From the Motorola Razr to the LG Vx9900, flip phones were the must-have handheld devices of the early 2000s.
Now, Samsung has launched a modern spin on the flip phone, in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.
The smartphone features a foldable glass screen that can be opened to multiple angles, meaning the device can be fully extended, folded in half, or sat upright like a mini laptop.
In this position, a feature known as Flex Mode is activated, which splits the display into two four-inch screens to view content on the top half of the display, and control from the bottom.
On the outer case, the Flip has a dual rear camera system comprising two 12-megapixel lenses.
Users can also take selfies with this camera when the Flip is closed, even using the small cover screen as a viewfinder for the photo.
Unfolded, the Flip also has a 10-megapixel selfie camera built into the flexible screen.
The Flip houses a 3,300mAh battery, and supports wireless charging capabilities. It also features fingerprint and facial recognition sensors.
While the smartphone is pretty futuristic, many fans have drawn comparisons to a rather retro device - the Gameboy Advance SP.
The Nintendo gaming console first launched back in 2003, and like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, had a folding design - albeit without a foldable screen.
One user tweeted: “The new Samsung flip phone reminds me of a Gameboy advanced SP and that's like 75% of the reason I want it.”
Another wrote: “This samsung flip phone looks like a gameboy and I'm very much here for it.”
And one joked: “First thing I'm doing when I get the new samsung flip phone is to download a gameboy emulator.”
The Galaxy Z Flip will go on sale in the UK on February 14, costing £1,300.
