Samsung has officially announced that they are developing a new flip phone. Now for those of you who think you traveled back in time and are actually reading this article in 2002, do not worry this is still 2015! This news is for real and to be honest, is a breath of fresh air given this era dominated by smartphones. Let’s take a look at Samsung’s blast from the past.
MORE THAN JUST A NOSTALGIA RUSH
This new flip phone created by Samsung is more than just an epic nostalgia rush for anyone who remembers how cool flip phones were back in the day. This is reportedly going to rival the hardware of any current gen smartphone. According to details, this phone is being named the SM-W2016, will have two screens, will have an octa-core 64-bit processor with 3 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of hard drive storage. This new flip phone with its reported glass and metal design will apparently be reminiscent of the Galaxy S6. Samsung must have their reasons for deciding to create a phone that has not been popular in a long time. Maybe to give the world a breath of fresh air and give fans of the 90’s and 2000’s a huge nostalgia rush. However, if Samsung can make this new flip phone popular and successful then flip phones could actually make a comeback.
HOW EXCITING IS THIS?
This is pretty awesome news considering it seems like every single day companies are releasing new smartphones. Releasing a new flip phone brings the world an old phone that many probably considering to be dead with a new pizazz. To say seeing nothing but smartphone after smartphone being released one after another is monotonous is an understatement. This new flip phone from Samsung will give the world a fresh take on an old design. The most exciting part about this news is the question of whether or not this phone will become a phenomenon again. If flip phones did end up making a comeback, it would be a tremendous breath of fresh air for the world. No release date has been reported at this time, but when that day comes people around the globe will most likely be excited. Some people will probably not care too much about this, but for the fans of nostalgia out there it does not get more nostalgic than this.
