Remember Samsung’s second-gen dual-screen Android clamshell we spotted a couple of month ago? Well, here it’s ultimately: announced in partnership with China Telecom, this SCH-W999 flip phone packs two 3.5-inch 480 x 800 Super AMOLED panels back to back, in conjunction with a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8660, Android 2.3 with TouchWiz, HyperSkin back cover (as featured at the Galaxy Nexus for grip plus anti-smear), five megapixel camera, Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi and WAPI (China’s not-so-successful tackle WiFi, basically).
Like many phones on China Telecom, the W999 comes with dual SIM slots and dual-mode connectivity (GSM and CDMA2000, with the latter offering EV-DO 3G), but with the extra support for penta-band radio for globetrotters. Would like to nab one? We’re observing a 2012 launch, though there is not any word on prices just yet — well, simply so you realize, the predecessor W899 starts from ¥8990 ($1,410), so good luck together with your garage sale. We got you some pictures from the China launch event after the break, courtesy of Samsung Mobile.
