- Analysis by KJ David
Samsung's W2017 is an Android-run flip smartphone that packs a flagship-level mix of pros and cons inside a retro clamshell body. This, however, means that it weighs a lot heavier (208 grams) than most bar-type smartphones 
, which usually weigh in at around 150g only. Also, it measures 15.8mm-thick when closed , obviously making it way bulkier versus conventional Android phones.
If you can live with its cumbersome physique, you get dual 4.2-inch Full HD AMOLED screens 
, which are powered by a premium-class quad-core Snapdragon 820 2.15GHz + 1.6GHz CPU and 4GB's worth of RAM . Its pros also include a 4K-video-enabled 12-megapixel f/1.7 main camera , which easily overshadows what several other smart flip phones sport, and a fingerprint scanner .
While the 2300mAh battery power sounds like a con, given the fact that it has two Full HD screens, the W2017's wired/wireless fast-charging system gives us some relief. Additionally, it boasts a 64GB memory aided by an up-to-256GB microSD card slot , while a 5-megapixel f/1.9 secondary camera takes charge of the selfie department.
With an assortment of high-end specs that pit it against many 2016 flagship monoblock Androids, the Samsung W2017 appears to be an obvious choice for tech-savvy users who prefer the classic flip form factor.
