back to article Samsung reveals Batphone!

Holy baffling branding, Batman! Samsung's released a Batman-themed phone called the Galaxy S7 edge Injustice Edition. The tie-in's a promotion for a game called "Injustice: Gods Among Us", but the effort is not half-hearted. As the video below shows, the Batphone comes in a special Batbox that conceals Batarang.

    Disappointed!

    I thought this was about the new folding display one, like a pair of wings with no body.

    The last folding display phone I saw was the eInk roll up model. Apart from the fake one on on 'Earth: Final Conflict'.

    There is also supposed to be a new model from someone that wraps on the wrist and opens to be a skinnier regular phone.

    Well, they haven't released it to their UK team yet... who apparently know nothing about it. *sigh* ... I'm on hold while they check their own announcement, which I've just given them.

    Honestly, you can't make this up.

    It looks like someone has told Samsung that top end smart phone market is going to be eaten by good enough cheap androids.

    Marketing has really gone full on in this one.

    Cool hardware, VR game and film tie in, collectors edition, style, wealth. all that missing is the beautiful babes, but that implied cause batman gets em.

    Its not going to work....

    I don't want....

    How much does it cost?

    Damn you Samsung!
