Samsung launches flip phone Galaxy Golden at Rs 51900 in India

[RoBoGhOsT]

Samsung has launched Galaxy Golden smartphone in India which is similar to the Galaxy Folder launched in Korea few months back. The smartphone features dual touchscreen displays and T9 keypad. The Galaxy Golden brings the classic clamshell or flip form factor back with Android OS.



The Galaxy Golden has 3.7 inch WVGA resolution display on front and back. It is powered by 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM , 16GB internal storage expandable via microSD card slot. The smartphone runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS.

There is 8MP rear camera and 1.9MP front facing camera. It has 1820mAh battery.

Those who think Galaxy Golden should be cheap will be very disappointed, because Samsung has made it the most expensive smartphone in India till date by pricing it at Rs 51,900.

So any takers for the Golden Flip ?

Why is samsung going after "Golden" type phones ? Looks like they are again following the lead of a well known "fruit" company.

Samsung, keep on getting "inspired"
Anyhow, this phone isnt worth the 51.9k.

I will buy it for 15,900 for sure...

too much cost for phone like that.

This is what happens when one reaches the peak.Trying to do work with all sorts of nonsense as Nokia did with Veritu.Samsung needs to focus more on existing form factors first.

I would rather buy the MotoRazr V2 as a secondary phone if I was craving this form factor.

 

[ayanavish]

lol, I read it 15,900 too.

 

[Sobirvs]

lol, I would not buy it, even for 15,900

 

[sumatrix]

But are we sure its 51900 for one or is it 51900 for half a dozen ???

 

[ankushv]

Not for 1590

 

[rkkaranrk]

I'll trade Samsung my 7/8 years old Moto V3i for golden

 

[vpraveenis]

specs are mediocre for that price. And what is the use of two displays with same size?

 

[mathrisk]

That's outrageous pricing for phone of such mediocre specs.

I think it is not about the use, it is about "Being First in the market" to do XYZ stuff, like Galaxy Gear.
