Motorola FlipOut Mobile Phone Review

Introduction

Motorola Charm, Droid X or Milestone XT720, these three mobile phone names, as you know already, function with Google Android. The Milestone XT720, announced in early June was no exception to the rule and was also embarked Android in its Flash version (2.1). Faced with the shadows made by the models mentioned above and especially to compete from other brands have also chosen to include Android and lots of social predispositions, what chance has got the little FlipOut, natural replacement of Microsoft Kin explosive sales? With its small size, funky colors and amazingly easy to show us around the maze of communication, let us see the test of this phone like no other has given us.

Design and finishing

At first glance, the Motorola FlipOut surprised us because of its square shape, with dimensions of 67 x 67 x 17 mm 120g, the Motorola device will appeal to anyone whose first selection criterion is portability. Remember the tamagotchis? The FlipOut is almost designed in the same spirit. With its touch screen and hidden rotary qwerty keyboard, the phone seems to prevail in the ruthless world of smartphones.
When closed, the screen is even more highlighted. It shows three touch buttons: left for menus, for welcoming environment and had to go back to the right. When you slide the screen to the right, an alphanumeric keyboard with mini directional pad included appears.

It is noted on the left button of the mobile to raise and lower the volume on the top lock and for the key in and if turned off then a 3.5mm jack to plug in your headphones can be noticed. On the right side, just at the door, a microUSB for data transfer but also charging the mobile is included.
With pure side design, the color blends FlipOut with matt chrome, for us, the rear seat is orange, but the motive is also available in blue, green, pink and black.

Handling and overall use

The FlipOut slide has a system that seems very fluid and strong. Regarding autonomy, the phone can hold two full days usage of battery (calls, internet ...) a good average if one takes into account the wealth of the system from Android. In addition to this, the phone is very ergonomic. What you will certainly regret is the low resolution of the screen that displays a poor color rendering and sharpness.
