Telstra Flip 2: Plans | Pricing | Specs

Where to buy

The Telstra Flip 2 is a phone designed for folks who loved old-school flip phones, such as the iconic Motorola RAZR. It's not built by Telstra, with the Chinese manufacturer ZTE producing it on Telstra's behalf.

The Telstra Flip 2 isn't a smartphone in an apps sense; it's more of a feature phone for those who don't want to bother with apps or other connectivity issues.

Design

• 2.4-inch display
• Retro flip design
• Physical number pad

  The Telstra Flip 2's design is one that looks back to an earlier time in the evolution of the mobile phone – it's very much a "feature" phone. As the name suggests, it's a flip-up mobile phone designed primarily for calling and texting duties and not much else, with a simple black plastic frame and small 2.4-inch low resolution display.

  The reality here is that if all you want a mobile for is for calling and texting, it's certainly going to be enough. If you dislike touchscreen typing, you may find the presence of an old-school full number pad appealing as well.

Camera

• Simple 2MP camera unlikely to impress
• 0.3MP selfie camera won't flatter you either

  Back when feature phones were the only phones you could get, mobile photography was in its infancy, and the idea that you could take a photo without requiring film seemed pretty fancy.

  That's the era that the Telstra Flip 2's camera phone finds itself in, with a very basic rear 2MP camera and an even more rudimentary front-facing 0.2MP "selfie" camera. On the Telstra Flip 2's low resolution screen you might not tell the difference, but if you sent any MMS messages with pictures in them, your recipients certainly will.

  Again, though, this will suit a particular market, but if mobile photography is important to you, the Telstra Flip 2 might not be your best choice.

Performance

• 4G capable
• "Blue Tick" compatible for regional users

  Feature phones don't typically need to be fast phones, because they don't have to do all that much. The Telstra Flip 2's Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor is amongst the slower echelon of mobile processors, and the inclusion of just 1GB of user accessible memory is also pretty meagre.

  Again though, that's not really the point, because this is definitively the phone for folks who don't want an iPhone to speak of. What is notable is that it's fully 4G compatible, and it's even one of the few phones to gain Telstra's "Blue Tick" certification. This means that it has superior reception in regional and rural areas of Australia, and it's one of Telstra's cheapest phones to offer that.

Battery

• 1,000mAh removable battery

• Read more on the Telstra Flip 2's battery

  The Telstra Flip 2's battery only measures in at 1,000mAh, which is on the lower side. Again, though, the lower needs of a feature phone mean that this should be less of a hassle than you might think. Telstra's estimates suggest that it's good for up to 3 hours of talk time on 4G networks, and up to 200 hours of standby time. What's more, it's one of only a very small handful of phones that still feature a removable battery.
