TCL Flip 3 review: I used this retro-style flip phone for a week like it's 1999

Quick Summary:

I got to relive the satisfying shut of a flip phone.

The TCL Flip 3 targets our grandparents — the folks who used rotary dial phones as kids, enjoyed twirling their fingers around corded landline phones, and used Motorola flip phones in the early 2000s.

When I ran any tests that required the internet (e.g., running a YouTube video to examine the display), I noticed that the Flip 3 had a few seconds of lag loading sites like YouTube.
