Samsung G9198 flip phone with Snapdragon 808 SoC announced

Flip phones may have lost their luster, but they still have a strong following in many Asian countries, including China. In recent times LG and Samsung have launched flip phones targeting global consumers who still love them and these flip phones are steadily gaining limelight. Last month Samsung launched the Galaxy Folder in South Korea and LG unveiled two flip phones named LG Gentle for the home market and LG Wine Smart for international markets.

Now, Samsung has expanded its flip phone portfolio with the launch of G9198 flip phone in China. It is listed on Samsung's China website with full specs, but no pricing and availability details. The same device was certified by TENAA last month.

Samsung G9198 features  dual 3.9-inch (768 x 1280 pixels) WXGA Super AMOLED touchscreens (inside and outside). Inside there is a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor with Adreno 418 GPU, 2GB RAM and 16GB expandable storage. For imaging, there is a 16-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and 5-megapixel front shooter. The two cameras seems to be the same as on the Galaxy S6, S6 edge and Note5. It runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, has dual SIM slot and supports 4G LTE, 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, GLONASS, and Micro-USB connectivity. A 2020mAh battery fuels the phone which also features a T9 keyboard and heart-rate sensor.

Samsung G9198 is likely to be China exclusive and chances are quite slim for it to make its way to the international markets.
