Alcatel bringing a Flip Phone to Canada with Google Assistant

Just had a discussion the other day about not being able to find a flip phone anymore... and I don't mean the foldable kind.  There is still a cellphone generation that doesn't want all the bells and whistles and just likes that little flip style cell.

Well, Alcatel is bringing the Go Flip 3 to Rogers and the neat thing is that it will run with the Google Assistant...


...so, it's a nice hybrid in between the old flip and a smartphone.  Not going to run Android, but a simple KaiOS that still lets you access the main Google items.




Rogers has updated the pricing.  It's $75CDN outright and $0 on a plan.  https://www.rogers.com/phones/alcatel-go-flip-3?colour=black&storage=4gb
