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’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.
