TCL Flip 4 5G : TCL did turn the bright page of the smartphone with the TCL Flip 4 5G outlining a vertical styling of the classical flip but now imbuing with jism with the speed of 5G. Unpretentious on the outside but with smart features concealed inside. The phone will sell outright at 79.99 dollars or thereabouts, 6700 bucks, with T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile in the U.S.
In TCL Flip 4 5G, the users are welcomed into the internals of the 3.2-inch display paired with a smaller 1.77-inch outside display that shows notifications and caller info without having to turn it over or open. It’s powered by Snapdragon 4s Gen 2, coupled with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage expandable via microSD.
Running on KaiOS 4.0, the apps supported are from Google Maps, YouTube, email & web access, which can be feature-phone-ish but cover most of the activities offered by smartphones. The rear 5MP can take short videos and apply for the 3000mAh battery giving 40 hours of talk time and above 2 days of average usage.
Supported networks are 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0. It supports hotspot capabilities, a 3.5mm jack, and charging via USB Type-C. This phone has dual microphones with noise cancellation, HD voice, FM radio, and plays MP3/FLAC music files.
This matter of availability has not yet set foot in the context of TCL Flip 4 5G, since it has yet to be launched for sale in India. However, some other similar flip phones from TCL are being done online in India.
The Leom TCL Flip 4056 is listed for sale at ₹4218. It is fairly basic-looking, quite cheap, and only caters to basic use. Another one is the refurbished TCL Go Flip 2 4058G, selling for ₹3,685.90. It is factory unlocked, compatible with most carriers, has 8GB of storage, and a fair 3.2-star rating from 1500 consumer reviews.
For that retro styling flip phone with modern features, the TCL Flip 4 5G can safely be called a middle ground between the gone era and newer technology. Nevertheless, as this one has not yet reached India, visiting back here for now might be relevant for these alternatives.
