Samsung has always been at the forefront of mobile innovation, especially in the realm of flip phones. Looking back at its illustrious journey, Samsung has chosen to pay tribute to a standout model from two decades ago - the Samsung E700. This tribute takes the form of a limited edition phone named the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro.
The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro isn't just a modern device; it's a blend of the past and the present. It proudly flaunts the indigo blue and silver colours reminiscent of the E700.
And for those who appreciate the little details, Samsung has added pixelated graphics and an eye-catching cityscape animation to the phone's Flex Window cover screen.
Samsung believes that the experience starts right from the unboxing. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro is packaged in a box that pays homage to its roots. Both the logos of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Samsung E700 are prominently displayed.
Inside the box, customers will find Flipsuit cards decorated with stickers, each one showcasing different Samsung logos from over the years. To make this limited edition even more special, a Samsung E700 collector card, etched with a unique serial number, is included.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro features the same iconic indigo blue and silver colours as the original Samsung E700 flip phone. It also comes with some nostalgic pixel graphics UI tweaks and cityscape animation on its Flex Window cover screen.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro is expected to have the same specifications as the standard Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, which includes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display, and a 3,700mAh battery.
Those keen on reliving the flip phone era are in for a treat. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro release date is imminent. It will be available in South Korea from November 1.
Just a day later, on November 2, this retro-inspired phone will be up for grabs in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Australia.
But here's the catch: if you're looking to own this piece of nostalgia, you'll need to head to Samsung's official website, as it's the exclusive platform for its sale in these countries. As of now, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro price hasn’t been disclosed.
