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.

    I have the razr 40 ultra and I positively love it. It makes so good use of the cover display. You can use the cover display almost exactly as you would the bigger one. Sort of like a physical one handed mode. A lot of people say it’s useless for the cover display to encircle the cameras, but I disagree. Most apps use a bottom navigation layout. Those UI elements can be hidden behind the cameras, making better use of the smaller cover display. There’s a great shortcut to show the bottom part of the screen, when needed. And when you need the larger display, the transition between the cover and main display, and vice versa, is almost flawless.

    I’m not really a power user, not any more, but battery is no issue for me. I generally have between 30-50% battery at the end of the day. I don’t use any wireless charging during the day, as my work doesn’t allow it.

    I don’t care about the cameras and don’t really know it they’re good or not. It can take pictures, which is everything I need it to do.

    It is, by far, my favourite phone of all time.
