"Heineken's Nostalgic Flip Phone: Stripping Away Features for Boring Charm"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Register
The Boring Phone, a collaboration between Bodega and Heineken, is a novelty flip phone based on HMD's Nokia 2660 Flip that aims to provide a feature-light phone experience by stripping out almost every feature, including Wi-Fi, selfie camera, push notifications, and social media. It features games like Snake and Tetris, a single-core T107 processor, 48 MB of RAM, 128 MB of internal storage, 320x240 pixel displays, a 0.3 megapixel outer camera, and a 1,450 mAh battery. The phone will not be sold at retail, with 5,000 units to be given away as a marketing stunt, and Heineken plans to launch an app that imitates the Boring Phone's UI.
