Many thought that with the advent of the era of iPhone mobile phones laid out thing of the past – modern flagships and “middling” almost without exception belong to the candybar. However, not everyone got used to the touch keyboard, some prefer the good old miniature push-button phones with flip-up lid. Version of the “clamshell” allows to combine a physical keyboard with a relatively small size of the gadget.

According to CNET, with reference to the Korean edition of the Digital Daily, “clamshell” will be called the Samsung Galaxy Folder. The gadget will receive a relatively small screen with a resolution of 800 by 380 pixels and a fairly powerful dual-core Snapdragon S4.
