Nokia 2720 Flip

Brief comparison with the Banana Phone. Highlighting the KaiOS improvements.

[@TheTaxicomics]

Thanks for the comparison, that´s just what i needed. Every other video just said: "They are the same." Good to know they´re not, so thanks!

Do the screen of nokia 2720 seems to break ?by adding a little pressure.

Nokia 2720, does it have a torch feature for the flashlight? I need to know please!

[@keithbartlett8926]

Yes it does. It uses the flash led for the camera.

Thanks for the review & comparison. How do you rate the voice call quality?

[@keithbartlett8926]

Voice quality is excellent. Probably because of the 4G/3G capabilities of the phone

Hi, great video. Just one ques: When you get a call on the flip, do you have to open it up and press a button to answer or just start talking after flipping? Also is there any option for always on display for secondary screen? Thanks

[@keithbartlett8926]

Hi. You open the phone to answer call. No button needed. Also close phone to end call. The secondary screen is the same duration as the main screen.

[@markymarkgroovemaster]

Good review. Please clarify exactly how T9 works on this phone, as it seems to vary between manufacturers. I've used HND's 3310 rehash but this is a different operating system, I believe. So for example to write the word 'job' do you only press 5 once then 6 once then 2 once? Or does it require 3 presses of 6 to get the 'o' and 2 presses of 2 to get the 'b' ? Also, if I want to write a word with an apostrophe such as don't, is it automatic or do I have to go through a menu to create the abbreviated word? I've watched a ton of reviews on this phone and not a single one answers these questions, so thanks in advance, I appreciate your help.

[@keithbartlett8926]

You can select predictive input which only requires one press of the keys. It doesn't auto capitalize though. Also if you press the 4 once it puts a g in and not the obvious i which is a nuisance.

​@@keithbartlett8926 this is the type of os that The Nokia 2660 , 3310, 8210 should have, because sincerely this Nokia 30 series need to die, because this is a waste of 4g when you cannot use the built in opera mini browser. At least, the Bluetooth a2dp 4.2 is there

@@danteerskine7678 I would like all new Nokia feature phones have USB C, 5MP camera and have an Android based OS that can manage proper WhatsApp. We can dream. S30+ is more for complete minimalist and really only has 4G for the 4G calling which seems to be the future

Hi, how could you use Instagram .... ?? I read the app was not available on this phone

[@keithbartlett8926]

Open the browser. Then enter instagram.com and sign in. Once signed in pin the site to the home screen. Then it is easier to return to. The Instagram website is a PWA. Works slowly, but does work. You may need to press the 1 or 3 keys to get the scale right for your phone. Some other PWAs work as well.

[@cravis123]

I bought Nokia 8110 4G when it was launched and I am dissapointed with it...the base functions like SMS is not working well at all...when you try to write a message, it is so sluggish, slow, I hate it...sometimes when you write a long message it disappears, or often the letters skip...it is very frustrating...It does have good parts like camera, fast internet, good speakers, good mic...Don't you have problems when you write an sms? I was searching to buy a flip phone with no Kaios but I couldn't find one that also has two screens...

[@keithbartlett8926]

The keypad on the 8110 is bad. Suffers from key bounce. Other KaiOS phones have better keypads.

Hi. On your phone, when you receive a message, does it provide any kind of notification to tell you that you have a message AFTER you have gotten it? Mine shows "New message" on the external display for 3 seconds but when I open the phone, it does not have a notification to show me I have a message and it does not have a "1" on the messages icon. So if my phone is in another room or I don't hear it straight away then I will never know I have a message. Is yours the same?

The 2720 Flip has good keyboard and lovely screen but is slower. You pays your money and takes your choice. I am referring to the Alcatel 3088X.
