When she used a flip phone in her "Hello" video, Adele may have actually been onto something. As it turns out, flip phones are not entirely out of fashion; in fact, Samsung is working on a model with very interesting specifications.
According to Sammobile, Samsung's upcoming flip phone will likely be called SM-W2016, and it will come with two 3.9-inch, 1280x768 pixel displays -- each on one side of the phone's cover. On the lower part of the phone you'll find a numeric keypad which, if you still remember how to use it, will make you feel like you're in the '90s again.
The Android 5.1.1 device will also have an octa-core Exynos 7420 processor, 3GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 16-megapixel primary camera and a 5-megapixel secondary one. Not bad for an archaically designed gadget, right?
In fact, the phone's design is not as passé as you might think. Samsung actually released a flip phone -- though only in Korea -- in July this year, but that one was a low-end device. Not only does the new one have premium specs, but -- based on the photos from China's regulatory agency TENAA -- it also looks like a clamshell variant of Samsung Galaxy S6.
There's no word on when the Samsung SM-W2016 will be available or where, but we suspect we won't see it in the U.S. or Europe.
