Your guide to finding an old-school style flip phone in 2023

Way before the iPhone became the default smartphone of choice for many, flip phones ruled the market. Who could forget those bejewelled clamshell “flip phones” Paris Hilton used to carry in the early 2000s? In fact, there was a rush among companies to make flip phones, with Motorola just killing it with its premium Moto Razr series.

But lately, a whole new segment is waking up to the flip phones of the past, opening up a new sense of individuality and self-expression. On social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, there has been a rise in young people expressing their love for flip phones. With companies like Samsung going all for foldable clamshell-style smartphones, the regeneration of flip phones is having a moment in 2023.
