Here’s a new Samsung phone! This is the Double Folder OZ handset! It features file viewer capability, a 3 megapixel camera, a 2.8-inch LCD display and a double-joint. Yeah they call it the OZ Double Folder Phone, and it has been designed to improve the way you watch TV via DMB or compressed videos on your phone. You can do all that with any other smartphone you will say. But does your smartphone rotate two ways? Or should I better say fold two ways? I don’t think so! That double joint rotation mechanism turns your phone in either a clamshell phone or a mini-netbook. You choose!

Unfortunately it’s only available in Korea for an estimated retail price of $395. Stay tuned to be the first to find out when it’ll go global.

LG’s OZ Lite phone is a sleek clam shell phone that conceals a 5.1-megapixel Casio W53CA camera, complete with “28-mm lens, color correction, 9-point auto focus, and built-in anti-shake technology bunged into the backside. The LCD measures 2.8-inches yet still manages the same 800 x 480 pixel resolution for DMB television and landscape or portrait web browsing. Inside the little 18.9-mm thin handset you’ll find 4GB NAND / 1GB SDRAM and microSD expansion for all your snaps and VGA / 30fps video

The LG OZ Lite will be available next month in select 3G/CDMA markets worldwide.
