HMD Global has launched its latest flip phone, but not as a folding screen flagship, but as a feature phone. The Nokia 2780 Flip comes with a good old-fashioned flip cover design, support for the T9 keyboard, and no touch screen.
The phone has a 2.7-inch TFT main display inside and a 1.77-inch secondary display outside. The flip also supports a 5-megapixel camera with a fixed focal length and LED flash.
The Nokia 2780 Flip is powered by a Qualcomm 215 chip with a 1.3 GHz quad-core CPU and X5 LTE modem with a peak downlink speed of 150Mbps.
The phone does support VoLTE and RTT – Real-Time Texting – which allows messages to be sent during a call.
The official website shows that the phone comes with 512MB of internal storage and 4GB of RAM (probably the wrong parameter on the website here, expect 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage), runs KaiOS 3.1, and other features include FM radio broadcast and MP3 support, as well as Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n support.
The Nokia 2780 Flip also packs a 1450mAh removable battery, which is very rare these days.
The Nokia 2780 Flip sounds a lot like the Nokia 2760 Flip, but the main distinguishing changes are FM radio support on the former, and two different colors — red and blue. The Nokia 2780 Flip is priced at $90 (about RMB 657) and will go on sale in the US on November 15.
