Pros and cons of slide phone

When it comes to the pros and cons of slide phone it has very aspects which has to be kept in mind. It boast a large screen and are eye catchy. Aside of looking cool and being fun to use slider cell phone has few advantages such as the sliding mechanism itself is stronger than the hinges on a flip phone, which means your phone may last longer, easy to carry even having a long calls even they can hold a full QWERTY keyboard without widening your phone or forcing the keyboard keys to be extremely tiny.

However it expose all the scratches and grim on cell phone early, more vulnerable to breaking if it has been dropped. Another problem is of slider phones are key locking. Though the key word are protected if used correctly, many sliding mechanisms are sensitive enough to open inside your purse or bag, leaving your keys exposed. As mentioned above the keypad is always available for use so it simply means that the dirt, dust, grime that are ever present almost anywhere humans frequent can. Besides it is unhygienic and detrimental to the operation of phone. Sooner user would have squishy buttons altogether or may be some how missing.

Pros and cons of flip phone

Particularly, flip cell phone more popular in use. A flip phone is straightforward and foolproof generally. It’s keypad is not all the time stay opened or not need to worry about not putting button lock on before we throw the phone in our pocket. Slider phone now mostly have many interesting feature with touch screen, soft touch buttons. Closing the cell phone is instinctual. And user even feel good when they flip the phone and their keyboard and memory is clean and safe, ready to go either no random calls were done. People could complain few years back that the flip phone is not reliable but now joint are made good and strong. besides user friendly, very economical. Even flip phones have dialing pad on the front and then flip open to reveal the full keyboard.


However, it can be chunky. The need to flip the phone again and again distracts the user and get frustrating for a longer use. Constant opening and shutting down phone leads it to the breakage. In camera or web browsing it is not user friendly therefore, not allow for rich texting. If the joining machine of the flip phone become jammed, user will not be able to open the phone and use it thoroughly.

The flip phones tend to break easily and are the most difficult to repair as the cellphones is in two pieces and the spare joining chassis is not found easily in the market. The Slide phones are less prones to such accidents but their flexi-cable suffers wear and tear after a large number of opening and closing of the slider...The flip looks cooler and sleeker to more people while the slide phone is somewhat cool but it's more reliable and lasts longer.
