Samsung is brining back the day of the flip phone thanks to its latest smartphone design in the G9198 that takes inspiration from the dual screen device popularized a decade ago. While the G9198 might look retro in aesthetic, the smartphone itself boasts all the latest high-tech features the newest devices offer.
The G9198 cellular design was exclusive to the Chinese market, offering consumers the ability to use two screens in a flip-style smartphone. The sleek Android comes with two screens, one that appears on the front of the phone and one on the interior, both with 720p Super AMOLED design and 16-megapixel camera. Inside the phone has a traditional number keypad for fans of the traditional buttons as well as a 4GB of memory.
