Japan just got a foldable flip phone that costs only $420 — or $265 on sale


Is Samsung about to reveal a phone like this, too?

That’s a round cover screen in there, a 466 x 466-pixel one that measures 1.43 inches in diameter, and the company’s using it primarily for widgets and as a selfie cam: ZTE is only advertising IP42, so you won’t want to open this one up in more than a very light rain, compared to the IPX8 water resistance of the Flip. Samsung leaker Revegnus posted in November that the company had “set the price target” for its own midrange foldable at $400 to $500.
