You would want to see this iPhone flip phone

While most of us have already completely embraced the touch method of today’s smartphones, the Japanese apparently still is in love with the old-school flip phones’ form factor. This is why artist and industrial designer Martin Hajek created this Flip iPhone concept that fuses Apple’s software on a clamshell body.

Here’s how Hajek thought of the concept:

Over in Japan people are still crazy for these so-called ‘garakei’ phones; the huge flipphones which have been around for ages. Despite the iPhone’s huge popularity in Japan the Japanese just can’t get enough of these mobile monstrosities. Presenting the garakeiPhone! Probably too difficult to engineer but still – a fun project to do … and hopefully see. :-)

With that said, take a look at more photos of the iPhone flip phone.

The question now is this — If given the chance would you want to have one?

New LG Wine Smart is an Android flip phone with touchscreen

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

LG Electronics announces the official launch of its new Wine Smart. Aiming “to make the transition from feature phone to smartphone as seamless as possible,” the flip phone admittedly has conservative specs but runs on the latest Android Lollipop so users still navigate on a very updated operating system.

LG Wine Smart specs:
3.2-inch HVGA display @ 480 x 320 resolution (touchscreen)
1.1GHz quad-core processor
1GB RAM
4GB internal storage
Expandable via microSD
3MP rear camera
VGA front camera
3G, 4G LTE
117.7 x 58.7 x 16.6mm (dimensions)
143 grams (weight)
1700mAh battery (removable)
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
Colors: Burgundy/Navy

It’s important to take note that this was previously introduced as a Korea-exclusive phone known as LG Gentle, but the company tweaked the specs a bit and now introduces it to international markets. What’s interestingly fresh about the new Wine Smart is that its 3.2-inch display is now a touchscreen and users can opt to navigate this clamshell phone using its display and not be limited to the physical keys.

Pricing is still unknown but the company says it will be available later this month in countries including France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Kazakhstan, and Japan, among others.
