Editorial report

TCL Flip technical sheet

The TCL Flip suits anyone looking for a compact, basic phone for straightforward tasks. It runs KaiOS 3.0 and has a 2.8-inch display. At 133 g, it is among the lightest phones of its time, a plus for those who prioritize low weight. It also includes GPS, an FM radio, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and USB Type-C.

The display’s 143 ppi pixel density is among the lowest of its time, and it covers 40.7% of the front surface. That leaves a modest viewing area for anyone who often reads or browses on a phone. Its 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of storage are also among the lowest figures of its time, although storage is expandable. The camera has a 2 MP resolution, likewise among the lowest of its time.

The 1,850 mAh battery and 5 W charging are among the weakest of its time, making power a clear trade-off. Overall, the TCL Flip is a simple phone for calls and basic functions, with low weight and useful connections but substantial limits in its display, memory, camera, and battery. It makes most sense for someone who prefers a straightforward form to a large screen or higher hardware specifications.
