Foldable cell phones are all the rage and there are options for all budgets. Check out some models!
With the return of the 2000s aesthetic in different aspects, a “new” trend arrived with everything: the return of foldable cell phones, or Flip cell phones. It is a “new” trend, in quotation marks, because these cell phones were a total success in the 2000s, when owning one of them was a sign of status. One example was the Motorola V3 cell phone, which became a craze, especially in the pink color.
With this return of the trend, many brands are investing in this type of device, including Motorola itself, which was a specialist in the model. Samsung was not left behind either and recently launched two new devices, such as the Galaxy Z Flip, which despite maintaining the foldable aesthetic, arrived on the market with many new features and is very different from the old models, since today the reality is very different and much more technological.
One thing that has also changed a lot is the price. Currently, Samsung's top-of-the-line model costs around R$1,000, with prices varying depending on the store. But of course, for those who want a simple, retro-style foldable phone, without caring too much about the specifications, they can go for the Nokia 2660 Flip, which can be found for around R$1,317.
