Samsung, a prominent player in the flip phone market, is paying homage to one of its most iconic models from two decades ago, the Samsung E700.
This tribute takes the form of a special edition device, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro proudly sports the same timeless indigo blue and silver color scheme as the classic E700. Furthermore, it introduces some nostalgic user interface enhancements and features a captivating cityscape animation on its Flex Window cover screen, which serves as the secondary exterior screen.
Samsung’s presentation of this device is nothing short of elegant. The phone comes in a meticulously designed box adorned with the logos of both the Z Flip 5 and the E700. Upon opening, you’ll discover Flipsuit cards embellished with stickers featuring various vintage Samsung logos. Notably, the package includes a Samsung E700 collector card engraved with a unique serial number.
The limited release of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro is set to commence on November 1 in South Korea, followed by its availability on November 2 in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Australia. Customers in these regions will have an exclusive opportunity to acquire this collector’s item through Samsung’s official website.
While pricing details are currently under wraps, it’s expected that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro will be priced in line with the standard Z Flip 5, making it an enticing prospect for fans of Samsung’s nostalgic offerings. For interested buyers in Pakistan, importing the device from these select regions may be the route to acquiring this distinctive edition.
As for the possibility of additional limited-edition models, particularly for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, it remains uncertain. However, given Samsung’s history of introducing multiple such devices, there is reason to remain optimistic for further releases in the future. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements from Samsung.
