Yo, I love flip phones, think that it just looks so cunty,I’m looking for a modern flip/clamshell phone with a physical keypad, and I’m trying to find even the most obscure models worldwide. Quirky designs, with quirky color combinations are also lovely. Retro tech is the best. My ideal phone would have 5G, full Android + Google Play, 128GB minimum (256GB preferred), a modern chipset/RAM, USB-C, good cameras/battery, and a 4"+ main/inter, maybe a flashlight would also be great.. I want to dig as obscure as possible, across Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, India, Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Latin America, basically anywhere — including tiny local brands, ODMs, discontinued models, prototypes/leaks, and upcoming 2026–2027 phones.i'd also want it to run apps and websites as well, lowkey kinda like a smart phone.

That's cool, I'm tryna look for it to completely replace and become my daily mobile rather than a secondary device, but thank you for your suggestion❤️

This thread peaked my interest, I should go back to tinkering. Linux on arm is a thing now.. Tbh I stopped using it as a daily driver because 1. htc stopped maintaining the android build, and the phone was so niche, cyanogenmod android also stopped building for it. I’d rather have a full keyboard in a niche, ancient brick, than 5g I would reckon. I hope you find sth. on your search!
