Nokia 2660 Flip – A soothing old friend in a crowd of smartphones
In today’s age of touchscreen smartphones, when everyone is talking about high-res cameras, big displays and a plethora of apps, Nokia has come up with a phone that takes us down memory lane. Nokia 2660 Flip is not just a phone, but a feeling – a feeling when a phone meant clear conversations, long battery life and ease of use.
This phone is for those who want their device to be reliable, easy to use, have the essential features without unnecessary confusing options. It has the old-school flip phone styling and the new-age connectivity like 4G, making it a perfectly balanced package.
Design – A new look wrapped in nostalgia
Nokia has paid special attention to the design of this phone. It has been given a modern touch while retaining the classic flip phone styling.
- When you open it, the click sound and feel is really heartwarming. This is a feeling that touchscreen phones can never give.
- When closed, it becomes so compact that it easily fits in the pocket, and does not feel heavy in the pocket like bigger smartphones.
- The colour options are such that along with the professional look, it also gives a little personal touch – that is, this phone will look good in the office as well as at home.
- The old identity of Nokia – robustness – is clearly visible in it. This phone does not get damaged easily even with a slight drop or scratch.
Dual display – easy and efficient
This phone has two displays – one inside and one outside.
- The main display inside is for reading your messages, viewing the call list and using basic apps. Its size is such that the text can be read without straining the eyes.
- The small display outside is very useful. With this, you can see who is calling, what time it is, or whether any message has come or not, without opening the phone.
- The advantage of this is that there is no need to open the phone again and again, and the battery is also saved.
The brightness of the outdoor display adjusts according to different lights, so it is clearly visible even in sunlight.
Physical keypad – the old fun of typing
Today, while typing on a touchscreen, many times the wrong words are typed, but in Nokia 2660 Flip you get a T9 keypad, which gives a very tactile feel.
- The “click” feedback that is received on pressing every button makes typing easy and accurate.
- If you have used a flip phone before, then you will immediately recognize its layout.
- Typing is easy even in low-light because the keypad has a backlight.
It also has predictive text, which learns from your typing pattern and suggests words quickly.
Connectivity – old look, new network
Even though this phone looks traditional, it has 4G support.
- This means you can not only make calls and text messages, but also do basic internet browsing, email, and run lightweight apps.
- It has the KaiOS platform, which lets you run lightweight versions of apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Google Maps.
- There is also Wi-Fi support, which lets you save mobile data.
- There is also GPS, which makes it easy to share basic navigation and location.
Camera – Sufficient for everyday use
The Nokia 2660 Flip has a basic camera, which is sufficient for your everyday needs.
- Whether you want to take photos of documents or just take a quick picture, this phone does the job just fine.
- Yes, it won’t produce high-resolution photos like a smartphone, but it can definitely click pictures worth sharing on social media.
- Video recording is also done in basic quality, which helps you capture important moments.
Music and Multimedia – Joy in Simplicity
You can listen to MP3 music in it, and if you want, you can store thousands of songs by inserting a microSD card.
- There is also FM radio, through which music and news can be listened without internet.
- The sound of the speaker is clear and the volume is also good, which makes the experience of both calls and music great.
