I guess Adele used a flip phone in her "Hello" video so she could call the 90s and let Lionel Richie know she was ripping him off.

Whereas she might have taken a bit of stick, it appears she may have been ahead of everyone – with a report now claiming that Samsung are set to launch a new flip phone.
Sammobile claims that this leaked image of the new Samsung W2016 shows that it will indeed be a flip phone, which bears a resemblance to the Galaxy S6.

The move is an unusual one that will delight fans of the 90s. What next? The return of popper pants?
