Samsung Unleashes Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro, Honoring Its First Hit Mobile Phone
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro, a limited-edition device designed to pay homage to the SGH-E700 mobile phone that made its debut two decades ago.
The SGH-E700 marked a pivotal moment in Samsung’s mobile phone history as it was its first to feature an integrated antenna. This innovation helped it sell over 10 million units, significantly contributing to the brand’s success in the mobile phone industry.
Drawing inspiration from the past, the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro echoes the indigo blue and silver color scheme of the original SGH-E700. It doesn’t stop there; the device replicates the pixel graphics used for the clock widget on the cover screen, and a unique cityscape-style animation graces the Flex Window.
However, if you’re in the United States, you’ll need to look from afar, as the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro will be available in Korea and various European countries.
For those who get their hands on this limited edition device, it comes with a trio of Flipsuit cards, a Flipsuit case, and a collector card engraved with a unique serial number.
Mark your calendars, as the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro is set to launch on November 1 in Korea, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Australia. You can find it exclusively through Samsung’s website.
