Flip phones are a thing in the late nineties and early noughties but the form-factor has since given way to the all-screen touch-centric design language of smartphones today. Despite that, it seems there is still a market for flip phones in amongst the iPhones and Galaxy phones of the world, and Samsung has been cashing on the demand. 

Say hello to the W2019, a foldable phone from Samsung but it’s not the foldable phone from Samsung. The W2019 is the latest in a line of foldable phones from the makers of the Galaxy Note 9 with a price tag that would make even the most die-hard iPhone fans blush.

Samsung had unveiled a working foldable smartphone during their developer conference last week. It can seamlessly transform from a candy bar phone into a larger 7.3″ tablet-mode display. 

Usually with a new form factor like this, the commercial device is more of an experimental device to see how consumers would react to it.  This is similar to the original Galaxy Note, Galaxy Round and Galaxy Note Edge. However, it seems that the Korean smartphone maker will be taking this futuristic display to the masses and it will be sold globally.

Samsung is a leader when it comes to Super AMOLED displays. Over the years, they have managed to fit a larger display without increasing the width of their smartphones. The double curved Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy S6 edge was one of their greatest breakthroughs and on the Galaxy S8, they have trimmed down its forehead and chin to create a tall Infinity Display.

While most manufacturers have gone with the notch route, Samsung has refrained from following the trend for quite some time now. During its developer conference in San Francisco, it appears that Samsung will eventually release a notch smartphone with its new range of Infinity Displays. There’s not just one but three different designs but fortunately, it’s less intrusive than the rest.
