The folding smartphone that showed up at the recent National Exhibition of IT Successes has been identified.
Commenting on a Reddit post, a user pointed to a video recorded at the IFA trade show that took place in Berlin in early September. The same phone was on display at the booth of Doogee, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer, with Madusan branding on the case and company representatives confirmed to the video reporter that the phone is for the North Korean market.
