Flip phones are finally making a comeback…

This is great news for fans of retro mobiles.

Flip phones are finally making a comeback after being completely forgotten about over the past few years. LG are releasing a modernised touch screen flip phone installed with Android operating system Lollipop 5.1.   The retro look includes the old-style keyboard reminiscent of the Motorola Razr -  a huge hit back in the day. LG have launched the phone in Korea and it will soon be released in the US and a number of European countries including Spain, France and the UK. It's pretty affordable too, set in the price range of £109. However, with just a 2 megapixel camera and much smaller screen, we're left wondering whether it can really compete with other smartphones.
