THANKS TO THE SAMSUNG GALAXY Z SERIES, FOLDABLE PHONES HAVE FLIPPED BACK INTO POPULARITY.
Do you remember the flip phones in the early ‘00s? Flip phones have always been a covetable status symbol. In the relatively brief history of mobile phones, the clamshell design was the ultimate fashion accessory when it first hit the market in the late 90s, and flip phones came to the fore in the decade that followed. Even though flip phones left the market after smartphones were introduced around 2008, people still feel a deep sense of nostalgia for them. That may be why, after so many years, flip phones have flipped back into popularity with the combination of the old nostalgic design and modern technology.
The design process was too complicated to bring out a foldable smartphone. Until recently, that is. At the start of this decade, Samsung has been reigniting people’s passion for flip phones with compact and lighter designs, touch screen displays, and advanced features. While old smartphones have a screen on the top and a keyboard on the bottom, the new models have bendable glass displays. You get a sleek and modern phone that gives you the same satisfaction of flipping it shut when you end a call as in the older models. With a sturdy build, flip function, compatibility and variations in design, phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 are very much in demand.
