BACK TO THE FUTURE?

Samsung flip phone looks like it came straight out of the noughties… but it will be tough to get your hands on one

IT was the must-have gadget for teens during the dawn of the new millennium.

And now Samsung is bringing the flip phone back.

It's created a shiny black premium version of the retro phone which boasts two screens and a keypad with actual buttons- just like the good old days.

The "Leader 8" boasts two screens and a 12MP rear-facing camera along with a fingerprint sensor.

It follows mass hype surrounding the relaunch of the 90s classic, the Nokia 3310.

But unfortunately for us Brits, the Samsung blower will only go on sale in China, for now.

There's no official word on when it will launch in the UK.

But it's likely that the handsets will be up for grabs online sometime soon if you're willing to pay the worldwide shipping.

Samsung hasn't confirmed how much it will cost.

It's currently gearing up for the Note 8 launch and is hoping to trump Apple's next iPhone.

The Korean phone maker was forced to pull its Note 7 gadgets after their batteries began exploding.

All eyes will be on its predecessor, but from what we've seen so far, it looks like it could be a corker.

It might even take you selfies into another dimension – this new leaked photo suggests.

It's due to be unveiled on August 23.
