Question Flip phones

[kaseya83]

I’m trying to decide which flip phone to purchase. I’m deciding between the nostalgic razr + or the Samsung flip 5. Which will last the longest?

What do you mean by last the longest? Samsung have a good track record of supporting their devices with software updates, while Motorola are the polar opposite.

It depends on your preferences, but personally I wouldn't buy a Moto phone.

I agree although Motorola did a great job I would definitely go with the Samsung flip for the phone..

I like the razr because the crease isn’t as noticeable from what I’ve heard. I used to own a razr back in the day

Can you do everything on the Samsung front screen?

You can use Goodlock to run any app on the outside screen.. I've used the front screen to watch videos and use pretty much every app for those occasions where I don't feel like opening the phone..

I didn't try any tpu cases as I went with slim aramid cases from Latercase and Benks...maybe one of our members here can recommend one ..

I don't find myself wanting to use most apps on the lock screen tbh. After the novelty wore off I just have messaging apps and youtube, and youtube is only there to show off to new folk.

On cases, I only have an owkey one that I got off Amazon... it's pretty decent for the cash. I prefer premium cases, but they are very thin on the ground for flips.

I think most will use it for on the go... But it's nice to have and I have to open up the phone and you could do plenty of options like reading an email.. responding to one or a text.. checking out music controls within the app looking for music.. very useful

I might have more on there if it was my main phone. It's probably also a lot more useful if you don't wear a smartwatch.

Yep definitely.. I don't use an Android watch so it was very helpful when I had the phone.. I used it for a while as my second phone along with my iPhone...
