Samsung's W2018 flip phone has a variable aperture camera and flip phones

Smartphone makers are always pushing for the fastest-possible camera aperture, and until today, the record was held by LG30 with its 1.6lens. But it didn't take long before Samsung hit back with an even lower f-stop..

Do you miss the flip phones of the ’90s and early 2000s? There are plenty of people who are nostalgic for the design, even if they don’t want to give up the convenience and power of modern phones. Well, Samsung's W2018 will give users the best of both worlds, though it’s currently only been announced in China.

The W2018 is an interesting piece of hardware that combines a flip phone with a modern smartphone to make a truly unique device. The phone features a 4.2-inch outer display and a 4.2-inch inner display. The dual screens are nice, but the really neat feature is that this phone features a physical dial-pad and directional buttons. Additionally, it offers modern features such as Bixby support and a fingerprint reader on the back of the device.
