Both Samsung and Motorola have new flip phones, a style which still remains very popular indeed.
In fact, both are using the folding screen, a technology which hasn't proved very reliable.
Would you buy one?

It's still too early for me to jump on board with this. I want that crease gone when the screen is extended. However, the Samsung model is now available in Argentina for 130,000.

in Germany the phone that Flip was called "Türken Klappe"...
Because it was nearly only Turkish people that used that typical Motorola style phone hahaha....
Was a really no go for a German to buy one....
I'll pass!!!

@JAN , why did the Turks buy flip phones? Cheaper? Or were they onto something?

Rice ....no idea why it was like that......but I think it had to do with that they found them very fancy, very futuristic....I also don't understand their need for mixing gold/silver taps in the bathroom just like many Arabs do hahaha
In USA I think flip phones was generally popular, because it was Motorola, but in Europe it was never really popular because u had the even better Nokia, Ericsson etc phones.
So basically only Turks would have flip phones.....

That’s so funny. My mother got a flip phone when she was 80 because it disconnected calls when she folded them, preventing the embarrassment of forgetting to hang up after a call, allowing the other person to continue hearing....

I still have several of these.

I correct myself a bit: the flip phones was also used a bit by women.....but not a lot!!!! But again: the cell phone types used in USA vs Europe was totally distinct back in the times of the flip phone........because that Motorola was predominant on the USA market and Nokia/Ericsson on the European!

At that time, I had a wonderful, tiny Nokia, which I had for years. Before Apple convinced the world that we had to have a new phone every year or two, keeping the same phone didn’t make one a Luddite.
Because texting was just beginning to emerge, and we used cameras instead of phones for photography, phones could be small enough to fit in a pocket without falling out.
I couldn’t live without my iPhone, but at times I’m still a bit wistful about my little old Nokia, which I still keep, out of nostalgia. -
