Hi, I really want to switch up to a flip phone bc my phone is literally eating my life out. I am super addicted to it and can't really stop. I've tried app blockers and found a really good one (Opal) but the accessibility option keeps getting turned off by my phone and I don't have the patience everyday to turn it on, to restart the app again and so on.

But I want a flip phone that can still have apps like whatsapp, yt and maybe even pinterest (i am an artist so i really need this one). I've seen that the ones that can support this type of apps are kind of too performant for me, (big screen, you can scroll etc.) and I would like smth at the limit between performance and utility (=meaning no apps, just calls and sms).

I don't want to isolate myself THAT much from media bc all of my contacts and info that i need are on apps like whatsapp.

So my question is: Are there any phones that can support apps like these, but have a small screen, maybe a small/medium storage limit and are less addicting overall?

Also, I would like some accessible models, not like some discontinued model from 2007 japan.

EDIT: i want one that can have bluetooth connection too

Same as title , also if somebody got a 2nd hand willing to sell in india under 2k im willing to buy

Hallo Zusammen,

ich benutze im Moment ein Iphone 15 pro und wollte jetzt im Sommer zum Samsung Flip 8 wechseln, da ich die Software super finde und auch ein kompaktes und zeitgleich ein großes Handy will. Nun sind ja die Specs alle geleaked des Flip 8 und es tut sich nix in Sachen Akkugröße und Schnellladen. Ich denke erst im Flip 9 im nächsten Jahr werden neue Änderungen bzw. Upgrades kommen. Was soll ich nun tun? Mir trotzdem das Flip 8 holen im Sommer oder übergangsweise ein normales S26 etc. holen? Ich muss wechseln da mein Speicher Handy nicht mehr reicht mit 128 GB.

Danke für eure Gedanken ;o)

I built a simple tool called https://www.TextMeMyWeatherDaily.com because I was tired of forgetting to check the weather before leaving the house.

I’ve had about 60+ people sign up so far, but I’m curious if this is a "me problem" or something a wider audience actually wants?

All I need is offline maps, SD card support, Telegram X, and maybe Google or any modern browser. I also need it to be on Android 8 or 10. The price tag isn't a big issue and I'm already looking at the A202kc. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Guys i need a phone! can someone please help me??? It's my birth month rn and i'm getting a bit older, so I REALLY need one! FYI, it has to be a smartphone because i need a phone to fit in and not feel out of place + plus my friends and classmates like to communicate through social media/social chatting (think discord, pinterest, etc.) also then it's easier to make it cute through apps like widgetopia or download cute games like neko atsume

Criteria (for best case scenario)

• REALLY cheap <-- (MOST IMPORTANT requirement)
• HAS to be a smart phone
• preferably cute, no dark colors (if not, i'll just decorate it)

Sorry for yapping... ANY HELP IS MOST APPRECIATED!!!

I’m trying to decide between three phones and would love to hear your opinions!

AQUOS 601SH

Kyocera KYF31

ALT MIVE (a flip-style smartphone)

For the first one, I really love the design. The one-touch opening reminds me of the flip phones I admired when I was younger, and I feel like just owning it would make me excited.

For the second one, I found an unused pink × brown model on a flea market site. The color is super cute, and while it doesn’t have one-touch opening, it’s one of the few stylish flip phones that still works today.

The third one is a flip-style smartphone. It seems more practical since it supports LINE and PayPay, and it’s also reasonably priced.

My concerns:

For the first phone, I’m not a SoftBank or Y!mobile user, so I’d need to change my SIM card.

For the second, I currently use an au network SIM, so it might work—but I’m not sure about compatibility. I might still need to change SIMs, which is a hassle.

For both 1 and 2, LINE is no longer supported on these types of phones, so I’d need to carry a separate smartphone anyway. Also, the Android versions are quite old.

For the third, I’m currently an iPhone user, so switching devices might be a bit inconvenient.

Other notes:

I can switch from Mobile Suica to a physical card, so that’s not a big issue.

I don’t use music apps anymore.

I do have an iPad, so I’m thinking I might be able to manage things with that.

What would you choose in my situation, and why?

hey, i’m looking at this phone model. does anyone know if the nokia 2720/ barbie hmd (they are essentially the same device? ) is compatible with AT&T in the US. the last post regarding this topic was from 4 years ago, so i figured some things might’ve changed.

I bought a Verizon Kyocera phone thinking since it ran android that I’d be able to add it to google family link, but I guess it is doesn’t have google play services.

So, the type of flip phone im looking for is something that can run apps like facebook and messenger (which is crucial to me because i need it for school). It also has to be 4g because 3g is shutting down in my country.. (also carrier unlocked)

Any recommendations?

i just got my sharp aquos 602sh off ebay and put my sim card in it (only my sim) and its not getting any signal? does anyone know what i can do to give it signal? i live in windsor canada and im with rogers. i wanna get my line to work and i see this softbank notification in japanese pop up a lot too.

Hi! I'm calling on users of this model. I want to buy this phone, but I'm worried I won't be able to use wired headphones. Can anyone explain if there's a solution? :)
