If you’re seriously considering buying a feature phone like the Nokia 2720 Flip in 2019 then I think you’re likely to be one of three kinds of people. Either you live or work in the developing world, where smartphones sometimes aren’t a practical option, you’re the kind of person who thrives on nostalgia for a simpler time, or else you’re trying to do a “digital detox,” and decrease the amount of time you seem to waste staring at screens every day.

It’s these latter two groups that HMD has been pitching its retro-styled feature phones at for a couple of years now. Two years ago it produced an updated version of the iconic 3310, and lastest update it remade the 8110, the “banana phone” similar to the model used in the original Matrix movie.

The difference with this year’s £89.99 Nokia 2720 Flip is that, for the first time, it actually has most of the apps and services you need in a phone in 2019. Yes, you’ll be accessing them on an absolutely tiny 2.8-inch display and typing into them with a basic T9 keyboard, but fundamentally you won’t be cut out of your WhatsApp conversations, you won’t have to be without email, and you won’t even have to go without Google Maps. They’re all technically here.

But the thing is, you’d have to have the patience of a saint to actually use these services on a device as limited as this. Maps and emails take forever to load, and WhatsApp messages take an age to manually type out. You might not be fully cut off from the modern world, but the limited hardware these apps are running on means that, for all intents and purposes, you basically are.

OUR REVIEW OFNOKIA 2720 FLIP

GOOD STUFF
Neat design
Compatible with WhatsApp and many Google apps
Multiday battery life

BAD STUFF
Typing on a T9 keyboard is worse than you remember
Struggles to multitask
It really is a feature phone

It’s a little hard to review a feature phone like the Nokia 2720 Flip, because it’s so obviously not trying to compete with any smartphone on the market. It’s got a tiny screen with a resolution of just 240 x 320, a 2-megapixel camera (there’s no selfie camera), a dual-core 1.1GHz CPU, and just 512MB of internal storage. It can connect to both 4G LTE networks and Wi-Fi, and it’s got Bluetooth for connecting to your wireless headphones.

Is it Android based OS? Else it's just another refined Nokia torch


Does it have hotspot too?
