      @@Ours89 Also depending on what country you live, not every phone has the same connection capabilities. There are many channels around the world for phones and most areas don't support all of them. Every phone is limited to the channels that the hardware allows it to connect to. That is why different phones have regional versions and why phones made in Asia usually can't be used in the US unless the specify that it can.

    I switched to an iPhone 11 after using this for more than 6 months. I will say you become really patient, your screen time reduce tremendously and... it's aesthetically adorable. For what it is, it's worth it if it makes you happy. On the long run... you might struggle a little when you really need your phone to run fast for something important. Nonetheless, it was a very happy period for me and I enjoyed it very much. Hope you're enjoying the experience so far!
    Edit: This model is called the Samsung Galaxy Folder 2.
    This is NOT the Z Flip Flagship phone series. To those spreading misinformation stop it.

      This was the main reason that I switched to a flip phone! Majorly decreased screen time, and the joy of using something cute when I was sending a text or taking a call; I totally recommend the switch. But, I also really agree - I still use my old iphone for Google Maps because the flip phone is NOT cutting it lmao, and I recently had an internship that required smart phone functionality for some of our IT infrastructure, and once again, the flip was not delivering. I think that the new samsung flip is a nice compromise for both functionality and lifestyle purposes, but that price tag is disgusting.

    I am still praying that flip phones and normal keypad phones make a comeback. It took me years to decide to get my first smartphone just because I never really liked how they looked and because I loved my Motorola Flip at this time. I know that in Korea a few Android Flips got released, which looked really cool, but were never really available here in the West. :(
    I felt quite nostalgic watching this.

      The reason that (at least until recently) flip phones are still a thing in Asia is because the physical keyboard makes it easier to type in characters. Not sure about Korean specifically since iirc Hangul is just a type of alphabet but Japanese is much easier to write on a physical keyboard

    I was always obsessed with old school Japanese Keitai flip phones. I had one in Highschool (DOCOMO Sharp SH-10C lol I can' believe I still remember the name) and it had a lot of limitations but it was still one of my favorite phones ever. To this day I don't think any of my other phones had a better camera. I got another Keitai a few years ago, it was a smartphone hybrid very much like this one but the screen could flip around and fold back down so you could also use it as a regular smart phone (FREETEL Musashi was the make and model). Now I own the Flip 3 lol. I hope someday Samsung will bring these back!!

    omg this was recommended in my page and honestly i get so many nostalgic memories about this phone. back then there's no touchscreen in the flip phones so you have to use the keypads really well. some phones have protective covers since the letters could fade out.
    texting using this phone is also easy! you can type out any messages without looking as long as you memorize where the letters and punctuations are and how many taps you need to insert the letters. i hope you have fun using it! ❤

      I have it! It's not an android (KaiOS) so it has its own apps for things like UA-cam and twitter/facebook.
      The very fun thing with the KaiOS is that instead of figuring out how to make apps work, they basically build a very good browser, and asked everyone to just make html-pages instead of an apps.
      So apps there are like sites that are fully saved on your phone.
      All the functions, that dont require connections, will work without one, and building your own apps for it was very easy, since writing sites is way easier then writing android/apple apps that require of your a lot of knowledge of an android/apple systems (and can quite working on you after android/Apple updates) (this moment is kinda fixed nowdays, after pwa implementation)
      It's a shame that they restricted developer mode quite tightly in some of the OS updates.
      Im kinda paranoid with my data leaking everywhere and don't enjoy the way that modern smartphones OS is forcing you to share a lot of data.
      So this model is just the best for me.
      I really hope that phones like this will stuck around

    All models can be extended with a memory card so buying a 16GB is okay cause you can expand to 128GB, which is what I did.
    I was a teen to young adult in the 2000s and I mostly had Sony Ericsson with T9 keypads and never had a flip phone but my dad had many so I occasionally used his. I moved on to the blackberry and eventually android. If this phone was available in the west I would totally use it, I still kept almost all my old phones as well cause I'm a lover of old tech.
    I picked up this phone on ebay and I adore it after obsessing over Japanese keitai flip phones for years, even getting into cellphone novels (RIP TextNovel) but bummed out they wouldn't work in the west but I discovered this phone and the LG wine and was deciding if to buy it but suddenly the price shot up. I discovered it was a trend amongst Gen Z so I bit the bullet and bought it before the price got too insane, it reminds me my old Samsung Galaxy S3. The removable battery, radio app etc. It really does bring back such memories. Makes me happy.

  • @curiouscat428
    @curiouscat428 Рік тому +1

    I contemplated on this last week, and a few Japanese brands too. But in the end, I strangely decided on the very retro, very hard to find Ericsson R310 (known as ericsson shark on its heyday).
    Idk why honestly. I had been eyeing flip phones for the longest time but something always held me back from purchasing one. But for that legendary vintage piece, I bought it very expensive online (wayy more expensive than these flip phones) and instantly felt right, it's the secondary backup I would trust as reliable. Even if it can only do basic calls and texts. This older phones got the strongest signal while modern phones fails, have this untraceable property for some, water resistant and anti break, and is beloved of those outdoor lovers and adventurers in its heyday. Got it in green/tosca, in a VERY hard to find mode. I'm very pleased about it.
    Now, I just watch flip phone videos to entertain myself but I don't want it anymore 😅😊✋. If I want my latest technology, I'll just use my regular smartphone(s). But if I want to dream up outdoor adventures, then I have my vintage piece. Maybe I'll collect some more retro phones, dream up of starting a business with the olden days' old ways (backed up with the smartphone, of course), and watch it become reality coz I love role playing. I might take that R130 to travel to Egypt also. Gotta test the signal strength in the middle of the dessert, up on a camel's back 💚.
    Flip phones make me dream too. But about Japanese doramas. And it gets pretty boring. I studied in Tokyo and absolutely hated it, very depressing. And these phones reminded me of my days there.
    Just sharing, cheers.
    Edit: It used to be cool when I wasn't around in this world. But now it's called garakeis or garaho, short for galapagos phones, easy phone or dumb phone. And those who uses it was because the plan for smartphones is expensive (in Japan). And because of this, it just hits different rather than if I were to use it on its golden days. That's why I opted not to use it.
