Flip phones have the perfect form factor for
telephony. Open them to answer a call, close them to end it – you can even slam
it shut. Also, when it’s open, the form of the phone conforms to your face. The Nokia 2720 Flip brings back
those old comforts but combines them with new tricks. It’s a KaiOS phone with a
2.8” internal screen (QVGA) and 1.3” external display for checking
notifications.
You’ll be getting messages on WhatsApp and Facebook
and you can type up replies the T9 way using the large keys of the keypad.
Google Maps is on board as well (with a GPS+GLONASS receiver) and you can grab
more apps from the Kai app store.
The Nokia 2720 Flip features LTE connectivity
(150/50Mbps) and can create a Wi-Fi hotspot or connect to existing Wi-Fi
networks (with b/g/n support). There are single and dual SIM versions of the
phone. Like its Tough sibling, the Flip features a basic 2MP camera with
flash. It has 4GB of storage and you can have more with a microSD card. There’s
a 3.5mm headphone jack or you can use Bluetooth 4 with A2DP.
The Nokia 2720 Flip will be available in September
for € 90 in Black and Grey.
