Honestly I got a 2760 back in August 2022 because of a video I watched that made me want to get a flip phone instead of an iPhone and then when I watched you long review of the 2760 I decided to get one at my local Walmart. When I had it my experience was amazing. Now this video can help me consider if I should upgrade my flip phone or not
Yes. Go to SETTINGS, then choose PERSONALIZATION, then go down to LID, and click on FLIP OPEN TO ANSWER and select ON. Now you can answer the call by just opening the lid, and end the call by closing the lid.
if you're already on the phone talking to someone and let's, say someone else tries to call you, can you see the incoming number and switch over to the call?
I'm no longer able to use this phone since my carrier uses eSIMs. But I did a test with the sound recorder app on this phone (Nokia 2760) and recorded some audio and yes, it can record directly from the headphone microphone. I would assume that if it can record from the headphone mic, then you could talk on the headphone mic over a call. I would assume that but I don't know it for a fact.
The keyboards are the same on both phones. Exactly the same. No difference. If you don't like the 2760, you will not like the 2780. I also have an Alcatel Go Flip and the keyboard is better (in my opinion) and it also has STT (speech to text) which allows you to speak something out instead of type. I find that to be a game changer.
Ninguno de los Nokia en este video permite bajar ni Facebook ni WhatsApp. Pero el Alcatel MyFlip 2 si permite bajar ambos. Y el Alcatel MyFlip 2 tiene otra ventaja, y es que permite STT (Speech To Text), de manera que para escribir algo uno tiene la opción de hablarlo en lugar de tener que escribirlo todo con el teclado. Aquí lo podés comprobar en un video respuesta que hice: th-cam.com/video/l8hAGYyB_Is/w-d-xo.html
No. It uses the KaiOS operating system, which is very inferior to Android or iOS. Your expectations from KaiOS should bee extremely low. By "extremely low", I mean crazy low.
Também queria, mas sempre que eu acho, a descrição do produto informa que não pega wi-fi nem ZAP, mas em todos os vídeos eu vejo ambos funcionando. Não sei em quem acredito huehuehue

The simple answer is no. There is no hotspot. If you go to settings you will find that internet can only be shared by USB, which I seriously doubt anybody can figure out how that would work except an engineer that works for KaiOS. Look at the setting menu here: th-cam.com/video/y4N2Vm9dg7U/w-d-xo.html
No mention is made how good (or not) it is to make or receive phone calls. Nothing about quality or reception of actual use to call and talk to actual live human beings.
I live in an area that is densely populated. Cell phone towers are commonplace. Transmission is great in my area with the phones shown in this video, but with every phone I have ever had. I really can't say anything about reception since I am fortunate enough to have great coverage where I live. I always have 4 or 5 bars with any phone. I am located in the Houston area in southeast Texas and the surrounding cities such as Sugar Land, Missouri City, and as far south as Galveston. I lived here almost 30 years and never had any problems with any phone brand concerning reception. It's a blessing from God.
Can I download WhatsApp on either device? Personally, I want a phone with the following features: 1- Supports 4G 2- WhatsApp 3- Google Maps 4- Mobile hotspot Features that are better to have, and if they are not there, there is no problem: 1- NFC 2- Download banking applications I want your opinion, brother
No. You cannot download WhatsApp. I checked the Kai Store and it's not there and it's not natively included. Only the Alcatel Myflip 2 has WhatsApp. As far as Google Maps, KaiOS does have a very rudimentary version of Google maps. It can get you to places but it's difficult to use. Generally, I wouldn't recommend it, as you could crash your vehicle. Mobile hotspot is not supported. There's no NFC. No Google Pay at all. I checked for banking apps and there is literally zero banking apps. None what so ever. The only flip phone I can think of that has something close to what you need would be the ZTE Cymbal T, which is no longer in production but still available on eBay as a used item. I reviewed that phone a few years ago and it's a basic Android phone and has everything you would expect from Android, except it doesn't have NFC.
Yes but they are very simple, like "Tank Shooting Duels", "Ice Hockey Shots", "Goalkeeper Pro", "Parking Car Driver", "Chess", "Bubble Shooter Lab", and many other basic games.
Did you get the iPhone 15? These Nokia flip phones are practical for making calls but I think Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip could push them out of the market. The difference is price, and it's huge. KaiOS needs a lot of improvement or else they face extinction. So far I wouldn't bet on the future of KaiOS devices. They haven't put out an update in over 2 years. Not even a minor patch. I'm dying to get a Samsung Z Flip but I don't have the money.
@@skywind007I see where your coming from but those who want a dumb phone like these Nokia don’t want2 screens like the z flip and motoroler although I also got tired of not being able to buys a good dumb phone and was considering buy any of these it’s just when you open the screen it’s a normal smart touch phone and I don’t have the decipline yet to get any of them so here I am trying to get one of these first. I got the cat s22 it was great but too heavy and I reluctantly returned it.
You are right about Kai OS I actually have an iPhone 13 mini that I got in December of 2022 I got the flip phone in August of the same year I lost the flip phone for about 7 months after I switched to T-Mobile with my family so I have unlimited data on my iPhone, I was excited to find nokia again. I also hope to get one of the smart folding phones like the Samsung z flip or the Motorola razer, when I get older and have the money. Yes I’m in my teen years.
Very true. I meant to get the red one but Best Buy was out of them. By the way, I looked at the Nokia website and they don't really sell phones anymore. They just have a link to the HDM website and their new devices have the HDM logo. This is déjà vu. I remember when the new Nokia Lumias didn't say Nokia anymore. They were branded "Microsoft". I had a feeling this wouldn't end well. Seeing a Microsoft phone was like seeing a Toshiba perfume. Stamping logos on random generic products has never been a brilliant marketing strategy and Nokia just doesn't learn from its mistakes.

Do it have whatsapp ?
@@ifrahchoudary2706 no that model does not. I think google killed support for Kai os or something. Maybe there’s a phone with what’s app
19:58 I'll be honest the t9 predictive text works pretty well. Not sure whhy people dislike it since it takes less button presses to type a word
Thanks for pointing out that newer models don't have voice to txt anymore, google must not allow it?
me gusto cuando dijiste
"no es tan difícil, pero al parecer hay gente que necesita ayuda extra"
hiciste bien😊
You should do more reviews I like it
Hi Skywind, does this model able to answer phone call just flip open, without pressing the answer button?
N end call by closing the flip.
Yes. Go to SETTINGS, then choose PERSONALIZATION, then go down to LID, and click on FLIP OPEN TO ANSWER and select ON. Now you can answer the call by just opening the lid, and end the call by closing the lid.
can you connect wireless earphones to these phones?
can you text while talking on the phone or read an incoming text while on the phone talking?
if you're already on the phone talking to someone and let's, say someone else tries to call you, can you see the incoming number and switch over to the call?
Two things: 1. Does the 2780 offer wi-fi calling? 2. Does the 2780 send/receive group texts as a single message, or are they split up?
i have the 2760 which does have wifi calling so I would assume the 2780 does too. For me on my 2760 groupchats are not split up
One thing i was wondering you didn't touch on is can you plug in the headphones and talk through the microphone?
I'm no longer able to use this phone since my carrier uses eSIMs. But I did a test with the sound recorder app on this phone (Nokia 2760) and recorded some audio and yes, it can record directly from the headphone microphone. I would assume that if it can record from the headphone mic, then you could talk on the headphone mic over a call. I would assume that but I don't know it for a fact.
Is there any significant difference between the two? 2760 keypad sucks. When you type, itll duplicate button presses which is very annoying.
The keyboards are the same on both phones. Exactly the same. No difference. If you don't like the 2760, you will not like the 2780. I also have an Alcatel Go Flip and the keyboard is better (in my opinion) and it also has STT (speech to text) which allows you to speak something out instead of type. I find that to be a game changer.
@@skywind007 does the Alcatel Go Flip have a micro-USB charger or a type C charger?
@@TheDon2087 The Alcatel Go Flip has a micro-USB, unfortunately. So it's not reversible.
Does it have hotspot function?
Both Nokias have voice search for maps... instead of choosing the red search... choose the yellow voice search right next to it. 🙂
Hola, a la fecha actual se puede instalar WhatsApp y facebook o ya será en vano?
Ninguno de los Nokia en este video permite bajar ni Facebook ni WhatsApp. Pero el Alcatel MyFlip 2 si permite bajar ambos.

Voice security maybe?
Is it Android based??
No. It uses the KaiOS operating system, which is very inferior to Android or iOS. Your expectations from KaiOS should bee extremely low. By "extremely low", I mean crazy low.
@@skywind007 Yes...
Unfortunately this device isn't available in Brazil. I'd like to buy it =\
Também queria, mas sempre que eu acho, a descrição do produto informa que não pega wi-fi nem ZAP, mas em todos os vídeos eu vejo ambos funcionando. Não sei em quem acredito huehuehue

I have that phone
Does it have hotspot/internet sharing?

Why is the box said micro usb, but the phone has usb c?
You are right. I didn't even notice that. I just checked both phones just to be sure, and they both use USB-C. The box is wrong.
Can I download WhatsApp on either device?
Personally, I want a phone with the following features:
1- Supports 4G
2- WhatsApp
3- Google Maps
4- Mobile hotspot

Yes but they are very simple, like "Tank Shooting Duels", "Ice Hockey Shots", "Goalkeeper Pro", "Parking Car Driver", "Chess", "Bubble Shooter Lab", and many other basic games.
I’m watching this because I’m am going to get one
Right now I have an iPhone that I upgraded to from the flip phone

I like Redheaded phones.
I want a flip with voice to text.
The Alcatel Myflip 2 has speech to text (STT). I did a review on that phone.
@@skywind007 Thanks,I have not seen one yet as they seem to be locked but what I really want is a very low tech flip phone that works good.
People forget that these phones are supposed to be dumb phones
And yes, there are people who want to disconnect from technology a bit
wow
Can it open bank account?
If your bank lets you do that on the website yes
My 2760 has speak for directions.
Get rid of awfull background.
Do anybody want to give you love peace and happiness and joy and salvation and eternal life if u confess your sins
