While many of us haven’t seen, much less used a clamshell smartphone in a very long time, Samsung continues to churn them out en masse. Over the past couple of months, we’ve seen numerous scraps of evidence that a sequel to the Galaxy Folder is in the works. GFXBench specs followed by TENAA certification seemed to confirm its existence, while just few days back, a couple of promotional images appeared. Now, a whole bunch of hi-res snaps have leaked out of China.
With promo graphics and hands-on photos now doing the rounds, it shouldn’t now be too long until the Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 becomes official. From what we gather, it’ll get a 3.8-inch, 480 x 800 display, along with Qualcomm’s 1.4 GHz Snapdragon 425 and 2 gigs of RAM. Storage-wise, there’s said to be 16 GB of expandable real estate, while the 8-megapixel main camera should be accompanied by a 5-megapixel offering for selfies. Elsewhere, the device will be kept afloat courtesy of the 2,000 mAh battery, and should run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box.
As for the cost, the last version launched for the equivalent of $250 USD, so it’s probable that the newer model arrive at a similar price point. Since the original Galaxy Folder didn’t retail outside of Asia, we’re not holding our breath for its sequel’s chances of venturing out either.
If Sammy did decide to make this available in your area, though, would you consider buying it? Take a look through the gallery, and do share your thoughts with us below.
