Samsung has never been shy about its strategy of spamming the world with an enormous number of gadgets every year, but its latest concoction may be its most surprising experiment yet. Engadget notes that a leaked Korean-language user manual found on Samsung’s website shows that the company has designed a flip phone called the Galaxy Folder that looks like a mid-range device featuring a 3.7-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. The Galaxy Folder will also apparently feature a dual display on the front and back of the top half of the device so users can interact with it whether it’s open or closed. We have no idea whether Samsung plans on releasing this model anytime soon but Engadget suggests that it might be tailor-made for its home market in South Korea.
