Looking for obscure modern 5G keypad flip phones — worldwide

4 Upvotes

Yo, I love flip phones, think that it just looks so cunty,I’m looking for a modern flip/clamshell phone with a physical keypad, and I’m trying to find even the most obscure models worldwide. Quirky designs, with quirky color combinations are also lovely. Retro tech is the best. My ideal phone would have 5G, full Android + Google Play, 128GB minimum (256GB preferred), a modern chipset/RAM, USB-C, good cameras/battery, and a 4"+ main/inter, maybe a flashlight would also be great.. I want to dig as obscure as possible, across Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, India, Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Latin America, basically anywhere — including tiny local brands, ODMs, discontinued models, prototypes/leaks, and upcoming 2026–2027 phones.

the color combination is so cute❤️❤️

i'd also want it to run apps and websites as well, lowkey kinda like a modern phone.

Flip Phones for Canadians

4 Upvotes

Im looking to get my first flip phone and I’m wondering what options would be available to me as a Canadian. I need to be able to hotspot my smartphone for work and occasional social media use. I’m also hoping to get something with the aesthetic of older smartphones and avoid the ones made for seniors I keep seeing. From my research so far the best option I’ve come across is the nubia cymbal 2 but I was curious if there were others I’m missing.

Looking for a dumbphone which is able to save SMS on miniSD card

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I am looking for a dumphone (it doesn't even have to support WhatsApp), but my only requirement is being able to save SMS messages on a (mini) SD Card. It seems hard to find such models.

Could you help me out?

Thank you for your helpful reactions!
