Samsung seems to be going all out with the Android-powered flip-phones. The new Galaxy Golden is a phone with two 3.7 inch displays, one on each side of the lid. That means you can use the phone like a normal touchscreen handset or flip open the phone and use it like a traditional flip-phone with a dialpad.
It comes just a week after Samsung introduced a slightly less impressive model called the Samsung Hennessy.
The Hennessy has two 3.3 inch, 480 x 320 pixel touchscreen displays, a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and Android 4.1 software.
The Galaxy Golden has dual 3.7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen displays, a 1.7 GHz quad-core processor, and Android 4.2 software.
Samsung’s larger phone also has an 8MP rear camera, a 1.9MP front-facing camera, and an 1820mAh battery. It support 4G LTE and has an FM radio.
The phone’s expected to sell for about $700 in South Korea. There’s no word on if or when we’ll see it in other countries.

Go home Samsung, you’re drunk.
IMO, I think that is really cool. My first phone was a flip phone since I wanted something like the communicator from the original television Star Trek series. It would be neat to have a phone that flips that also has dual screens. I hope it does not take long to get here in the USA.
So, how long until they release a new slide-out QWERTY keyboard phone?
When can we expect a Courvoisier phone from Samsung?
