I can't believe newer phones like this still use a Java OS instead of some crummy android skin. It's kind of cool though

[@spazmk4t]

they gotta make em insanely cheap somehow

[@Biaanca5036]

I'd rather they stay as basic feature phones 😶 android'll KILL someone. My grandparents had stripped down android flip phones and they're so annoying. They used to freeze and require restart all the time. They would stay in menus even after closing them. And if it got one of those emergency broadcast messages it would keep the screen on _permanently_ in the middle of the night until the phone was dead. Sooo many annoyances that you never want on a dedicated communication device

[@Flopster101]

I don't even know where they still get the SoCs for these, they're soooo old

[@AlexGamingConsole]

​@Biaanca5036 that's because the specs on the phone sucked. Nothing to do with Android. You should assist them when buying phones cause clearly they don't even know anything about phones having specs

Oh no! Not that startup sound! I for fun bought a "smartwatch" from wish just when the whole smartwatch era had begun. And it had the exact same start up sound. It still hauntes me today. For some reason the watch had a reminder for drinking water, that you could not turn of, even when the watch was off. So in the middle of the night, the alarm would go off that you had to drink water, and the only way to confirm that you had drank water was to turn the watch on.

With these phones, you can normally connect them to your smartphone, and make a call over bluetooth through your smartphone, so you could try these voices, i don't know if the call thing works on iPhone, but it should work fine with android
