Nokia 2780 Flip | Unboxing & Features Explored!

[@みかん-m8u4e]

Nokia's flip phone is awesome. nice to meet you. I'm a Japanese essayist. My name is Mikan Oshidari（忍足みかん）. I am writing a book called [I want to stop being a slave to my smartphone]. I switched to a flip phone because of my smartphone addiction. It's for mental health. Smartphone addiction is a serious disease. However, it is not seen as much of a problem worldwide. Now I use a flip phone and it's comfortable and I'm happy. However, I am worried about what will happen in the future when flip phones will no longer be produced. Although you can't buy Nokia flip phones in Japan, I hope that one day flip phones will become popular again in Japan.

[@corentin8634]

You should read the book "Digital Minimalism" from Cal Newport. It talks about this topic.

[@danteerskine7678]

​@@AbdullaZakiI prefer the 2780 by far, bigger internal memory, functional KZbin app, hotspot and WiFi, 4g LTE, dedicated kai Os operating system which is a game changer knowing that Bada os, windows Mobile and tizen os don't exist anymore as we're stuck with android and iOS , google browser instead of that useless opera mini browser that serve no purpose and makes the LTE network pretty much useless and super slow and a dedicated app store with apps like UC browser, Gmail, Google Drive and the habitual shenanigans found on smartphones. For now, I have a Nokia C30 running android 11 with a mighty 6000 mah battery that I use as my main feature phone and that phone is a complete battery beast. I tried to kill it but the battery wouldn't die even after 2 to 3 days of extensive use. The c30 cost the same as a Nokia 2720 but the added ram, storage, massive screen and battery and the good WiFi connectivity, it's unbeatable and never mind the lack of os upgrade, it's the convenience that matters Unfortunately you're right on one thing, I haven't seen any newly fresh launch by Nokia and no Nokia phones with Android 13 out of the box while Motorola, Infinix, Samsung and Xiaomi are taking matters in hand

[@inigohiroki]

I got mine for 9 months now. Served its purpose as my basic call and text phone for my international sim. And the usbc charger comes in handy.

[@el_ibacache]

Oh such nostalgia. I do appreciate on this version that Nokia uses a USB-C for charging, to bring some modern amenities to feature phones. It's great that there are these types of devices available for anyone who's not that tech savvy. But i sure wish Nokia could do better in terms of availability and going a little more crazy when they renew old phones in this modern era...

I agree

[@toms5996]

To me as a Finn it's so interesting that Nokia still makes phones (I know it's in brand only but I don't think everyone knows that Nokia phones are still completely Finnish, meaning development is as Finnish as in the age of Nokia phones 'proper'. Even the management is from Nokia 'proper'.) Nokia phones are not sold here in Finland so I have no idea of the quality, I hope the quality and price meet. Nokia headquarters is half a kilometre from my home and they're doing great with networking and mobile phone/data infrastructure. ETA: I noticed some people are not satisfied with the software. I would send an e-mail and make noice on social media. Finnish companies actually listen to customers.

HMD (The Nokia phone maker of today) is sadly not on the same level as Nokia of old in terms of scale, customer support etc. They are trying but as someone whose been using Nokia phones since the early 2000s, its not in the same caliber.

[@GjordDeLad05]

Thank god you're back Mr Nokia 🙌. Even though I no longer use Nokia ( Went to Sony Xperia 1 series since HMD no longer interest to compete in flagship class ) I still follow what they're doing through your videos and wish them improve since they're my childhood brand just like Sony and Motorola. I do interest in this phone and that at 4:00 is all I need but there little hope as sadly cheap low budget android is all HMD Indonesia sell nowadays as they basically only sell C series 😞

I switched to a flip phone because of my smartphone addiction. It's all about mental health. I no longer get tired of smartphone screens, notification sounds, and unnecessary connections. It's comfortable. Only the really necessary communications will come to your flip phone. There is no inconvenience. I think flip phones should be reevaluated more globally. I hear that young people in America are paying the most attention to flip phones. Thank you for the wonderful video.

Anyone seen that HMD Global announced that they'll be launching their own HMD branded phones. For now they will launch alongside Nokia branded ones at least until 2026 when their licencing agreement with Nokia officially expires (unknown whether Nokia proper will renew with HMD Global, someone else or just stop licencing it's name completely).

[@dhruvshukla2389]

I guess HMD gave up on trying to use the Nokia brand name in the hopes of having good sales. Regardless, my next phone won't be Nokia. HMD just keeps disappointing with their phones.

I just bought this phone for my 96 year old granny. She is not tech savvy and just wants a basic phone. The bigger buttons should be much better than the small Samsung flip phone. I am hoping the sound quality is also much better. I hope they continue to make these, as she may need an other one in a couple of years. These batteries don’t last too many years. There is a market for the seniors in the world, who simply just want to make a phone call! Period. ❤

[@iriankohl7759]

thats actually a good "upgrade" I really think that if Hmd want to get more attention they should make their "originals" a little bit more powerful while keeping the soul intact I mean "smartphones" born with keypad with slide /clamshell forms and they were amazing so why know keep relying on kaios but with more muscle? say 1.5 GB processor at least 1 or 2 ram depending of the model keep it feature rich and at least the screen size 3.2/3.5 and a res of at least 640x480 Im pretty sure that they are able to do that and more without breaking end user budget neither their own

[@atulmalhotra2303]

I waa forced to buy my first ever non Nokia phone in February 2023 after my trusted old Nokia 7.2 took a dunk and died. I was not looking to buy a new phone cuz 5G is still some time away here in India. But Nokia India broke my heart by pricing the X30 at 48,999, which was bizarre to say the least. Even the Nokia G60 was overpriced at Rs 29,999. With a heavy heart, I picked up my first ever Motorola, the Moto Edge 30 for 22,500. I am happy with the phone but I miss the Nokia logo.

[@avim4896]

I was thinking the same, X30 was simply overpriced. So I got the pixel 6a and never regretted it. Excellent call quality, camera, video and battery.

I wonder how stable the screen is. In the past I always had Samsung C260 and C270 phones and those were pretty much indestructible. Once I even lost in on a road and a car ran over it with its wheel, but it was still working. However recently I bought a flip phone from an unknown brand and the screen of that phone did not even the pressure applied on it when I have it in my back pocket and sit on it. That's why I am now looking for a flip phone from a well known brand hoping that it will be stable. It is important for me that I can disable data completely, because I do not have a data plan and every megabyte without a data plan would be very expensive. Is there any easy way to turn off all data in the settings?

I wonder if/when Nokia phones will do that. However, as I live in Finland and you have read my comment above, Nokia phones is now in a process of making a shift from feature phones to Android based phones. This would mean a price jump but would bring a range of various new models. It will take a year though before Android based Nokia phones will hit the market. To my knowledge Nokia phones will continue with feature phones in any case. Also I don't know the market situation as Nokia phones sell different phones in different markets.
