Samsung W21 5G (flip phone) gets Wi-Fi Alliance certification


Samsung W20

Smartphones are constantly evolving to a point that it’s hard to follow the new technologies. Nowadays we have bezel-less screens, foldable displays, under glass cameras, and a lot of stuff that makes us wonder what is the big next thing. Meanwhile, there’s still a particular niche asking for traditional designs with the old flip concept. Interestingly enough, this is a design that is making a comeback through modern foldable handsets like the Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola RAZR. However, Samsung also wants to serve those that really want a device that will make users feel the 2000’s era on their hands. This year, the company is working on a new flip phone dubbed Samsung W21 5G. As the name spoils, it will boast 5G capabilities.

Today, the W21 5G made its way through the Wi-Fi Alliance authority bearing model number SM-W2021. As the name suggests it’s a direct successor for the last year’s Samsung W20 the first clamshell phone with 5G capabilities. According to the certificate, the new handset boasts dual-band capabilities supporting both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks. Moreover, the listing also confirms the firmware version as W2021.011 and the phone unsurprisingly runs on Android 10. Other features are Wi-Fi 6 network support which surely is a plus and Wi-Fi direct feature. Unfortunately, details about this handset are still scarce right now. Samsung will probably give more info on the coming months as we assume that this is a phone for the Q4 2020.
