The new-age retro devices boast the look and feel of a 2007 clamshell mobile phone, but the power and capability of a 2013 smartphone.
Samsung yesterday announced the Galaxy Golden — a, you guessed it, gold-tinted dual-screen clamshell handset.
The Golden (pictured above) runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and features two 3.7-inch Super AMOLED touch screens mounted back-to-back, for use when the phone is open or closed.
The Galaxy Golden runs a dual-core 1.7GHz processor, 8-megapixel camera, and includes LTE support. Expect to pay for that champagne-colored casing — South Korean carriers will sell the phone for 790,000 won ($700), though it is unlikely to reach U.S. or U.K. stores any time soon.
Last week, meanwhile, Samsung unwrapped its SCH-W789 Hennessy handset (above), which is headed to the Chinese market but also probably won't see a U.S. or U.K. release, according to Pocket-lint.
Sporting two 3.3-inch, 320-by-480 touch-screen displays with capacitive buttons, the phone doesn't stray too far from the advanced devices a majority of people use today, with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, microSD slot, 5-megapixel rear camera, 1,500 mAh battery, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, and you may as well be operating a Galaxy S4. Well, not quite, but the flip phone does include USB 2.0, Bluetooth, GPS, and WLAN.
Pricing and availability for the Hennessy have not been revealed.
