Samsung is bringing flip phones back to the mainstream

I think it's really interesting to see how history can repeat itself sometimes. Look at this baby right here:

Samsung is bringing back the 90s-early 2000s flip phones back in style. Although, I must admit, they're much cooler looking now. Could just be me though, lol.

I would be too hyped of flip phones with bendable glass yet, they don't last as long as regular smartphones and they have a tendency to break if you get dust or particulates between the hinges of the phone.

When the phone is fully bendable and not relying on hinges then we can talk. And when the open/close rate goes over 200k without damages.

Yeah, I haven't really made any comments on the practicality of it so far because I honestly don't know. I just think it looks really cool, and that's it.

Ayy that's true. But i feel it's kind of "gimmicky" personally tho.
