Samsung W2016 – A Samsung Galaxy S6 “stuck” inside a flip phone

If we observe carefully, we will notice that a part of the Samsung W2016 looks similar to the Galaxy S6. In general, this is a flip phone whose top half contains 2 screens (3.9-inch 1280 x 768 pixels AMOLED display each), and bottom half has a T9 numeric keypad and a battery. The machine weighs 204 grams, measures 15.1 mm of thickness (when closed) and allows you to choose between gold or silver color.

In terms of Samsung W2016 specs, there are an Exynos 7420 chip, 3GB RAM, 64GB ROM, TouchWiz OS based on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, a dual SIM, and a 2,000mAh battery equipped with fast-charging tech (though, in fact it is smaller than Galaxy S6 batt). As for the camera combo, W2016 sports a 16MP primary and a 5MP secondary to help you take quality photos.

Well, maybe the giant Korean smartphone maker is wanting to bring back the golden time of flip phones but at a higher level. We cannot deny that the Samsung W2016’s design and features are of an Android flagship. Therefore, Samsung W2016 can totally be the king of its kind at the moment. Do you agree?

Samsung W2016 price and avalaibility

Despite receiving a quiet official launch, W2016 is still a device we cannot ignore since it is so beautiful and powerful. Unfortunately, Samsung W2016 price and its eventual availability outside of China have not been unveiled yet. Let’s wait for the company’s announcement!
