The Korean mobile phone maker Samsung has unveiled a new handset, namely the OZ Double Folder (SPH-W6450) dual flip phone. It adds to the series of recently presented devices the company plans to release to the market during this year, among which we could see the Samsung OMNIA HD, or the SPH-W7100, which comes with an alarm siren.

The new Samsung OZ Double Folder is reported to have already been launched to the South Korean market, and it has been developed to fulfill the needs of any texting addict, as well as the gadget enthusiasts out there.

The Samsung OZ Double Folder dual flip phone can provide users with different functionalities depending on the way they flip the handset. In case they would like to use it for calling or for texting, the device should be used as a normal clamshell phone. Those that would rather enjoy live TV or images and videos, as well as users that want to surf around the Internet, should flip it horizontally.

It seems that Samsung has worked a lot on delivering an enhanced portable entertainment experience to its users, along with all the calling and messaging facilities the device sports. When flipped horizontally, the new double-jointed Samsung OZ Double Folder will shows up Internet, music player or DMB icons to allow for a fast access to these functionalities.

The new Samsung dual flip mobile phone also features a 2.8-inch LCD screen, plus touchpad functionality (which could be a D-Pad), and a 3-megapixel camera. It also sports Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, and an electronic dictionary function, file viewer and many more. The Samsung OZ Double Folder (SPH-W6450) is expected to become available with LG Telecom at the price of $397 (KRW600,000).
