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.

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.

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

    “nag-vevertu” ka na ba samsung?

  7. Avatar for luiz luiz says:

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

    • Avatar for wew wew says:

      paid by LG, eh?

    • Avatar for mj mj says:

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

    • Avatar for Tedd Tedd says:

      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.

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

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

    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.

    • Avatar for wew wew says:

      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.

    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!

  12. Avatar for pcso pcso says:

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

  13. Avatar for Sharingan_yeah Sharingan_yeah says:

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

    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?

  15. Avatar for wew wew says:

    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.

    • Avatar for secret secret says:

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

    • Avatar for luna luna says:

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

  16. Avatar for Demer Demer says:

    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.

  17. Avatar for thecorrescode thecorrescode says:

    Not made of gold = not luxury

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

    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?

    • Avatar for luciii luciii says:

      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.

    • Avatar for rezzie rezzie says:

      wala na siguro maisip na ibang design ang samsung… parang ang weird.

  19. Avatar for Hate Hate says:

    Wow! 70k??? hahaha!!! Very Funny Samsung!!

    Antique Design – Price it rediculous!!!* (Samsung way of thingking)
