Nokia 2660 Flip Black 128GB Review
The Nokia 2660 Flip is a charming idea that fails in practice. We found its tiny storage and useless camera make it a poor choice, even as a basic phone.
The 30-Second Version
Skip this overpriced nostalgia trip. You're paying $145 for a camera from 2005 and storage that fills up if you sneeze. Get a cheap Android phone and turn off the notifications instead.
Overview
Let's be real. The Nokia 2660 Flip isn't a smartphone, and that's the whole point. This is a digital detox machine disguised as a phone. It's for anyone who wants to be reachable without the endless scroll. The one thing to know? It's a basic, 4G-capable flip phone with an FM radio. That's it. Don't expect apps, a good camera, or a snappy interface. It's a tool, not an entertainment center.
Performance
Honestly, nothing about the performance surprised me, which is exactly what you want from a phone like this. The Unisoc T107 chip and 48MB of RAM are about as basic as it gets, landing it in the bottom half of our performance rankings. It'll handle calls and texts just fine, but menus can feel a bit sluggish. It's not fast, but it's fast enough for its intended job.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- The flip form factor is satisfyingly nostalgic and protects the screen. 86th
- The 4G connectivity is a huge win over older 2G/3G dumbphones. 72th
- The FM radio is a genuinely useful feature that doesn't need data.
- It's network unlocked, so you can pop in any SIM.
Cons
- The 0.3MP camera is practically useless in 2025. 14th
- 128MB of storage is a joke; you can't store more than a handful of photos. 33th
- The 1450mAh battery scored poorly; you'll likely charge it every other day. 35th
- The tiny 2.8" TFT screen is fine for calls but terrible for anything else.

Value & Pricing
At $145, it's a tough sell. You're paying a nostalgia tax for the flip form and the Nokia name. For the same price, you can find refurbished smartphones that do infinitely more. This phone's value is purely emotional, not practical.
vs Competition
Forget the Pixel 7 Pro or iPhone 12 on that competitor list, they're in a different universe. A more relevant comparison is any cheap, unlocked Android phone under $150, like the Samsung Galaxy A03s. That phone gives you a modern OS, a usable camera, and basic apps. The Nokia 2660 Flip's only real advantage is its physical keypad and the fact it can't run TikTok. If you want a true 'dumbphone,' there are cheaper 4G models out there without the flip.

Common Questions
Q: Can I use WhatsApp or Facebook on this?
No. It runs a basic OS, not Android or KaiOS. It's for calls, texts, and the FM radio. That's the point.
Q: Is the battery life really that bad?
Our data puts it in the bottom third for battery. The 1450mAh cell is small. With 4G on, expect to charge it every day or two, not weekly like the old indestructible Nokias.
Q: Can I use it as a hotspot?
Almost certainly not. This isn't that kind of device. It's a voice and text communicator, not a modem.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a reliable backup phone or a device for an elderly relative, this isn't it. The tiny storage and awful camera are dealbreakers. Go get a simple, unlocked Android phone like the Nokia C100 instead. It's easier to use and actually functional.
Verdict
We can't recommend buying the Nokia 2660 Flip. It's charming in theory but overpriced and under-spec'd in reality. The terrible camera, tiny storage, and mediocre battery life make it a poor tool even for its limited purpose. If you desperately want a flip phone, look for a cheaper model. If you just want to reduce screen time, use your smartphone's focus modes and buy a watch for notifications.
