  "account": "HMD has officially unveiled the Nokia 2360 Flip, a basic mobile phone catering to children, older adults, and users who favor simplicity. The handset incorporates Family Assist, enabling family members to remotely manage its settings via their own smartphones. Additional features encompass an emergency SOS button, parental controls, and a removable battery offering up to 15 days of standby time. Distinctly, the Nokia 2360 Flip operates solely on 2G networks as opposed to its recently launched HMD 2660 Flip Senior Edition, which supports 4G.\n\nCrafted with a 2.8-inch QVGA main display, the Nokia 2360 Flip features large menu icons for effortless navigation. An accompanying 1.77-inch QQVGA external screen enables users to view basic information without opening the device. Equipped with a physical keypad, dedicated volume controls, and an SOS button, the device measures 111.85 × 55.56 × 18.95mm and weighs 121 grams. Sporting a loudspeaker and compatibility with hearing aids through the HAC2011 standard, the Nokia 2360 Flip is available in Charcoal, Burgundy Red, and Teal hues.\n\nPowered by the S30+ operating system, the Nokia 2360 Flip houses 4MB of RAM and 4MB of internal storage. Users can augment storage up to 32GB using a microSD card. The device accommodates dual Mini SIM cards but is compatible exclusively with 2G GSM networks operating at 900MHz and 1800MHz, rendering it incompatible with countries or networks that have ceased 2G services. Additional features include a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and FM radio. Nevertheless, the Nokia 2360 Flip eschews smartphone applications like Google Maps or YouTube.\n\nA key attribute of the Nokia 2360 Flip is its Family Assist functionality, allowing another individual to configure and manage the phone remotely. The Family Assist application, available at no cost on Android and iOS, empowers family members to add contacts, set reminders, adjust volume, and configure emergency contacts. This system communicates with the Nokia 2360 Flip via SMS, negating the necessity for a mobile data connection. The handset also features a dedicated SOS button, which, when held for three seconds, automatically dials a predetermined number and sends an emergency message to up to five pre-selected contacts. Parents can further employ School Mode, limiting the device to displaying the clock and enabling emergency calls exclusively. Other parental controls encompass limiting calls and text messages to vetted contacts and disabling specific features like the camera or games, all protected by a Family PIN and configurable directly on the phone.\n\nThe Nokia 2360 Flip incorporates a basic QVGA rear camera equipped with an LED flash. This camera is intended for straightforward photography rather than high-resolution images. Boasting a 1,450mAh removable battery, the phone can provide up to 15 days of standby time or 27.5 hours of talk time on a single charge. However, actual battery longevity hinges on network conditions and usage patterns. HMD has yet to disclose the Nokia 2360 Flip's price or confirm its availability in specific markets. The device’s reliance on 2G connectivity is a crucial factor for prospective buyers, especially in regions where operators have already decommissioned their older mobile networks.",
