After all, why else would it launch two new clamshells in a matter of weeks? Today, the tech giant debuted (http://t.co/xvBoEPqUmD) the Galaxy Golden, which is strikingly similar to the Folder that leaked (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/04/samsung-galaxy-folder-live-photos/) under an almost identical model number just prior to the Hennessey's official arrival (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/14/samsung-hennessy-official-dual-screen-flip-phone/). The Golden sports dual 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screens, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, a 1.7GHz dual-core processor and an 8MP camera. There's a slew of features aimed at older folks too, like an "easy mode" that can optimize the home screen, a pedometer that works with S Health (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/02/samsung-launches-s-health-app/), a business card recognition function and even an FM radio. Koreans in their golden years with a spare 790,000 won (if Google Translate is to be trusted), or just over $700, might appreciate these tailored features, as they'll probably be on-board with the aging form factor, too.
