Looks like Samsung is serious about releasing luxury clamshell-type dual-screen smartphones as they have released another one but this time sporting a Snapdragon 800 CPU – the Samsung W2014.

w2014_1

Let’s do a recap, last August Samsung released two flip phones – the Hennessy and the ridiculously priced Galaxy Golden. Now we have the China Telecom-exclusive W2014 which is the successor to last year’s W2013 made popular in China.

w2014_2

The W2014 packs a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED WVGA (480 x 800) display or 252ppi, a 13 megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front-facing, dual-SIM connectivity and 32GB of internal storage with microSD card support.

w2014_3

Powering the device is a Snapdragon 800 CPU clocked at 2.3GHz, 2GB of RAM, 1,900mAh removable battery, and Android 4.3 Jellybean.

w2014_4

Now for the “luxury” part, this flip phone is expected to carry a price tag of more than 10,000 Chinese Yuan or at least Php70,000. You can go hating now.

Tedd · 13 years ago

marian, 29,900

Pero inooffer rin siya ng globe under Yours at 1399. Postpaid plan 999 with 400 cashout/monthly for 24months.

Maganda nga siya. Made it to the top 10 electronic products of 2013 by consumers report.

Random · 13 years ago

This is aimed at the so called “Elite” chinese class who could care less about the price.

wew · 13 years ago

honestly, mukha tong dummy phone na nabibili sa mga bangketa.

tomtom · 13 years ago

true! wala na maisip yung samsung

meowwwww · 13 years ago

yes!wala na talaga bago maisip samsung buti pa LG. :))

iAmYourFather · 13 years ago

“nag-vevertu” ka na ba samsung?

iamyourmother · 13 years ago

samsung wants to line with vertu, i guess.. :)

sinkin · 13 years ago

vertu is made by nokia,right?..but anyway waste of money if you are goin to invest to that kind of phone.i must try LG phones

luiz · 13 years ago

Just a suggestion: Try LG G2. It’s only around 30K then you can have the phone together with a free pocket photo already. :)

wew · 13 years ago

paid by LG, eh?

mj · 13 years ago

pangit lang sa G2 eh yung LG skin on top of Android software, “overcooked” ba. Nasobrahan sa customization. but overall, great device

Tedd · 13 years ago

That’s right mj. Totally agree with you. Pero overall still it’s a really good device. Kasi marami nga customization pero useful and effective naman.

rfc · 13 years ago

10,000 yuan is loose change for most people in china.

Justin · 13 years ago

Really now? Where did you get that idea?

The Truth · 13 years ago

Kung makareklamo kayo parang ginawa yan para sa inyo. Hindi yan para sa mga tambay kagaya nyo!

enlightened1 · 13 years ago

Nakakatawa naman yung ibang mga comments. Napaka-childish parang kahapon lang pinanganak.

Sa mga namamahalan: hindi kayo ang target nyan.

Pag bumili kayo ngayon nyan at naitago nyo nang matagal, say 30 years, baka milyon na presyo nyan.

Naalala nyo yung mga political ads/jingle na nakakaimbyerna (assuming matalino kayo)? Obvious di ba na hindi kayo ang target nun dahil mga pang ‘simpletons’ lang yun dahil sila ang nakararami.

Kanya kanyang target lang yan mga pre.

wew · 13 years ago

kahit 50 years hindi magiging ganun kamahal presyo nyan….magiging mahal lang siya dahil sa luma na siya..UN LANG actually sa tingin ko in 30 years tingin ko magiging mahal eh ung iPhone 2G dahil sa history nito at kung pano nito nabago ang mobile communication technology.

roiji · 13 years ago

i really want an android fliphone… but this being 70k… ito na pinakamahal na samsung mobile device! mas mahal pa sa mga highend ATIV laptops nila! kalokohan!

pcso · 13 years ago

70k? kahit manalo pa ako sa lotto di ako bibili niyan

angel · 13 years ago

what? 70k??? if ever mas mag invest nalang ako sa LG phones like G2 kesa sa ganyan.

Sharingan_yeah · 13 years ago

To be fucking honest, okay na sana yung specs. The processor, ram, memory and everything. Pero putangina, 70k??? Tangina. Tangina! Tangina everywhere.

oh_my · 13 years ago

if its really 70k…sobrang kalokohan. you can buy 2 or 3 cellphone with that.

bobo · 13 years ago

Hahaha!! Wag masyadong mag magaling at google lang pala alam mo brod… Maka bobo wagas haha!! Eh ikaw tingin mo matalino ka na nyan lagay na yan?

wew · 13 years ago

nung nakita ko ung “2.3 ghz” sabe ko ok na to at least reasonable ang presyo (thinking it is priced on abt 40 k based on the previous flip phones) pero nung nakita ko ung “70k” sabe ko shet grabe ang mahal.kahit cnu d maiisip na bilhin to hahahaha eh mas luxurious pa ang iphone eh.

secret · 13 years ago

sigurado ka kahit sino walang bibili? mga tulad mo baka hindi talaga bibili pero ung mga walang magawa sa pera siguradong bibili niyan. .

luna · 13 years ago

i wont invest to this kind of phone..seriously. there are better phones now a days like LG G2 and others.

Demer · 13 years ago

From my point of view, it would be a collectible of sorts. You wouldn’t exactly see someone buy it and use it as a daily driver. Maybe if it was made of gold(is it?), then it would be of some value.

thecorrescode · 13 years ago

Not made of gold = not luxury

My iPhone 5S Gold beats this piece of adulterated ShitSung Fagdroid dumbphone anytime of the day…LOL!

John · 13 years ago

RING-RING!!! The truth is calling, you can’t afford an Iphone 5s.

jokab · 13 years ago

troll down. i repeat, troll down!

Pia · 12 years ago

These two are my bestfriends. Lol. Keep it up!

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Oh my, what was Samsung thinking, the return of the comeback, too much power wasted there..

Sino ba ang mga target customers neto exactly? Mga rich old geezers?

luciii · 13 years ago

It does say that the phone is China Telecom-exclusive.. The demand for this kind of phone could be high in China.. So it makes sense to give such a high price. Low supply, high demand.
