The Nokia 2720 Flip is a Nokia-branded flip phone developed by HMD Global as part of the Nokia Originals line. It was unveiled at IFA 2019 (along with Nokia 110 (2019), Nokia 800 Tough, Nokia 6.2, and Nokia 7.2) [2] and was created as an updated version of the Nokia 2720 Fold, which debuted in 2009. [3] [4] The 2720 Flip runs the KaiOS operating system and supports 4G LTE networks.

Target audience

According to a 2019 article from The Verge , "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". [5] This fits in with the general trend of modern flip-phones being seen as a less-harmful alternative to cell phones. [6]

Software

The Nokia 2720 Flip runs on the web-based operating system KaiOS. [7] It runs many more modern apps including, but not limited to, WhatsApp, Facebook, Google Assistant and YouTube. [8]

Reception

In February 2020, the Nokia 2720 Flip received an iF Design Award 2020 by iF International Forum Design. [9] [10]

Variants and derivates

The Nokia 2720 V Flip is a Verizon specific model that otherwise has same specifications as the global 2720 Flip. It was released in May 2021. [11] [12]

Nokia 2760 Flip is a US-exclusive flip phone released in 2022. [13] [14] It takes its name also from an older Nokia phone, the Nokia 2760. Compared to the 2720 Flip, the 2760 Flip has a revised design and runs the newer KaiOS 3.x OS and an upgraded USB-C port, but lacks a microSD slot and FM radio. Nokia 2780 Flip is another model released in 2022 that does include both the card slot and the radio. HMD have also released another Nokia flip phone similar in design to the 2760/2780, called the Nokia 2660 Flip, which is built on a Unisoc chip instead and runs Series 30+. [15] Both of these have also been turned into variants of the HMD Barbie Phone.
