Clamshell phones are still alive and well in China and TENAA revealed that Samsung is ready to release the next model - likely the Samsung W2018, though known only by its SM-G9298 model number for now.
The W2018 clamshell features two Super AMOLED screens - 4.2†1080p each. It’s an upgrade over the W2017 model, though not a huge one as it has a Snapdragon 821AB chipset (up from S820), identical memory (4GB of RAM, 64GB storage) and hasn’t even updated the OS - an old Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The phone is fairly thick and heavy, 15.9mm and 234g. Despite that bulk, you’re not getting much battery, just 2,300mAh (same as the previous model). Maybe there’s a reason clamshells didn’t survive the transition to the smartphone era.
Anyway, that’s about all that TENAA revealed - that and a 12MP main camera (1080p video) plus a 5MP selfie cam. There’s no price or launch date yet, though we’re pretty sure this model will never leave China... probably.
