Difference between past and present

[PongRareRare]

I previously bought one of those flip jap phone (maybe around 5 years ago) but last time the battery life was very very short. There were a lot of problems/inconvenience faced by me. Contact naming, the hypersim thing, hard to get signal, reset of signal which requires another phone, sms 160 char limitation.

Since now most? of them are using android os, can anyone tell me the difference between the phones from the past and now? Is it still troublesome to own one? What are the limitations?

Flip phones in 2015 are changing.

Fujitsu will be releasing an Android 4.4.4 flip phone for DoCoMo's 2015 Summer while Sharp has already released an Android flip phone for AU's 2015 Spring Model.

I currently owe a F-02D (2011-2012 model) which has decent battery life considering it is a portable light show! It does not suffers from hyper sim or poor reception/signal and is a great phone for basic usage. SMS limitation is still at 160 as well.

I will say flip phones are much much better than the ones you had back in the days. In terms of functions and speed, it will not win any smartphones but design and size wise, they'll win anyday.
