Samsung is in the news for launching world’s first foldable smartphone soon, however, the South Korean manufacturer has been launching flip phones since the last couple of years which comes with flagship features seen in premium smartphones. Now, the Samsung W2019 has been launched as the new Android flip phone from the company with dual Super AMOLED displays, dual cameras, Qualcomm’s flagship processor and more.
That said, the biggest highlight of the Samsung W2019 are the two 4.2-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display panels on the device where one can be accessed when the Samsung W2019 is flipped closed and the other can be accessed when the handset is opened to use the keypad. Not only features but the Samsung W2019 also bring nostalgia with it as there was a time when flip phones and slider phones were considered the coolest ever designs in the industry.
Moreover, Samsung W2019 comes with a dual 12MP+12MP rear camera setup which features variable aperture, something that is present in flagship phones from the company such as Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9. There is also the Snapdragon 845 processor under the hood along with up to 6GB RAM, which makes Samsung W2019 a beast when it comes to performance credentials.
The Samsung W2019 Android flip phone has been launched in the Gold Extreme Edition and Platinum Golden Collector’s Edition which come with Gold colour and Silver colour themes, respectively. The W2019 flip phone also comes with Samsung’s own Bixby voice assistant integration which can be accessed by press-and-hold gesture on the “8” key. There is also a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for biometrics.
