Samsung Galaxy S6 Clamshell: A Flip phone with Exynos 7420 SoC, 3GB RAM and 16MP camera

Despite the inception of large touchscreen devices the popularity of flip phones is still on the high in China and South Korea. So much so that even Samsung is being reported to bring out a flip version of their present flagship - Samsung Galaxy S6 Clamshell.

This isn't the first time for Samsung though. Previously the company have tried their hands on a 'smart' flip phone. Very recently a report emerged stating that the company is working on a device dubbed the Galaxy Golden 3.

However, the Samsung S6 Clamshell has passed TENAA certification in China and is expected to launch soon. Though the exact name of the alleged device SM-W2016 isn't known as of yet, the folks at SoftPedia report that it will be called the Samsung Galaxy S6 Clamshell. And why not?

Just like the Samsung Galaxy S6, the alleged flip device dubbed the S6 Clamshell packs a 64bit octa core Exynos 7420 SoC with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage! Furthermore it comes with the same 16MP camera capable of recording 4K videos and a 5MP front facing selfie snapper, as seen on the Samsung Galaxy S6.

As expected from a flip phone, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Clamshell comes with a smaller 3.9 inch SUPER AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280x768 pixels - which is slightly higher than HD (1280x720p). Moreover it comes with alpha-numeric aka. T9 keyboard.

The SM-W2016 aka Samsung Galaxy S6 Clamshell which cleared TENAA very recently comes with Android Lollipop 5.1.1 out of the box. The device weighs at around 206 grams and measures at 120.4x61.5x15.1mm.

Nevertheless there's no doubt that the SM-W2016 is a high end device but whether or not it will be called the Samsung Galaxy S6 Clamshell is still debatable. However one thing is for sure it would be priced rather high i.e. upwards of 4999 Yuan equivalent to Rs 50,000 approx. Chances of Samsung bringing this phone to India is however quite less.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m

Why do Android fanboys hate admitting that Samsung copied Apple?

It's impossible to cover the mobile market without diving into the good ol' "iOS vs. Android" debate from time to time. These are the two biggest mobile platforms on the planet, so they're constantly being compared. Likewise, Samsung and Apple are the world's top two smartphone vendors, so their phones are constantly pitted against each other as well. Of course, there's another reason Apple and Samsung are often mentioned in the same breath: after entering the market, Samsung quickly grew to become the top mobile device maker on the planet thanks in large part to Apple. First, Samsung did everything it possibly could to copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Then, it spent billions upon billions of dollars belittling Apple products in TV, online, and print advertising. Samsung spent years positioning its own devices as the cool alternative to Apple's iPhone, and its efforts paid off big time. Even now, Samsung continues to copy Apple all the time acro
