Samsung Electronics has launched the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro, a foldable smartphone that pays homage to the company's SGH-E700 model from 2003.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro features a 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset, and a 3,300mAh battery.

Samsung Electronics has officially announced the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro, a new addition to its foldable smartphone lineup. The new device, which was unveiled on March 17, 2023, is designed to celebrate Samsung's legacy of innovation, particularly its SGH-E700 model from 2003. The Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro features a design reminiscent of the early 2000s, with a unique color scheme and a small external display. The device also includes modern features such as a 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset, and a 3,300mAh battery. The Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro is available in select markets starting from March 18, 2023.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro's design is a nod to the SGH-E700, a popular flip phone model from Samsung that was released in 2003. The new device features a similar color scheme, with a silver body and a purple hinge. The external display, which was a key feature of the SGH-E700, has also been incorporated into the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro. However, unlike the monochrome external display of the SGH-E700, the new device features a color external display that can show notifications and other information.

In terms of specifications, the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro is equipped with a 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display with a resolution of 2640 x 1080 pixels. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset and comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The device also features a dual-camera setup on the rear, with a 12MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor. The device is powered by a 3,300mAh battery and supports 15W fast charging.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro is available in select markets starting from March 18, 2023. The device is priced at $1,399, which is the same price as the standard Galaxy Z Flip5.
