Samsung’s Galaxy S8 is one of the best smartphones in the market right now and quite rightly so. It is an absolute beast of a gadget after all, both in terms of design and specs. But soon enough, another less high-tech, less expensive Galaxy phone may very well steal its thunder.
Say hello to the Galaxy Folder 2, a brand new flip phone by Samsung that’s bringing back a whole lot of nostalgia, reminding us especially of the RAZR – Motorola’s classic handset that everyone wanted back in the good ol’ days. Complete Nokia 3310 move by Samsung? Yep, you’ve got it.
Like the RAZR, the Galaxy Folder 2 is flip-able and comes in that elusive pink shade. The difference that it’s a whole lot more advanced. It has 3GB of RAM, a 1.4GHz quad-core processor, and it runs on Android 6.0. The phone will also have both 3G and 4G models, so in terms of specs, there’s nothing much to complain about here.
The Galaxy Folder 2 also has a touchscreen on its top and a retro keypad right below it, and it’s easy to see why the Galaxy Folder 2 is geared towards the “older” market, which makes us a little sad, since well; we were kind of excited about this one.
There’s just one slight problem if you want to score the phone though. Samsung has only released it in the company’s home market of South Korea, after originally releasing it in China in 2016. But you are able to buy a gold version of the phone via Qoo10, just not the pink or black models.
As of now, there’s also no word as to whether Samsung is planning an international launch for the Galaxy Folder 2, although we’re hoping that’s going to change soon.
