Flip phones are making a major comeback, combining nostalgia with cutting-edge technology. Unlike traditional foldable phones, flip phones offer a more compact design while still providing a large screen when unfolded. They’re stylish, convenient, and often more affordable than book-style foldables.
Flip phone is an excellent choice for users who want portability without sacrificing performance. In the Philippine market, the latest contenders—the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6, OPPO Find N3 Flip, and TECNO Phantom V Flip2—each bring unique strengths to the table. Here’s a closer look at what they offer.
