HMD's New Flip Phone Has USB-C and a Headphone Jack

HMD launches the new flip phone HMD 2660 Flip, equipped with dual screens and simple features to meet basic communication needs.

This phone has a relatively basic configuration: 0.3MP camera, MediaTek T107 processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB storage space, and the S30 operating system, which is not suitable for high-intensity use.

HMD 2660 Flip supports 4G networks and offers connectivity options such as Bluetooth 5.0 and USB Type-C, as well as a replaceable battery.

In an era when foldable phones are prevalent, the concept of flip phones has returned to sight, but this new HMD product is designed to return to the essence of a phone.

HMD, Nokia phone manufacturer, has launched this new flip phone, HMD 2660 Flip. It has two screens: a 2.8-inch QVGA home screen, suitable for basic operations such as checking contacts, messages and call history; a 1.77-inch QQVGA secondary screen (located outside the flip), displaying time and incoming calls or message prompts.

The phone is equipped with a 0.3-megapixel rear camera and LED flash to meet basic photography needs (limited image quality). It is equipped with a MediaTek T107 processor, 64MB RAM and 128MB of internal storage (supporting up to 32GB microSD card expansion), and runs the S30 operating system of HMD.

HMD's recently released Barbie phones and other products are equipped with KaiOS systems. We hope to see this system on more HMD feature phones in the future. The S30 system means that this phone is mainly used for calls and text messages, with limited functionality unless pre-installed applications. Although KaiOS cannot upgrade it to the smartphone level, its relatively complete application ecosystem (including modern applications such as WhatsApp) can provide a better user experience. Although applications such as Instagram cannot be used, information exchange can still be conducted through modern platforms.

It supports 4G networks despite simplified functionality. Connection options include Bluetooth 5.0 (for connecting wireless accessories), a 3.5mm headphone jack (for traditional wired audio), and a USB Type-C interface (for charging and data transfer). HMD also comes with a replaceable 1450mAh battery for this flip phone. Although the capacity is not as good as a smartphone, it should be sufficient to use given its low power consumption needs. HMD claims that the call time can be up to 8.1 hours under a single card 4G network. The replaceable battery design also makes it easy for users to carry backup batteries.

HMD 2660 Flip is not designed to compete with modern smartphones, but is positioned as a "digital detox" phone that meets users' basic needs such as calling and texting. It is also suitable for elderly or children who are not used to using smartphones to avoid premature access to the Internet.

It is not clear whether this phone will be available in the United States, but you can follow the official HMD website to learn about its sales information.
