Hey everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well. I’m currently in the market for a new phone and I’m leaning towards getting a flip phone for a change. I appreciate the simplicity and nostalgia they offer, but I’m a bit out of the loop when it comes to the best options available these days.
I wanted to reach out to this knowledgeable community and ask for your recommendations. Which flip phone do you think is the best to buy right now? I’m looking for a good balance between modern features and the classic flip design.
I’ve heard about models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Motorola Razr, and Nokia 2720 Flip, but I’d love to hear from those who have hands-on experience with these phones or any other suggestions you might have.
If you could share your insights, pros and cons, and any personal experiences you’ve had with flip phones, I’d greatly appreciate it. Your input will be incredibly helpful for me in making an informed decision.
Thank you in advance for your help! Looking forward to your recommendations and advice.
As an owner of a z flip 3, just be aware of short battery life. If u travel a lot or don’t expect to charge everyday (sometimes twice as a heavy user) it will annoy you fast.
Otherwise, samsung offers good value/durability. But if I had to choose right this moment I’d go motorla razr plus
My z flip 3 is a day one model, it lived up well, no screendamage, few screen protector replacements and it hasn’t been babied. I drop.my phone atleast once a week as i’m an iT engineer and use the flashlight a lot.
I love the fact its small in my pocket, fold in half so I can watch videos without stand or on its side it stays put. And the selfie cam.tripod is neat, and the fact I can direct the flashlight to where I need it is also why I love it.
Battery should be better, coverscreen is moderatly usefull but wondering if it was bigger if i’d use it more.
Overal, great phone if u know what u get. Otherwise slab phones are better for most.
I’ve had a Fold 3 and now a Fold 4. The 4s have much better and more efficient chips compared to the 3, and the 5s are better still. I think the battery story has improved quite a bit compared to the phone you have. You should consider upgrading to a 5 if you’re in the US btw. With trade in it is almost free.
I’ve had a Flip 4 since launch, and the screen doesn’t open all the way through. It wasn’t used a lot, it mostly remained home on my desk mat and it just stopped opening all the way through. Sure, it could be that a piece of dirt might have got in, but please be aware of such cases. The country I’m in doesn’t even have a lot of repair options.
