We are slowly and steadily moving closer to that truly bezel-less smartphone. A display wrapped around the front of the phone with no bezels for distraction. But, smartphones or phones, in general, did not start out like that. Flip phones, in particular, used to be extremely famous before touchscreen devices came into being. While we have certainly moved on from that design, some companies continue to launch flip phones even today.

Samsung recently launched the W2018 in South Korea which was a flip smartphone running Android OS. Now, LG seems to be catching up on this throwback trend with the LG Folder flip phone.

Similarly, the battery offers up to 350 minutes of continues voice call with a standby time of 260 hours, which is impressive for a battery of this size.

The device has a single 5MP camera, located on the back of the device which supports autofocus. However, the camera misses out on the flashlight.

The smartphone supports 3G and 4G connectivity. However, it misses out on the 2G capabilities. Additionally, the smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Hotspot an Bluetooth for the wireless connectivity.
