designer branding. It will have a 2.8" QVGA touchscreen, Croix OS with tactile feedback and a 5 megapixel camera, among other features. It will hit the market for about $550 around April. On the right is the Samsung F400 B&O slider which is a two way slider phone similar to the [Nokia N95](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exclusive-limited-edition-diamond-encrusted-nokia-n95) (we featured the limited edition Alexander Amosu version before.) If you slide it like a regular phone, it has a keypad like standard mobiles, but the slider can also be pushed the other way to reveal Bang and Olufsen speakers, a drool-worthy feature for any music buff. Close to the end of March it's expected to hit the market for close to $550. For a refresher on the original Samsung F480, check out the Armani version. Below it is the limited edition gold and diamond Alexander Amosu Nokia N95. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dual Touch Technology Phones:** Companies can explore and develop innovative products to incorporate dual touch technology in mobile phones and establish their unique selling proposition in the market. - **Smartphone Camera Technology:** With high demand for enhanced photography technology, innovative cameras like 5MP can be incorporated into smartphones to attract photography enthusiasts. - **Luxury Mobile Phones:** Manufacturers can come up with limited edition models of high-end mobile phones featuring luxurious materials like gold and diamonds that appeal to customers who seek flamboyance and opulence. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile Phone Industry:** Mobile phone manufacturers can leverage advanced technology to develop cost-effective yet innovative models to satisfy diverse customer needs. - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** Consumer electronics makers can explore incorporating advanced features to smartphones like the smart camera and dual touch technology to build high-performance devices for discerning users. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** Luxury goods companies can collaborate with technology companies to create opulent mobile phone models that cater to the taste of the affluent consumer demographic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Fashion House Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-z-flip-4.md) - [Powerful Flip-Style Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-4.md) - [Flipping High-Power Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-flip6.md) - [Wacky Design Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-phone-experimentation.md) - [Refined Elegance Flip Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oppo-find-n3-flip.md) - [Flipping Multi-Display Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-flip5.md) - [Flip Phone-Inspired Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-flip5-retro.md) - [Swappable Keypad Cellphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidephone-sp01.md) - [Ultra High-Resolution Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s22.md)
