Nokia 2720 Flip

The Nokia 2720 Flip is a Nokia-branded flip phone developed by HMD Global. The 2720 Flip was created, as an updated version of the Nokia 2720 Fold, which debuted in 2009. It was unveiled at IFA 2019 together with the Nokia 110 (2019), Nokia 800 Tough, Nokia 6.2, and Nokia 7.2. It runs the KaiOS operating system, a web-based operating system based on B2G OS.

Target Audience
According to a 2019 article from The Verge, "If you’re seriously considering buying a feature phone like the Nokia 2720 Flip in 2019 then I think you’re likely to be one of three kinds of people. Either you live or work in the developing world, where smartphones sometimes aren’t a practical option, you’re the kind of person who thrives on nostalgia for a simpler time, or else you’re trying to do a “digital detox,” and decrease the amount of time you seem to waste staring at screens every day". This fits in with the general trend of modern flip-phones being seen as a less-harmful alternative to cell phones.

Software
The Nokia 2720 Flip runs on the web-based operating system KaiOS. It runs many more modern apps including, but not limited to, WhatsApp, Facebook, Google Assistant and YouTube.

Reception
In February 2020, the Nokia 2720 Flip received an iF Design Award 2020 by iF International Forum Design.
