Announced in Korea under the moniker LG Gentle earlier this year, the Wine Smart is making its way out of LG's homeland and landing in countries around the world. This unique device is a blend of old-school charm and modern technology, catering to a niche market that appreciates the simplicity of a flip phone.
There was a time, not so long ago, when flip phones were all the rage. But since the rise of the smartphone, they've fallen further and further out of favor. However, LG's Wine Smart aims to bring back the nostalgia of flip phones while offering the convenience of a smartphone. With its compact design and physical keypad, it's a refreshing alternative to the sleek glass slabs dominating the market.
LG's Wine Smart is an Android flip phone designed with the messaging elderly in mind. It offers a familiar interface that is easy to navigate, making it perfect for those who may not be tech-savvy. Whether you're sending a quick text or making a call, the Wine Smart provides a simple and reliable communication experience.
Like AOL subscriptions, the flip phone seems to be an anachronism, a leftover fragment from another age. However, the LG Wine Smart proves that there is still a demand for these nostalgic devices. With its classic design and modern features, it strikes a balance between past and present, appealing to a wide range of users.

The Wine Smart's 1,700mAh battery is about the right capacity for a screen of this size. Storage space is on the lower end with 4GB internal memory, but it can be expanded with a microSD card.
LG's Lollipop-powered flip phone, the Wine Smart, is now available globally. Late last month, LG announced the Gentle, a flip phone running Android 5.1.1. Now, the international version, the Wine Smart, is hitting store shelves, offering users a blast from the past with a modern twist.
Previously announced as the retro LG Gentle, the LG Wine Smart is set to launch internationally. This vintage-inspired device combines the best of both worlds, offering a nostalgic design with the convenience of modern technology. Whether you're a fan of flip phones or simply looking for something different, the Wine Smart is a hidden gem worth exploring.
