Samsung preparing a Snapdragon 808-powered flip phone for Chinese markets
Samsung has been known to dabble in the Android flip phone market occasionally (I guess someone is buying these things?) and it looks like they’ll be testing a high end Snapdragon processor in one of their upcoming flip phones. Does that make any sense to you? No? Me either, don’t worry.
A new phone has appeared in a TENAA listing with the model number SM-G9198. It looks like it sports a clamshell flipping design and some seriously high-end hardware, including a Snapdragon 808 processor and a 16 megapixel camera. That’s roughly on par with LG’s flagship G4, for reference.
The flip phone features two 3.91-inch screens with 1280 x 768 resolutions, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot. On paper, this thing is competitive with some of the high-end devices being released this year, so apparently Samsung believes there’s still a market for cutting edge flip phones somewhere.
You can expect the SM-G9198 to be released in China sometime soon, but don’t hold your breath on seeing it anywhere else.
