Nokia 2660 Flip – Old-school charm, modern convenience
In today’s age of smartphones, when everyone is busy with WhatsApp, Instagram and YouTube, phones like the Nokia 2660 Flip remind us that mobile phones can be just about making calls and text messages.
This is a phone that offers simplicity, long battery life and a robust design, but at the same time, it has some modern features to make it work for the users of 2025.
If you want a phone that doesn’t have the hassle of a touchscreen, doesn’t drain the battery quickly, and makes typing easier, then this could be the right choice for you. However, it does have some limitations—especially when it comes to storage and apps.
Design and Display – Classic looks, practical approach
The Nokia 2660 Flip is designed very thoughtfully, especially for senior citizens and those who want a simple and reliable phone.
- Clamshell (Flip) design – means you can close the phone and put it in your pocket as soon as you finish the call, both screen and keypad are safe.
- Robust polycarbonate body – won’t get damaged easily if dropped, perfect for everyday use.
- Inside 2.8-inch QVGA display – big enough to read messages and navigate menus.
- Outside 1.77-inch secondary display – you can see caller ID and time without opening the phone.
- Large, spaced physical keypad – makes typing less error prone, especially for those who get annoyed with touchscreens.
This phone comes in Black, Pop Pink, Lush Green, and Blue color options—meaning a professional look as well as a fun look.
Features and specifications – simple but everything you need
This phone is not made to show off much but to get by. In this you get:
- Processor – Unisoc T107
- Operating System – Nokia Series 30+
- RAM – 48 MB
- Internal Storage – 128 MB (expandable up to 32 GB via microSD card)
- Camera – 0.3 MP (VGA) with flash
- Battery – 1450 mAh, removable
- Bluetooth – v5.0
- 3.5mm headphone jack and FM radio
- Dual 4G SIMs with VoLTE support
But, there is no Wi-Fi, and the 4G connectivity is just for basic internet—not for social media or high-speed browsing.
Price and Variants – Pocket Friendly
As of August 2025, the Nokia 2660 Flip is available both online and offline.
- Black – ₹4,199
- Pop Pink – ₹4,299
- Lush Green – ₹4,299
- Blue – ₹4,199
Prices may vary slightly depending on GST and your city.
The real challenge of storage
The biggest drawback of this phone is its internal storage of only 128 MB.
- Only contacts, some messages and call logs can be stored in it.
- You can increase it up to 32 GB by inserting a microSD card, but some data like SMS and apps remain only in the internal memory.
- If you do not delete messages and call history, the phone will soon start showing “Memory Full”.
This means that you will have to manage the data from time to time.

Expert opinion
Tech experts believe that this phone is excellent in its work even without smart features.
Durable, long battery, easy use – this is its strength.
