Remember the time when flip phones used to be a status symbol for people? It appears that your favourite smartphone makers have neither. After numerous launches in its home country, LG has now released a flip Android phone for the international markets, called the Wine Smart. Announced in Korea under the moniker LG Gentle earlier this year, the Wine Smart is making its way out of LG's homeland and landing in countries including France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Japan and the UK. So apart from a design which will leave you yearning for our simpler mobile past, what else do you get? There's a 3.2-inch, 480 x 320 touchscreen, 1.1GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a measly 4GB of internal storage and a microSD slot.

So apart from a design which will leave you yearning for our simpler mobile past, what else do you get? There's a 3.2-inch, 480 x 320 touchscreen, 1.1GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a measly 4GB of internal storage and a microSD slot. On the hardware side, you get a 1.1 Ghz quad-core processor with 1 GB RAM and 4 GB storage, expandable via microSD. There’s no selfie shooter, but there is a main camera with 3.15 mp resolution. Connectivity is boosted by Bluetooth 4.1 and LTE, while the phone tips the scales at 143 grams. The pricing details are not available right now but its South Korean counterpart is sold for around $170. Whether you find it a reasonable deal is totally subjective; for us it is already inducing bouts of nostalgia. The Wine Smart will hit the markets worldwide, starting from late August.
