Samsung has unveiled an Android flip-phone with dual-touchscreens in China, which will likely be positioned as a premium device.
The phone, called the SCH-W789, is displayed on Samsung's mobile products website in China, and has two 3.3-inch touchscreens, with one placed on the exterior and the other inside the phone. It runs Android 4.1 and can hold two SIM cards, a feature popular among phones in the country.
Both touchscreens have a resolution of 320 by 480 pixels. The phone uses a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, and is powered by a 1,500 mAh battery. In addition, the device has a 5-megapixel camera and also a microSD slot for expandable memory, according to product specifications on the website.
Rumors of the flip-phone had previously referred to it as "Hennessy." In an email Thursday, Samsung declined to disclose its strategy for the product, but said the phone will be launched next week by mobile carrier China Telecom for 4999 yuan ($811). It is not clear whether the SCH-W789 will only be sold in China.
