Clamshell phone Samsung Galaxy Folder showed off for the camera - Android World

Folding

Samsung Galaxy Folder is a clamshell model which is a phone that consists of two different parts, which can be used by a hinge. collapsed Such models we do not see for years and are actually used mainly in the Far East. A smartphone in clamshell form, we have not encountered here.

In this article we wrote about the two models we encountered in various publications, the Samsung Galaxy Flyer and Samsung Hennessy. Today, there are the first pictures of the Samsung Galaxy Folder appeared through a forum.

the pictures above we see indeed a clamshell device with a large hinge in the middle. At the bottom we see a classic keyboard as we ‘used’ always used in our simple phone calls. The top consists of a double screen with a size of 3.67 inch , since both screens, we can assume that the Galaxy Folder is folded like a real smartphone behaves the same. When unfolded, it is actually a ‘normal’ phone with a touchscreen.

We distinguish clearly Samsung Touchwiz on the small screen and the unit is beautifully finished with a gold metallic color. The unit would run according to previous rumors a 1.7 GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 and equipped with 2GB of RAM.

Handy?

At first glance this seems an unnecessarily model Samsung lets get out of its factories here again but that is not quite so. In countries like China and Japan, these clamshell phones still very popular and the Galaxy Folder so are in great demand.

For the Dutch and Belgian market, I can see that opportunity. How many people do not quite want a smartphone but have the fear of the touchscreen? Then a Samsung Galaxy Folder can be sure.

a nice transition phone
