Samsung today announced the release of the Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro, a limited-edition phone that commemorates the company’s 20-year legacy of innovation in foldable phones. The Z Flip5 Retro is inspired by the SGH-E700, Samsung’s first flip phone with a built-in antenna, which was released in 2003.

The Flip5 Retro features a retro design with Indigo blue and silver colors, reminiscent of the E7000. It also comes with some nostalgic pixel graphics UI tweaks and a cityscape animation on its Flex Window cover screen.

Samsung has also gone the extra mile with the packaging for the Flip5 Retro. The phone will ship in a box with logos of both the Z Flip5 and the E700, as well as Flipsuit cards with stickers featuring the various Samsung logos from past eras. The package will also include a Samsung E700 collector card engraved with a unique serial number.

Despite its retro design, the Z Flip5 Retro has the same high-end specs as the regular Z Flip5. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has a triple-lens rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10MP telephoto sensor.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro will be available in limited quantities in South Korea from November 1, and in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Australia from November 2. Pricing details are not provided yet.
