Samsung W2014, the Snapdragon 800-powered flip phone

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.

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.

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.

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.

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