Flip Phone

A flip phone is a type of mobile phone that has a hinged design allowing the device to open and close along a vertical axis. When closed, the phone's two halves protect the screen and keypad, making it compact and portable. The act of flipping the phone open typically answers a call, while closing it often ends the call. Flip phones generally feature physical buttons instead of touch screens and are known for their simplicity, often offering basic functions such as calling and texting, but limited internet capabilities and apps compared to smartphones. They are sometimes preferred for their durability, long battery life, and ease of use, especially among users who prioritize straightforward communication without the distractions of modern smartphones.
