Nokia 2720 Flip Phone — A throwback
While major smartphone brands are busy releasing foldable phones, HMD Global is releasing its take that dates back to 2009. Nokia 2720 is a flip phone that features two screens — one main display and an OLED for notifications. Unlike the old days, you don’t have to flip the phone open just to answer a call. The keypad is your oldie T9 pal with five more dedicated buttons for answer, drop, menu, back, and confirm.
Nokia 2720 runs on KaiOS, so it has the very basic functions of a smartphone such as YouTube, Facebook, and Google Maps. It even supports Google Assistant, audio jack, and a 2MP rear camera. That said, its mobile connectivity supports 4G LTE as well as Wi-Fi b/g/n functionality.
