How many would get a flip phone if the specs and performance were right up there with other smartphones? This phones does look tempting.

Samsung's latest flip phone features a Snapdragon 808, dual AMOLED displays

My dad would probably like this since he always preferred the old flip phone sytle over the current phones.
 
They released something similar to this not too long ago ... However its pricing was something crazy - like $1200 !! It never came to the west.
 
wouldn't be surprised if they released it to the Japanese market as well where flip phones still have a decent chunk of the market.
 
A 3.9" screen would make it fairly easy to keep in a pocket. I wonder what the battery life is like.

I assume it would have a power saving mode. You might be able to get the battery to stretch two weeks.
