Nokia 2720 Flip - User Reviews

  • I've been using my Nokia 2720 for over a week now and I am really enjoying it. I am using it mainly to minimize my screen time as I am constantly on my smartphone. Switching to the 2720 to reduce that has worked well so far. The phone is featured enough to support all the social media sites I use (Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp) but it's clunky and slow enough that I don't want to spend too much time on it. For that, I think the Nokia 2720 has been worth it.

  • People who mainly use whatsapp are definitely not the target group. It is rather people who are looking for a small device that can do a bit of everything and has a simple operating system

  • Since the only reason to buy this phone is to use Whats App, I don't understand why a sane person you should buy a phone like this when are there euro 100 phones they do everything better without problem. Mysteries of the human mind.

  • Hahaha love it

  • i have been trying to order for the nokia in my country Nigeria is not available why .?

  • Is it laggy when it comes to typing messages?

  • How was the typing experience? Is it laggy like the previous 3310 new model? Im going to get one. But before i bought it i jusr want your opinion guys.

  • It takes time. WA is still in its beginning, just like KAIOS itself. In my version, live location is already possible and other features will certainly be developed

  • For everyone who is using this phone.. Does the phone have Whatsapp audio call functionality? The 8110 has Whatsapp but just the messaging feature, the call feature doesn't work with the 8110..

  • If you think you're gonna get a good experience with whatsapp on a kaiOS device, you're going to have a bad time. No calling, no live location, and no backup/restore. Face it, whatsapp is the major reason anyone has their eyes on these kaiOS feature phones. Don't waste your money.

  • No one can say ,if this phone,has call recording function ?

  • You could connect a dynamo to the folding mechanism and generate electricity ;)

  • Where can I even buy this? Amazon Spain won't sell it at a normal price as it's imported from Germany/UK. Yes. It has Whatsapp and Google Maps.

  • Sorry to say but you probably bought it for the wrong reasons then. It wont replace a smartphone if you use one all the time but if you dont and just want something portable with good battery life and features from smartphones people find themselves needing a lot such as maps, messaging apps, internet, then it fills that role hence the name feature phone. I think a lot of people will be getting one because of the retro, hipster appeal and might regret it but that's not the products fault.

  • For those users who have it do whatsapp works this phone?

  • I brought this phone 1 week ago and i'm already bored with it. You know its really annoying when have to constantly unfold the phone every time you need to use it.At first i thought using this retro phone would be fun..but now i realise i should've gone for the 800 tough instead.. At least it doesnt have a fold cover. And then the speaker which is utterly crap.So i always need to keep my Headphone with me.Build quality is not extraordinary but passable. Battery backup is good though.but i've decided to sell the device.And i will buy the 800 tough next week.Anyways i hope Hmd Nokia will stop launching toyish looking impractical phones such as this 2720 flip and 8110 4g.Hasta la vista.

  • No it have kai os.

  • Relaunch Symbian os.. it is the best os..

  • Does it have a Keychain Lot ??

  • To those people that owns a 2720 flip phone : this phone has call recorder or not?

  • I agree. If you are willing to make the odd sacrifice in speed KaiOS is pretty good

  • I had the same thoughts. I still exchanged it for my Sony XZ2c last week and it works! I miss USB-C and I have to get used to the speed of the device. But in principle it can do everything the Sony can do, except for the camera. The form factor is just great and worth the cuts :)

  • If you think you can use this as a replacement to your smartphone because you prefer the form factor think again, it's crap! Build is nice though and feels nice in hand but that is all.

  • Really want to know, does KaiOS support VPN connections?

  • Great review. LOL, you can not expected more on this phone with poor OS and screen 2.8 inch :P

  • This phone has call recorder ?

  • I managed to get a dual sim version from Germany in 6 days ..... Soltel I think they’re called

  • Can anybody know when Nokia 2720 Flip will realeasing in Pakistan ?? Can't wait anymore 😌😌

  • Now i want a new Nokia 7260 with S40, Java MIDP Support MP3 Player and Wi-Fi support!

  • This device is too big. The buttons should have been more accessible like on the Nokia 800 Tough.

  • I purchased mine from jb hi-fi on line for $149 but i did see it in the good guys catalogue for the same price in store. hope this helps

  • Isn't that the reason why you bought the handset in the first place? To flip it like a pro

  • - Does this phone have the same issues related to text prediction input (letter capitalization, possibility to save new word...) as Nokia 8110 4g? - Is it possible to insert smileys into sms text ? Nokia 8110 4g does not have that capability

  • Nokia is sweet memory in my cellular world....😁😁😁ð�­�˜there's so many memory remains with this vendor....

  • Yep.access it from the home screen by pushing up on the directional pad.

  • KaiOS is the future of feature phone! ^w^

  • It's a true Wi-Fi hotspot .4G speeds are possible depending on network.used purely as 4g hotspot you can get 5 hours of Wi-Fi time before the battery runs to 0 percent.

  • It's faster and smoother.

  • I am using Nokia 8110 4G as my daily driver and I can send messages on Facebook.

  • I bet you can send facebook messages through it, after all you have twitter, whatsapp and ect...

  • does this phone use facebook messenger thats the only thing i need to know

  • It have call recording or not ?

  • Agreed.. i just sold my 2720 and downgrade to 8110.. because of flip.. yes flip.. everytime when u want to reply whatsapp u open and close ipen close open close open close open clise open close open close open close aaaargh ...

  • I guess it can play MP3 too. I have Alcatel Go Flip with kaiOS, and have mp3 music files playing. Probably buy this Nokia 2720 flip if already in stores, but there's a new Alcatel Go Flip 3 with voice assistant, and will compare this two when it comes to specs.

  • Super interested in the phone, but one thing the site, nor any other outlets really make clear is whether or not the hotspot function is using the phone's 4G or if it's just acting as a wifi passthrough. I need something I can use as a hotspot no matter where I am, so the hotspot using the phone's 4G would be my ideal. Does anyone know if this is the case?

  • Throughout years of technological research, never have I come across an advancement this complex and specialised. I will endeavour to order 3 of these devices and will use the combined ram of the 3 devices to cause a technological eclipse bringing the wrath of the Nokia 2720 Flip crashing down on our current economy.

  • Looking forward to buy it.

  • I want this phone online purchase could not got in store can you say which on line I can purchase this nokia 2720 features110

  • Great review. One question does the flash for the camera be used as a torch?

  • Nokia should bring back the legendary C5 model with some improvements.

  • Is this phone going to get released in India ?

  • Hello. Can the bundled apps (Whatsapp, Google etc.) be uninstalled/disabled in this phone?

  • customized launcher for example

  • The new Nokia 8110 was very slow and unresponsive to quick button presses when typing. How is this phone?

  • Does it support mp3?

  • It's Available for jio phone too but what are advantage of it

  • Instagram mobile website runs well

  • Nice build quality.the black shiny glossy plastic scratches easily .great WiFi hotspot speeds,volume buttons are helpful,nice big keypad for typing,smoother and faster performance from KaiOS 2.5.2 versus the Nokia 8110 4g OS,2.8 inch screen is a big improvement. Highly recommended to buy this over the Nokia 8110 4G if one is thinking of getting a KaiOS phone.

  • Where did you buy this from? Is it available in UK?

  • Thanks for your first impressions. Kaios Store is shit, the fun starts when you root the phone and install apps from bananahackers store

  • Just bought it 3 days ago. I experimented it as a work phone and here's what I found out. Yes it has Whatsapp but it's a very watered down version. Because the screen is small, reading large amount of info is almost impossible. Scrolling is a nightmare but that depends on your resilience. However the make or break deal is it doesn't support advanced documents (Office docs or PDF). The battery does hold charge very well, about 40+% from 8AM-5PM. Email is ok, all basic functions work. What's weird is that I got signed out very often and re-signed in and as a result it takes me to the email's setup screen. Fortunately you just hit save and it works again. Annoying though. Strength: The volume on this thing is crazy loud in comparison to higher-end phones. Listening to the other person on the other end of the line is very satisfying (I'm guessing satisfying amount of radiation too? Hm?) Maybe I'm too used to the weak-ass volumes of current phones. Verdict: This phone is for oldies who need minimal communication with their children, and little children communicating with their parents. As for developers, the phone runs webapps on the platform so I think it'll be a fun experiment for code enthusiasts. Other than that, it's a very handsome phone. Cheap? Definitely not, because the features don't match. Kai OS' app store is practically less than 20-30 apps overall? Garbage apps mostly. Oh well. Danger: Very tempting to break it in half after a phone call. Just like the movies.

  • It does have WiFi!

  • I doubt we'll ever see the likes of Instagram on this phone.

  • Is this coming to Australia one day?

  • Really with wifi? Nice.

  • yes.... i have both yahoomail and gmail on it...

  • i've had it for about a week.. nice, cool.. brings back memories. i hope nokia will provide continuous updates to the firmware and also increase the number of apps in the store...e.g. instagram would be nice...

  • Micro USB outdated. Screen resolution really low.

  • Does gmail or any other email function in this flip phone

  • How can i change the message tone? I kept on choosing the tone that i want for notices but when i receive messages it really doesnt play the sound that i want. The message tone that it plays is not even on the notices tones list. Please help me change the message tone please

  • Not out of the box. But there is an unfinished java emulator for Kaios, find it on bananhackers website

  • I'll buy this for $100 as back up phone.

  • Hey, i am just wondering, does this phone support Java MIDP like the old Nokia phone? I simply miss that Java game

  • It is really a shame this phone is not equipped with usb-c instead of micro usb which will soon be considered very obsolete. I want to be able to use the same chargers for all my equipment.

  • The problem isn't the one you think it is. People love Nostalgia. Maybe not you. But i certainly do. I loved the sliding mechanism of 8110. That was the main selling point of the phone. The real problem isnt the slider, it's the KaiOS, nokia should've gone with Symbian (which supported WhatsApp until recent years), or should've used more powerful chipset in the device. The OS and hardware doesn't pair well. So the end user experience is below par. Also there's a keyboard key click registering issue, probably a hardware issue. And the premium feel is somewhat missing from these new HMD retro phones. They could've done much better with the build for the price tag i guess.

  • I'm sorry it doesn't support the mobike version. But you can play PUBG PC version with extreme graphics at 144 frames per second without any lag LOL

  • I like this phone so much, wifi, 4G, GPS, KaiOS, and... flip phone! Not sure if I am gonna buy it, since my Nokia 3310 from 2017 is still serving as my work phone without issues. I will probably end up buying it just for the sake of having it. I like it even better than the 8110 of last year.

  • I will buy it for my mother

  • They should have used the original S40 (Java) OS instead of KaiOS. And the keypad is a bit boring, does not have the elegance of the original Nokia phones.

  • In the era when mobile phones are everything but phones, this NOKIA device is a true mobile phone! Only Nokia still make non-smart mobile phones, because there are people that want PHONES in their mobile phones, not computers. Those are elderly people, kids, simple persons and, believer it or not, CEO's... Thanks Nokia for inventing cell phones back... AGAIN!

  • If you mean SMS, of course that it is suitable for that, since they run on the GSM band

  • Keypad on the 8110 4G is a nightmare, So yes , this one is better for texting. Beside its like identical, same specs

  • Definitely nope since there's only 512MB of RAM in the device.

  • of course cannot

  • Then is this nokia 2720 flip is good for texting??And is this phone is faster than nokia 8110 4G???

  • yes, I am so excited for this.

  • yeah but can it Pubg mobile?

  • This is a real pone, only for calls. Future owners don't care of neither Android apps nor multi-megapixels

  • Have Auto call recorder?

  • Yes you can with the high display.

  • Can we play PUBG on this phone??----LoL

  • I have never been excited about a phone before. This is the simplest anyone could ask for. The fast connectivity is a plus for syncing contacts and calendars and watching eye candy. Very good job Nokia

  • it has wifi

  • fast charging upto 5v 2A

  • u can listen songs but insta won't work u can use whatsapp though

  • Other review says no wifi

  • It looks like a great device. Here's hoping for a global release.

  • Another grandma device from Hmd global.Why? i thought they have learned their mistake after their failure with Nokia 8110. And i think its even worse than already worst nokia 8110. In case of 8110 you need to slide everynow and then to use the phone and it was extremely irritating.And with the 2720 you'll have flip??? Thats even worse.No matter how much nostalgia it brings, at the end of the day its a highly impractical device in this era.I would rather choose the 800 tough instead, beacuse it has far superior build quality and you dont have to flip.

  • Stop day dreaming that much....No is the answer

  • I want to know this too!

  • so can we hear songs and do instagram in this phone

  • Can turn on the camera flash as a flashlight?

  • at least usb-c would have been nice. all in all, the device is just a gimmick for retro fans or as a daily driver for grandma's handbag

  • I suppose it cant. It has no front camera

  • Is this Nokia flip 2720 supports video calling via any app ?

  • Is this phone support video calling via WhatsApp, imo or massenger or any other video calling app, pls answer.

  • It has Hotspot

  • One suggestion could you throw in fast charging.

  • Very very thank you Nokia for this phone launch i love this phone very much i really like flip phone. thank you.

  • seems you never used kaios ? its based on firefox browser means no multitasking and apps cant run in the background, always needs 100% CPU

  • Type c socket be given for 110€, even i want one for its retro-modern design, but travelling with 2 separate chargers for that fantasy is a deal breaker. Micro usb is weak and has finiky connection, chargers will get become scarce to borrow in the coming years

  • does it have Hotspot?

  • Lol its a responsibility of whats app not kaiOS blaim whatsapp

  • no, nokia 3310 is better

  • they are hosting too much, that's the selling point for a nokia brand, no more than that, and they have gone too far behind their competitors

  • yes i have nokia asha 311 and its better then this phone.why we need sd chipset in button phone and also adreno gpu!!

  • Not yet, it will be lauched soon in pakistan

  • ok for gradma calls, but texting oh lordy my finger?? take me all day

  • Nokia has not released this phone in the market for sale. But it will be available in market very soon!

  • This phone is available in Pakistan yes no

  • I have been waiting for this nokia and cant wait to get one looks a great fone

  • whatsapp on my nokia 8110 4G uses a lot of battery, even if I do not use it. kaios is not optimized for apps running in the background. its a dumb smart phone OS, android would make so much more sense

  • Can't wait to buy one here in INDIA. I am in just love with this phone the time I saw it.

  • That's something i always wanted❤️

  • Nice to watch YouTube on this phone

  • It's support dual 4g sim

  • Yes all the things I needed: FM radio check 3.5mm check WiFi hot spot check 4G network check Dual SIM check SD card slot check Removable battery check and most of all flip phone check. I love it!

  • Great phone! Convenient to use. Hopefully, Nokia will re make a SLIDE phone. Like Nokia 6500slide etc.

  • Nokia Asha 300, 302, 303 and 311 are better than this.

  • I thought its a nice phone, we can open pdf doc (due to kaios store) but how about an office ( doc, xls, or ppt) bcoz sometime we need to make a correction. Thx

  • If nokia want to do new and it is necessary for him, a android phone with two batteries, 1 for just phone function, so basic phone functions would be 4 to 5 days and other as similar as now. It should be sliding horizontally with 5.5 inch display and physical keyboard will give easy control for typing and helpful when running on just phone mode to boost battery timing.

  • Low battery will be terrible on this set

  • I definitely miss flip phone, and with the phone running on KaiOS, I am definitely interested in this device.

  • Symbion Is the new android

  • You do know this runs Kai OS right? They just keep adding social media apps like twitter facebook and whatsapp. The hardware is too slow to keep up. The OS (i haven't used this device, but i have a 8110 4g which has the same hardware and software) isn't anyway near to being polished so it could deliver a smooth user experience. By the way you can add you google contacts through your google account, but unfortunately it doesn't have a sync functionality. I really believe nokia should bring back the old Symbian S^3 or belle OS to these kind of devices. My first phone was a Nokia C7 and it only had 256mb of RAm and 680MHz ARM 11 processor, yet i had a very pleasant experience with it. You're here talking about a dream phone haha. Edge to edge display with ability to rotate. This phone retails on 90€ but i really doubt the production of this phone costed at least one third of the price. As of now, i bought a Nokia 3310 since i like feature phones. And it is much better when it comes to basic functions like calling and texting.

  • Flip phones is my favorite....I'll get it when this product launch (if I'm not mistaken, it'll be launch @ end of september 2019 in asia pacifik)

  • I really like the design. It is simple and smart, seems user friendly too as the buttons look comfortable. Hope battery life lasts more than a coupple of days. We hardly use a watch these days so I like the clock on top. Unrelated to this phone but is a relatable topic, I really wish KaiOS had a couple more features like Google Contacts. I have full access to all my contacts over all my android deveices. This makes like very convenient. I am a person who uses one single app which is usable for multiple purposes, If possible I really hope Google comes out with something like WhatsApp. Turn its Messages to be able to send messages over internet. That would be amazing. An idea for next model's design. If the screen were edge to edge, and could be turned around all the way, Video viewing and reading experience would be great, Maps too, Naviagtion with the regular mobile holder in my car and bike would be great this way. Also when it is turned around completely, the buttons would be turned off to avoid unnecessary hassles. Lastly, Really looking for a phone like this also which must have great battery life and comes with USB type-C for faster charging and better data transfers. Nokia phones used to last almost 5 - 10 days. Wish something like that is possible again. Really annnoying these days to charge so many things so many times. I guess I spoke too much already. Thanks. Rohan Reginald

  • I want this phone telling me release date

  • It's just a 8110 4g in a different form factor. Hopefully they've somehow tuned and optimized the OS to work well on this.

  • Still the quality of old Nokia's is missing from these feature phones. HMD needs to do better. For 90 euros you gotta add a quality screen, a better OS ( at least the looks ) ( Symbian won't be a bad idea since it worked really well on a decade old hardware )

  • I want to n96 update version & dual sim support

  • Yeah until it isn't LOL

  • sweet lawd almighty! HOTSPOT!!! unfortunately, 1,500mah... *sad*

  • I actually prefer the old one to this new one

  • where is whatsapp in this phone..

  • 90 Euro for this piece of junk

  • Y'all have no idea how long I've been waiting for this!

  • I love this phone as a second phone to own. However, the price tag on this site is on the high side. Nokia, kindly work on the price. Nokia....Love your phones.....

  • Goodmorning.So it is an 8110 4g,just with a flip-clamshell design.....That's fine,at least they should made the kaios a little bit faster or less laggy......

  • Wow, I love this! Gonna get one. I'm tired using smartphone. KaiOS is cool alternative to Android and IOS.

  • Spare phone. Battery not built in. Maybe less than listed price.

  • Please guys, Let Nokia make this phone, give 'em your support. As you know, they cannot compete with another Android OS brand now

  • Don't try to think. You need brain for that. This is the best ever feature phone with semi smart phone features. You stick with your complex and get a screen bigger than your butt.

  • Can we get a 5-inch full touch screen feature phone running KaiOS? That will be perfect for my mom as she is still using a nokia feature phone and struggling with a smartphone.

  • Wow great will buy one for my mum 👍

  • soo cool , look at this, youtube in a flip phone, reminds me the old days, thank you nokia

  • A missed opportunity. 2mp camera? TFT screens? The secondary display should be an always-on-display amoled screen. And that camera simply does not belong in 2019. What were they thinking? Otherwise, I could have been a really good "alternative" phone.

  • KaiOS is the problem, its like high school students graduation project it doesn't have block numbers or calls with whatsapp, contacts synchronization

  • i still cant understand what nokia think before making phones!!!!

  • Oops! KaiOSh*t again

  • This is a good idea. Cool design. Nokia should embrace its past.

  • No front camera :(

  • Wow...same spec as 8110? This phone gonna lag like .........

  • i hope it would be available in Indonesia 'cause i want one

  • I am so sick with this qvga res.Please nokia it is not 2005. 2019 below 200 ppi is a NO. SORRY NOKIA.

  • Real fan of this, the 2720 wasn't iconic but it was popular back in 2009.

  • can Nokia make a gadget like this with x6 series like camera. contacts, calendar, to do, and sms messages that behaves like android. last talktime 8hrs or more. :-)
