Delhi : Samsung is paying tribute to one of its most significant models from two decades ago, the Samsung E700, with a limited edition Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro. Samsung has a long history in the flip phone industry. The Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro, a limited edition phone that honors Samsung's innovative heritage, will be on sale starting on November 1 in Korea, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Australia and on November 2 in France, according to a statement released by Samsung Electronics today.

Inspired by the SGH-E700, a device that captivated the market in 2003 with its remarkable appearance and performance, the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro was created 20 years ago. Since the SGH-E700 was the first mobile phone from Samsung to have an integrated antenna, it was revolutionary at the time.

Similar to the E700, the Flip5 Retro has the same recognizable silver and indigo blue hues. It also has some retro pixel graphics UI adjustments and a cityscape animation on its Flex Window cover screen.

Samsung includes Flipsuit cards with stickers of the many Samsung logos from previous periods together with a lovely packaging displaying the logos of the Z Flip5 and the E700 when the phone is sent. A collector card for the Samsung E700 with an etched unique serial number is also included in the packaging.

Limited editions of the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro will be on sale in South Korea on November 1 and in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Australia on November 2. Only the Samsung official website offers the limited edition gadget for purchase to consumers in these areas. Prices have not yet been disclosed.
