Flip Phones

Flip phones are a type of mobile phone characterized by their clamshell design, which allows the device to fold in half. This design typically features two separate sections: one for the display and the other for the keypad. When closed, the phone is compact and offers protection for the screen and keyboard. Flip phones were particularly popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s due to their portability and ease of use. They often have physical buttons for dialing and texting, in contrast to touchscreen smartphones. While they have largely been overshadowed by smartphones, flip phones have seen a resurgence in recent years, appealing to users who prefer simplicity, longer battery life, and reduced distractions. Some modern flip phones also incorporate features such as internet connectivity and basic app functionality, blending traditional design with modern technology.
