The Motorola MicroTAC family of telephones debuted in 1989 as the successor to the much larger models of the DynaTAC series. MicroTAC telephones were compact and unique in their folding design – the microphone was installed inside a hinged flap, which covered the keypad when folded. The device also had a retractable antenna, which made it even more convenient.
Early models in the MicroTAC family worked with first-generation analog cellular networks. The International 5200 model presented here was designed for second-generation digital networks (GSM).
