Slide phones combine many of the advantages of a flip-open clamshell design with the traditional one-piece ‘candybar’ mobile phone. The keypad is concealed behind the screen and can be revealed by pushing the front of the phone upwards. It results in a handset that’s convenient and compact, with many of the phone’s features still available when the keypad is hidden away.
Sliding Mobile Phones
The slider design is particularly useful for camera phones, because the camera lens can be protected inside the slide mechanism. It’s also used by MP3-playing phones, enabling you to see details of the current track without sliding the handset open.
You’ll find slider phones from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, LG and Samsung at Mobile Phones Direct. With a comprehensive choice of tariffs and networks, we’ve made it easy for you to get connected.
