I came across this video yesterday that I really liked, kind of a mini-documentary about people who’ve stuck with flip phones this whole time, never made the switch. I’m one of them.

I like technology, but every time I think about getting a smartphone, it does not spark joy. I feel much happier when I look at flip/feature phones (currently using a Coolpad Snap flip phone and thinking about pulling the trigger on a Sunbeam F1).

Watching this video has strengthened my resolve to avoid using a smartphone for as long as I can get away with it. Do you identify with any of the people in the video?

    Hey this was really cool! Thanks for sharing :)

    I’ve been thinking about trying it out for a while but not sure if it would work out for me. However I have an old Android with only Spotify installed that I take to the gym and I’m really liking it, maybe I will start using it more in other places as well.

      Glad you enjoyed it! It’s nice to see different people’s situations.

      Since I posted that I got the Sunbeam F1 and it’s great, much better than any other flip phones I’ve had, so I can still happily avoid getting a smartphone and all the negative (to me) issues that come with them.
