Excluded from the selection

Radger F1.

Number of displays: 2
2.6 inches, 320 × 432 pixels
Operating system: Android 4.4.

Price: from 16 721 rubles.

The Chinese love to produce smartphones with a protected housing. Here and the RADGER F1 can be calmly washed under the crane. All connections present on the device have plugs. They allow you to hope for the rescue of the device, even if it fell under water.

This smartphone was not released yesterday and not even last year. In this regard, we advise you not to hope for advanced characteristics. The main feature The device can be considered a battery, the capacity of which reaches 2,800 mAh. The smartphone will be charged not more than once every two days. The rest of the apparatus can be called relatives of superb budget models. A surprisingly small internal display is built here. A 1,4-inch diagonal has an external screen, its resolution is only 128 × 128 points. However, this is enough to show current notifications, as well as dates and time. It is surprising that both display covered with Gorilla Glass 3 glass is not to worry about the appearance of scratches.

The device provides a quad-core processor from MediaTek. Also under the case are hidden 1 GB of operational and 8 GB of permanent memory. Important fact is support gPS satellites And - navigation applications will definitely work properly. And this folding smartphone is capable of transmitting data via LTE networks.

Sharp Aquos K SHF31

Number of displays: 2
Basic screen characteristics: 3.4 inches, TFT, 540 x 960 Points
Operating system: Android 4.4.
Weight: 128 g

Price: from $ 399

Many clamshell smartphones have two screens. Sometimes they are absolutely the same. But in the case of Aquos K SHF31, this is not so. The external display here is strictly auxiliary. It is made by monochrome technology and has a resolution of 128 x 36 pixels. It displays either only time and level of battery charge, or all this is complemented by the date. Type of display The information changes after pressing the shutter button - this is also present here. But the screen is blind in the sun, so you can not always consider something on it.

You will have to disclose this smartphone yourself. There is a modification of this model with the auto-shock button, but it is already completely unrealized to find it - it was rare even at the start of sales. The device is endowed with quite old software. But the operating system works without any brakes, for which you should thank the SNAPDRAGON MSM8926 processor, consisting of four computing nuclei.

Most of all, this clamshell should be pleased with its camera with a resolution of 13.1 megapixel. Also here everything is in order with wireless modules - even LTE is supported. Finally, it is impossible not to mark moisture and dustproof according to IPX5 / IPX7 standards. But it is possible to disappear that the main screen of this device is not sensory. Instead, the touchpad is almost the entire bottom part on which the keyboard is located. The first time will have to get used to it.

Dignity

disadvantages

Operational android system 4.4 Kitkat;
Headphones are connected only through a microUSB adapter;
Not the best viewing angles;

Samsung w2016.

Number of displays: 2
Basic screen characteristics: 3.9 inches, Super AMOLED, 768 x 1280 Points
Operating system: Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
Weight: 204 g

Price: from 70,000 rubles.

This clamshell smartphone on android may seem too heavy. But it has at once two screens created using Super AMOLED technology! Both of them have the same resolution and diagonal. Theoretically use the device can not even reveal it. But if you still decide on this action, you will get access to the physical keyboard.

The device provides an eight-year EXYNOS 7420 processor, whose clock frequency reaches 2.1 GHz. Still under the casing of clamshells are 3 GB random access memory. Everything is in order of a smartphone and with the main chamber - its permission is 16 megapixel. As for the front chamber, it is 5 megapixel. Data transmission here is carried out through 3G, LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and.

For photography, a smartphone is used 8 megapixel rear camera. There is a device and "Frontalka", but its permission does not exceed 5 Mp - this is enough only to make video calls.

In the folded state, the device has dimensions of 122 × 60.2 × 15.4 mm. In short, the device turned out to be relatively compact and easy. But inaccessible for most Russians, because it is possible to buy it only in South Korea - on the homeland of the manufacturer.

Dignity

Relatively low weight;
Under the body is located powerful processor;
Two variants of the colors of the case;
Cute design;
Comfortable keyboard;

Daxian W189

Number of displays: 2
Basic screen characteristics: 3.5 inches, TFT, 320 x 480 Points
Operating system: Android 4.2.2
Weight: 190 g

Price: from 10,000 rubles.

If you want to buy a folding smartphone without spending an astronomical amount, it makes sense to consider Daxian W189. This is a Chinese production apparatus that has the minimum allowable components. For example, there is a main camera with a resolution of 5 MP. The masterpiece to create with its help will not work, but it is still better than nothing.

You can install two SIM cards here. However, it should be understood that the LTE device is not supported, and therefore high-speed Internet access is possible only when connected to wi-Fi network. Also note that the smartphone has only 512 MB of RAM, which will not allow you to keep the many applications open immediately. A dual-core processor from MediaTek will not enjoy the high-speed operation of the operating system. If you remember the interesting possibilities of the device, then only the opportunity to talk to the interlocutor even at the time when the device is in a closed position.

Dignity

Relatively low cost;
There is a memory card slot;
Not very high energy consumption;
Two slots for SIM cards.

disadvantages

Old version operating system;
Bad screens;
Weak components;
No support for high-speed networks.

In the 2000s, clamshell phones were very popular. In those days, many people have smartphones were anything, no one really sought to possess the device with touch display. And clamshell, which is not said, is the best form factor in the usual mobile phone. The screen does not deteriorate, the keys are physical - it's nice to press. It is not surprising that they exist now.

Of course, in recent years, folding cell phones have been greatly degraded. Now you will not find a phone with a huge amount of memory, buttons for managing and supporting advanced Java games. Colding phones 2017 are noticeably easier. In this you will be sure to get acquainted with the selection best models In this form factor.

We draw your attention to the fact that it will be about phones. Smartphones, clamshells - this is a much more rare phenomenon. It is meaningless to talk about them, since to acquire such devices in our country are almost unrealistic.

LG G360 folding phones

It must be the only more or less advanced clamshell, which is actively manufactured so far. The device is endowed with a 3.0-inch display with a resolution of 240 × 320 pixels. This screen places the mass of all kinds of information. This will allow you to quickly navigate through the contact book, finding the necessary records. Another phone has a sufficiently good chamber, the resolution of which is 1.3 Mp. It is usually used to photograph a person to place a snapshot in the contact book. But in the case of LG G360, you can send an image to a computer, somewhere in the family archive - the quality of the photos does not cause disgust. Interestingly, not only the corresponding point in the menu is used to call the camera, but also a separate key.

Theoretically, clamshell phones may well use an elderly person. For this, all conditions have been created here. Large buttons allow you to see even a person with a weakened vision written on them. The SOS button can be useful.

In general, the mobile phone causes only positive impressions. Although certain simplifications even has it. In particular, there is no access to the global web. And with this disappeared and the ability to install additional applications. It pleases that at least support mp3 did not disappear. But the songs will have to contain on the memory card, since LG G360 is only 20 MB. And the phone can be praised over a long time. In conversation mode, it functions up to 13 hours!

Advantages:

Relatively good chamber;
Low weight - about 125 g;
A memory card is supported;
You can insert a pair of SIM cards;
Very good display;

Disadvantages:

Noticeable simplification of software;
No internet access;
No additional display.

TeXet TM-400

Many clamshell phones collect contradictory reviews. Here and TeXet TM-400 did not bypass such a matter. And all the fact that the manufacturer saved on the trifles. For example, he embellished here a high-quality display having a 2.8-inch diagonal and resolution of 240 × 320 points. However, he did not think that such mobile phones were most often used for calls. And it's hard to talk on this phone, since the voice from the speaker is heard, as he wrote one of the buyers, as if from the old radio.

There are no other serious complaints about the device, otherwise it would definitely not fall into our selection. Not everyone likes that installed map Memory is determined only after rebooting. But for such a device it is quite acceptable. Especially inserting microSd map You just once. It should also be noted that without this card, some functions will not work. For example, you definitely do not listen to MP3 music, as she does not have enough space. What is there to speak, even the camera will refuse to work if it has nowhere to save images. However, the camera is installed here "for a tick". She removes badly, but nothing else from so cheap clamshells was not expected.

What device has positive features? Perhaps this is a long time of work - buyers do not complain. Still please can FM radio. However, it is present absolutely in all cell phones reviewed today. But this is a rareral phenomenon. But you need to understand that such a phone only opens WAP sites that are less and less left. Another advantage of the phone is his weightlessness - it is extremely difficult to feel it in your pocket.

Advantages:

Very small weight - only 106 g;
Built in a good display;
There is support for GPRS;
For a long time of work from a complete charge.

Disadvantages:

The simplest camera;
No accessory;
Bad speaker;
Internal memory is completely absent.

Oysters Ulan-ude

Modern mobile phone-Rasculate Most often does not have an auxiliary screen in its composition, which was previously located on the top cover (although exceptions happen, which confirms our rating). There is no His and Oysters ULAN-UDE. However, here at least there are two light indicators. The first will notify the first battery in time, and the second lights up if there are incoming messages. This is how the mobile phone is distinguished among itself such devices.

Like his fellow, the Oysters ULAN-UDE has two SIM card slots. This allows combining tariffs of different operators. Most of the buyer is able to surprise the weight of the device. Total 66 grams, a real fluff! In this case, the device is endowed with a good display, the resolution of which at a 2.4-inch diagonal is 240 × 320 points. Yes, and the battery is not used not the worst - its capacity reaches 900 mAh, which is enough for six hours of work in the conversation mode. The creators did not even forget about the flashlight.

What are their simplifications? First, it is better not to remember about the buyer, as it has a resolution of 0.1 Mp. Secondly, there is practically no built-in memory here at all, so you have to stock microSD card. Thirdly, when the call is not displayed, the subscriber's photo is not displayed, which will also arrange all. Interestingly, in the contact book to any record, you can still attach an image. Disability is observed software. And such small flaws have a lot of small shortcomings.

Advantages:

There are two light indicators;
Minimum weight;
Bright and clear screen;
There is a flashlight, which is included in a separate button;
There is a SOS key.

Disadvantages:

Minor firmware flaws;

A terrible camera.

Lexand A5 Simple.

The simplest folding phones that can be found in many salons cellular communication. A smartphone was created, in fact, the Russian manufacturer. Painted phone black. Only a broken pattern on the top cover can be distinguished from interesting design features. Many would like to see the second display instead here, but not fate ...

Like other modern mobile phones, Lexand A5 Simple supports the installation of two SIM cards. In this case, the device is equipped with one antenna, if only the energy is not transformed at a huge speed. The picture here is displayed on a modest 1.8-inch display with a resolution of 128 × 160 points. It is surprising that the creators have introduced GPRS support in their creation. This means that in the theory, the owner of the mobile phone will be able to go into the global cobweb. But with this screen it follows only to the most primitive WAP sites.

From other pleasant bonuses you can highlight FM radio and flashlight. Also, the device supports playback of MP3 music. But it will have to keep it on. For start music player A separate button is used.

Advantages:

There is a Bluetooth 3.0 module;
There is a flashlight;
It is possible to install two SIM cards;
Built-in support GPRS;
Weight barely reaches 75 g;
Low cost.

Disadvantages:

Land Rover X9 Flip

Mobile phones and smartphones under the Land Rover brand appeared for a long time ago. Their main distinguishing feature is a shockproof and waterproof case. You can random such devices by chance, but for this you must have a certain way to develop stars in the sky. Here is the phone-folding bed Land Rover X9 Flip is also unhappy. And even this is rare in our time phone-clamshell with the screen on the top cover. In this regard, do not be surprised at a sufficiently high price for this device.

You must remember the 2000s, when clamshells were popular and. And Land Rover X9 Flip combines both of these form factor in itself. Also, the device surprises its energy-intensive battery, which is enough for at least a week of autonomous work. And this is with the active use of the device! The kit comes and a spare battery, which is also important.

Modern push-button phones most often do not have access to the Internet. Land Rover X9 Flip is an exception to the rule. It has EDGE support that allows you to ship WAP sites without any problems. Promotes this MEDIATEK MT6252 processor. Also buyers should like a 3 megapixel camera, providing relatively good snapshots. Another advantage of the device is an internal screen - it is sensory. If you are accustomed to smartphones, no one will force you completely to go to the button control.

Well, what can not like the buyer? Perhaps only the weight of the device. Even without the battery installed, it reaches 162 grams. And with the battery, this mobile phone becomes harder to any smartphone.

Advantages:

There are moisture protection and impact resistance;
It is possible to enter the Internet;
It is possible to install two SIM cards;
Built-in 1 GB of permanent memory;
The mobile phone is equipped with two very tank batteries;
The main display is sensory;

BQ BQM-1410 Flower

Choose the first mobile phone of your young daughter? Be sure to pay attention to BQ BQM-1410 Flower. This is the creation of a Russian manufacturer, which can be painted in pink, purple or green colors. At the same time, a mobile phone has a rounded form. Most of all, thereby, the device resembles a cosmetic bag. Also quickly it becomes clear that this is a toy, albeit with the functionality of the present phone.

The device has a tiny display, the resolution of which is 128 × 128 points. 32 MB of memory are present here for data storage. If suddenly it will be needed, you can insert a map microSd memory. There is no access to the Internet here. But, as in the other clamshells discussed in this article, there is a Bluetooth module. This allows you to connect wireless headset. But it is hardly necessary for the child.

On the other characteristics of the device does not make sense. It is important that the device can call, namely, for these purposes it will be used most often. I still can not notice his 68 gram weight, because the child should not wear heavy things. However, made as low mass creators, including by reducing the capacity of the battery. Because of this to use charger We will often have enough (by the standards of push-button devices).

Advantages:

Toy appearance;
There is a FM radio;
There is a front camera;
Minimum weight;
Several color options.

Disadvantages:

Very simple screen;
Low battery capacity;
Quite high cost.

TeXet TM-204

These clamshell phones are one of the most inexpensive in our selection. For extremely small money, you get a device with a plastic case and two slots for SIM-cards. Top cover of nirious clean. There is even no camera lens. Yes, there are no cameras here at all - neither rear, nor frontal! Under the lid hid a comfortable keyboard and a 2.4-inch display, the resolution of which is 240 × 320 points. You can not enter the Internet with this phone. There is no integrated memory here - more precisely, it is minimal. If you want to use TeXet TM-204 as an MP3 player, you will have to stock memory card, which should not exceed 8 GB. Or your choice should be FM radio, which is also present here.

In general, the phone should arrange a person to whom the phone is only needed for calls. Such a user will be able to connect a wireless headset to not be distracted by driving a car. And he will also get the opportunity to combine the tariffs of two operators, since it is exactly that the number of SIM cards can be installed here.

Not bad display;
Low price;

Fly LX610 Mega.

If many modern clamshell phones look out seriously, the appearance of the Fly LX610 MEGA can be called stylish. It uses neat bends here, and the special design of the top cover makes the device memorable. The device even has an additional screen, which is displayed by the date, time and some other helpful information. It is monochrome, so you can not worry about energy consumption.

Inside the clamshell there is a familiar color display created by TFT technology and having a 2.2-inch diagonal. The resolution is 240 × 320 points, like some nokia smartphonesFunctions running Symbian. Everything is in order here and with the camera - it has a resolution of 2 MP. But the most important thing is that the device is equipped with support for Java applications. With GPRS you can download additional programs, slightly expanding the device functionality. But do not forget that there are not so many places here - the volume of the built-in memory does not exceed 88 MB. Anticipating your question, there will be no problems with music and photographs - they can be thrown into a memory card.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to name the perfect device. First, someone he may seem heavy (weight equals 94 g). Secondly, the perfect appearance of the phone is preserved not very long. Thirdly, the device was released for a long time, in connection with what to find it now in stores is extremely difficult.

Advantages:

Cute appearance;
Good inside screen;
There is an auxiliary display;
There is a full support for Java;

Summarizing

Now you know what clamshell phony are considered the best. Buying any of the considered models should not disappoint you. Unless you expect from such an advanced functional device. Unfortunately, the times knowing all clamshells have long passed ...

Have you ever used a folding mobile phone? Or, can you, are you going to buy it soon? Share your opinion in the comments.

The clamshells were criticized even in those times when the form factor was in the trend. Someone they seemed fragile, someone - unreasonably expensive, someone - too feminine (yes, I heard such an argument).

But when it came to updating the phone, even the most brutal men studied the folding market, clearly guessing that there are decent models there.

And they really were.

Motorola RAZR V3.

This gadget became an iPhone of his time. He had an ideal advertising campaign, an extremely competent name ("Raser" - this is not an E398), a chic backlight, a huge screen, a futuristic design, the most powerful materials of the case and a good functionality (naturally, by the measurements of the image device).

Everyone dreamed about Razr: the clamshell was and status, and the youth at the same time. I know the minimum of three students of those years, which after studying worked to buy a device, instantly attractive views in the subway. Sometimes part-time stretched for two or three months, but after the long-awaited purchase, young people were still wildly happy and believed that heavy labor was justified.

Among the girls most fashionable (albeit pop) was a pink version. Among men - silver and black. After the usual V3, a modified V3I with a memory card and an improved camera came out. But by that time, Haip had already passed - the second generation did not repeat the success of the classic model.

Motorola MPX200.

This clamshell received bestseller status thanks to Euroset, which merged a good device for 5 thousand rubles. The cult of MPX200 is explained by three reasons:

1. The word "smartphone" ( smart phone, wow) was quite rare for 2004. Advanced people just started to get used to Symbian, as they rolled out a real Windows, and even in an inexpensive folding bed.

2. Comfortable keyboard. The buttons were large, had a good move and allowed to recruit messages with enchanting speed.

3. Infinite possibilities for flashing. Moto MPX200 in something can be compared with HTC HD2: all adapted for clamshells windows version Mobile is purely of sports interest.

The phone had two minuses. First, the "Euroset" flew to the models with Chinese components, so five thousandth smartphones were firmware as if the brake fluid was poured. Secondly, let it be difficult to believe, the smartphone simply had no camera. She needed to buy separately.

Interestingly, the heiress MPX200, MPX220, also sold well and well updated - a unique case for those times.

Siemens CL75.

In the German company immediately determined target audience - The focus fell girls and women who need a beautiful clamshell within ten thousand rubles. The mission coped perfectly:

1. The phone with the characteristics of the 65th series was awarded the index 75 (apparently the ladies believed that they had the latest model).

3. The surcharge for the form factor was 1,500 rubles.

Outcome: For 7,500 it was possible to take a bright clamshell with a pleasant and understandable menu, and even from a well-known company. In my school, almost all young teachers walked with such: Razr was indefinitely expensive for them, but Siemens - just right.

Sony Ericsson Z530i.

A slightly forgotten tradition from the past decade is the active use of the phrase "Special Edition". SE Z530I, for example, came out simultaneously with the movie "Da Vinci" film. In the box lay panels stylized under the filmoster, and the trailer, soundtracks and quest dedicated to the book of Dan Brown were kept in the phone's memory. Branding was enjoyable and unobtrusive: no one filled out unfortunate megabytes with unstained content.

The Z530i was chosen for the price (less than 10 thousand), the speed of operation (SE was faster than all), the presence of a slot for a memory card and a good sound. But the main thing is that this clamshell made typically Japanese. This manifested in two points:

1. The z530i antenna strongly performed from the corps and allowed to hang on at least ten key chains and shoelaces sold at the time in all markets. This was actively used by the girls who turned the phone to the branch of the shop "all of 30 rubles".

2. The layer mechanism was really unhappy. The phone could be revealed by a sharp movement down, and he did not break. Close up the movement up - and he did not even loosen. Plastic was also solid, so during the falls the maximum paint was erased.

In short, SE cost his money and deservedly entered the story.

Nokia 6260.

Now look at this clash is just scary. She did not have outdoor screen (Yes, and the inner made microscopic), it was objectively inconvenient to control (the keys below the display), its mechanism did not inspire confidence, but she wanted to all who considered themselves.

Trying to understand why Nokia 6260 was so adored for 11-12 years ago, I came to the reviews on Yandex.Market. If you go there, you will be very surprised. People shared their impressions from the use of immortal clamshells and in 2015, and in 2014, and in 2013, that is, a decade after the debut of the model.

Conclusion: Nokia 6260 was a pleasant, original and most reliable. For this it is worth appreciating and remember only with tenderness.

Nokia E90.

Nokia 9300 and 9500 did not cause anything other than laughter. Businessmen walked with inflated cheeks and talked on huge tubes. Then they opened them, as if laptops, but used only a scheduler and text messages. For the Internet, the smartphones were not suitable, because the output to the network from the phone was too expensive even for fond of entrepreneurs.

In the end, Nokia spawned E90. She looked nicely (mainly due to an excellent external screen), worked smartly, photographed qualitatively and was optimal for the Internet. But, as far as I know, the monstrous flaw cannoned not commerces, but eccentric gicks.

The enthusiasts launched an ancient versions of Windows on it, connected to the phone in the periphery (for example, a mouse) and they were swearing at the Doom.

Nokia N93

When I look at the N93, I immediately rolls melancholy on me: I understand that we have lost when we massively switched to boring sensory monoblocks. Just take a look at this folding bed - it is immediately clear that she has everything. Namely:

1. Unnaturally bold corps, which loosened and lighting, but not annoyed.

2. Rotary display - to view movies and video camera mode.

3. Camera with optical zoom (10 years before iPhone 7 Plus).

4. A bunch of lateral buttons (phone mutated in the camcorder)

5. Front-camera (the same rarity for 2006, like Wi-Fi)

I remember well that the Chinese actively copied the Chinese, but they did not work out: in comparison with the original, these plastic insignificance looked just ridiculous.

The Great N93 fell to me in the spring of 2010. I bought it with hands for 3000 rubles, and I was given two batteries. With one phone kept three hours, two more two, and regardless of the loads. On the day at school, this was enough, and I enjoyed a couple of weeks by a tight cladder. Then she began to hopelessly slow down the camera, and after a pair of unsuccessful flashing, the smartphone had to sell for the same three thousand.

The first phone Samsung clamshell appeared in the early 2000s.

A relatively new form factor is interested in fans of this Korean brand in the presence of two connected parts by the hinge, on one of which is the keyboard and microphone, on the second - speaker and display.

In addition, the clamshell, or Flip Phone, attracted the possibility of completing the conversation just slam down, without pressing the excess buttons.

Features of clamshell phones

To the pluses of the phone in the formator "Colding" can be attributed:

protection from external influences - In the closed state, the screen and keyboard of the mobile gadget avoid damage even when dropping;
the inability to accidentally press the button if the phone is closed;
simple conversation completion - by slaming the lid;
compactness. The model with the folding housing is almost always smaller in size of devices with a conventional form factor.

If you compare the sensory clamshells with, you can note such an advantage as the presence of a large keyboard with convenient buttons.

This may be important for those users who are inconvenient to use the virtual keys.

And when talking, the opening phone has large sizes - as a result, the microphone is practically at the mouth, and the speaker is near the ear.

By minuses from using the clamshell phone, both ordinary and sensory include the presence of moving parts - a hinge and a loop.

Over time, these details fail, and repair the gadget will have more often than ordinary models.

It is also worth noting and the inability to open some clamshells with one hand - the phone has to be laid at once with two.

Although such a lack, mostly peculiar inexpensive modelswho have already practically left on the primary market - even with a big desire to buy them only with hands.

In the same 2003, Samsung company put on the market new model With pre-installed operational windows system Mobile 2002.

To access the network, the model was completed with a WAP browser.

And the informativeness of the additional screen on the lid was maximum, as it allowed to learn the time, to receive information about the quality of communication received calls or.

Modern models

Not too inferior to permission and frontal shooting - a smartphone can make a size of 2592 x 1944 pixels.

Following photos and videos can be stored in memory, the volume of which reaches 64 GB.

While the powerful eight-core processor and 3 GB of RAM allow you to run modern and enough resource-intensive applications on the phone.

Another advantage of clamshells is a durable metal case that enhancing the impaired model.

At the same time, the gadget looks quite well, having original design, second screen on the lid and bright TouchWiz interface.

And the disadvantages of SM-W2016 can only be attributed high price (Completely explained by the presence of a double display and powerful parameters) and the inability to officially buy on the territory of the Russian Federation.

For the acquisition of the smartphone will have to use foreign trading platforms.

The Galaxy Folder 2 model is the second generation of budget clamshells with a touch screen.

At the same time, despite the available price (from $ 218 to $ 285 on foreign sites) the parameters of the gadget are not inferior to some monoblocks.

And the size of its main screen is 2.4 inches, due to which it is quite possible to consider the photos made and resplanted over the network.

At the same time, prices almost all such phones are noticeably higher than even more functional modern gadgets.

And they buy them, mostly, only real connoisseurs of clamshells.
