Isn't that phone with two batteries a bit telling of an opportunity here? Now that dual battery support is a highly convenient feature, flip-smartphones can be a thing in the western world too. No more relying on 200$ shipping for a Samsung Galaxy Golden lol.

High end flip phones are a wet dream for many in the western world. I'd imagine these would pique the interests of many older adults looking for best of both worlds.
