Recently we saw the Samsung Galaxy Golden, a premium flip phone. Now, there’s yet another flip phone from the company dubbed W2014, which will set you back for over Rs 1 lakh. The SCH-W2014 was launched at the company’s annual "Heart Of The World" charity concert in Nanjing.

Though it has striking resemblance to the most recent Galaxy Golden, the device has been built with more powerful set of components. Samsung calls it the most powerful dual-screen flip phone in its lineup, so far. The W2014 is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM. It runs on Android 4.3 and supports dual-SIM (CDMA2000 800/1900 and GSM 900/1800/1900). On the other hand, just like the Galaxy Golden, it comes equipped with two 3.7-inch Super AMOLED displays with a resolution of 800 x 480.

Dual-SIM,
13-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera
32GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD card slot

The W2014 also packs in the 1,900mAh battery, similar to the Galaxy Golden. Chinese website iFeng, which got a closer look at the device, has praised the design and keypad feedback. On the flip side, it talks about the plasticky look and feel of the hinge.

Though there is no launch date set yet, the W2014 is likely to cost over CN¥10,000 (approx. Rs 1,01,000).
