Less is more

Today, when the smartphone’s era is growing. The flip phone seems to have been forgotten for a long time. But in fact, there are still many people who love and believe in using them. What about you? Are you or your family member or friend one of the countless consumers loyal to this phone?

Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 (W2018)

Buyers in search of a smartphone in a flip-phone body should look no further than the Samsung Galaxy Folder 2. It is one of the few flip phones that runs Android. The phone comes unlocked to work on most GSM carriers — but note that it’s incompatible with AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.

The device is equipped with a touch screen (which is a rarity among flip phones), and has the Google Play app store on board, meaning you can download popular apps like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

Our only complaint about the phone is that its single speaker is on the back of the phone. We would have liked to see dual front-facing speakers to improve overall sound quality. Regardless, if you want one of the most powerful and feature-filled smart flip phones, this Samsung is your best option.
