Newly released Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 shows that flip phones aren’t going anywhere

The smartphone has now been revealed in South Korea as well.

The Android 6.0 powered smartphone has a 3.8 incher LCD screen measuring a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. The smartphone features a mid ranged quad-core Snapdragon 425 chipset assisted by 2 GB of RAM. The smartphone will have 1,950 mAh removable Li-ion battery. The smartphone will come with a pedometer application and a set of 15 ringtones. There is a 8 MP primary shooter on the rear along with a 5 MP selfie camera.
