The SGH-E700 was a groundbreaking device for Samsung, as it was their first mobile phone with an integrated antenna. It quickly became a certified hit, selling over 10 million units.
The success of the SGH-E700 played a significant role in elevating Samsung’s standing in the mobile phone industry at the time, ultimately contributing to its current status as a smartphone behemoth.
In fact, the SGH-E700 was so popular that in 2007, Samsung effectively reissued the phone with new radios as a nostalgia play. This move demonstrated the enduring appeal of the device, even though it was only four years old at the time.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro not only pays tribute to the design and features of the SGH-E700 but also includes some exciting extras for collectors.
It will come with three Flipsuit cards featuring logos from different eras of Samsung’s history, adding a touch of nostalgia to the package. Additionally, the device will be accompanied by a Flipsuit case and a collector card engraved with a unique serial number, making it a truly special edition device.
