Samsung announces Galaxy Golden Android flip phone

Just a week after Samsung introduced the Samsung Hennessy flip phone, the company has announced a new Android smartphone that sports the same clamshell design, the Galaxy Golden.

Like the Hennessy, the Golden features dual-displays but carries a larger 3.7-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 800 x 480. It also has an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 1.9 megapixel front-facing.

Powering the device is a dual-core CPU clocked at 1.7GHz, 1GB of RAM, 1,820mAh battery, and Android 4.2 Jellybean with TouchWiz UI.

The Golden supports LTE connectivity and has a price tag of 799,700 South Korean Won or around Php31,000USD 528INR 44,783EUR 503CNY 3,847, which kinda makes you wonder if this is literally golden.

okay na ung specs kaysa dun sa naunang nailabas na clamshell phones pero sana tinrim down nila ung bezel mejo awkward na siya gamitin kasi sobrang laki na nung phone esp pag nakaopen tska ung pagkakadesign ng keypad masyadong ordinary parang sa mga nagkalat na dummy phones sa bangketa…..

Im wondering kung ilang oras lang kaya kakayanin nyan sa ganyang battery…anyway the screen is not HD, baka makatagal din sya.

Will this turn the wheel? I mean oversaturated na kasi yung walang physical keyboard and baka bumalik na ulit sa trend na may keyboard.

Wala na sila may na isip ng ibang pangalan kaya Golden na lang para hindi naman obvious sa presyo. Talagang tataas ang lagnat ng buyers nito kapag dumating dito na Php 31K + tax

I was considering on buying this phone until I saw the estimate price tag T_T

Wow, for an old fashioned flip phone with specs like that, 19k-22k would be the best bet..
