Just a couple of days after launching its high end Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+, Samsung has released another phone for the Chinese market. The phone with the model number G9198, is basically the first Samsung Android smartphone with a flip out form factor, sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC.
The Samsung flip phone will come with a dual 3.9-inch SuperAMOLED display having a WXGA resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC will be paired with 2GB of RAM. It will most likely come with Android Lollipop 5.1 OS with the Touchwiz UI.

The phone will also sport a 6MP camera in the front, which has a higher megapixel count than even Samsung’s flagship phones. On the rear side you will get a 16MP camera with an f/1.9 aperture which is the same as that seen on the Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 5 and even the Galaxy A8.
On the connectivity front, you get LTE, NFC, Bluetooth 4.1 and so on. The phone is powered by a 2,020mAh battery and Samsung claims you can get 189 hours of standby time.
The price of the phone is not known at the moment and it is being speculated that the phone is only meant for the Chinese and South Korean market.
