A very stylish looking [slimlined phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-70-air) for the executive chic, the [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-z-flip-5s) F500 is looking hard to beat in the "we crammed in a helluva lot of cool features into a phone and still made it look sleek" stakes. At 116.4 x 50.4 x 10.7 mm in size, it fits in any suit breast pocket nicely. With 400 MB internal memory, expandable via microSD (TransFlash) cards (so 2gb?) you have plenty of room for mp3's and video/images (the phone has a nice 2 megapixel camera). Should be available early next year to the overseas market. Plus, it's probably the best [phone TV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-movingstyle) yet!
