Samsung Wave Y LaFleur Edition

February 4th, 2012 Hornet

It seemed that Samsung has forgotten all about its LaFleur lineup of female-targeted phones, but as it turns out they were simply flying under the radar. We just stumbled upon a LaFleur edition of the Samsung Wave Y that is already on sale, but we have never seen before.

The Samsung Wave Y S5380 LaFleur surfaced on a Ukrainian online store’s website and it costs just $165. Judging by the specs on the handset’s listing page, there are no functional differences between the LaFleur and the original version.

Still, the nicely decorated purple back and the accents on the front will probably be enough to win the Wave Y LaFleur plenty of fans among the ladies, and with Valentine’s day just around the corner that might work out quite well for Samsung.

Unfortunately, there’s no official information about the Samsung Wave Y LaFleur availability outside Ukraine.
