LG Wine Smart: Android Flip Phone

In a world dominated by slabs of touchscreen smartphones, it is refreshing to see a manufacturer launch a phone in a different form factor. Take LG as an example after its release of the flip phone/clamshell phone called Wine Smart. It is not a feature phone but a full-fledged Android Lollipop-powered smartphone. It is basically a rebranded LG Gentle, which is available only in Korea, and aims to satisfy the longing of nostalgic users for flip phones.
