Never had a flipphone but I would imagine that features like: opening with one hand, FM radio, and a good microphone, and builtin games are a must. I’m gonna get a refurb (excellent condition from amazon) Samsung flip3 5g so I’m hoping that I can open it with one hand, and I’m a bit sad that’s there’s no FM radio on it. But a lot of comprises are made when buying former flagships. (No SD card slot, no FM radio, no headphone jack.)
I don’t remember phones ever having FM radio as a norm. Yoy could listen to stations that were playable online if you had data. But that was before streaming is what is now.
Very common before 2010. As far as I know the fm decoder was integrated in the SoC itself (at least it is so in modern SoCs), so it’s not even that demanding on the design. Probably not a requested feature, which is a bit sad
I just don’t remember it. Also had a Zune at that time haha
