Stay far away from opera browser.

Please don't stoop to promoting spyware!

[@kierenalvarez]

It's jammed packed full of chinese spyware... What a joke you promoting that while talking about malware on the phone! Disappointing to see you can be paid to scam your audience.

[@WildWildWeasel]

The "fake" camera is what they used to call a depth sensor, basically for portrait mode photos and whatnot.

[@priyanshuyt2913]

fun fact : if you actually cover up that sensor, it does affect the portrait photos (essentially making them normal as they don't have any data)

[@WildWildWeasel]

@@priyanshuyt2913 eeyup it basically only gives the other sensor some depth of field data for the portrait mode to work. I found out about this when I got a Samsung A01 in early 2020 lol

[@Diaryofprav]

​@@WildWildWeaselI found out about this through your comment 😭

[@rain666RB]

your a smart dude man, also thank you for this I was so confused😭

[@KOSMOS1701A]

i used to get a government phone, it was some old model of ZTE, so i assume that the government gets in touch with various budget manufacturers and offers them a bunch of money for lower end phones they can use in the ACP program.

I’ve found like 3 of these lying on the road over the last few years. All of them were missing the battery and looked like they were ran over.

[@SirAzur3]

That phone seems pretty good but with some of the previous lifeline phones a cool life hack is to put the sim card in a better phone like a second hand iPhone or Samsung and it will work if it's unlocked

[@knightsurda]

can confirm, i have one that sits on my desk for literal emergencies. As in if people cannot get a hold of me on the phone I carry with me and its urgent, to contact me there. That old 1st gen SE sits plugged into the wall and unconnected to Wi-Fi, it has come in handy a few times when my cell phone reception has gone to shit since its one of those 'find a signal and pull' kinda deals i think. Lucky for me, should my main phone get disconnected for whatever reason I can just pop the sim card into my phone and run with it, granted it has limited data now with the funding having run dry but that's not much of a problem these days with WiFi being practically everywhere.

[@TicTacBell_]

Looks like a welcome phone 😂😂

[@JurassicLuigi]

Here in San Francisco I've found 7 lower-end phones like these in like 2 years. They were 3 different models and I was surprised when I found out these were Obama-phones lmaooo. They all worked. One day I asked my mom's nurse about it and she told me people often get these phones and sell them immediately after to get some cash for more cigs. It seems like this is tax money well invested. It keeps the "medication" dealers' business open!

[@fred-youtube]

They should just give feature phones out.

[@IshtiakKhan]

I've been using Opera for 17 years now

[@Klonoa0]

PLEASE SAY YES FOR MORE VORTEX PHONES PLEASE GUYS.

[@ricanhavoc215]

I have one and I'm in PA. It's terrible. Sometimes it doesn't make calls and a lot of times I can't even open the text app. It does get a little bit of data per month but it will only last a few days then you're completely cut of from the internet unless you buy data. I guess it's better than nothing if you can't afford a phone but Cricket and Boost have better phones for free

[@johnzoid74]

when did you get yours?

[@fred-youtube]

Try disabling the built in apps that you don't need.

[@Beatlesfan19977]

That phone looks really cool for a free phone! I always have low expectations for cheap or free phones/tablets.

[@fred-youtube]

Unfortunately Android 14 needs at least 6GB RAM and a 2.4ghz CPU to run smoothly. These phones have much less.

[@_SGTM_]

Bro that phone looks like some samsung galaxy phone, id like to see you check more vortex phones

The acp program was supposed to end or resume or sumn like that on June 1st of this year so idk. Edit: BUY EVERY VORTEX PHONE TO REVIEW IT lol.

[@johnzoid74]

thank you- yes I updated with pinned comment and description as I learned through comments. I was confused because the contractors site still read as an ACP provider

hahah 😂 I cannot activate the phone so didn’t put the effort

[@No_one15]

Thanks for reviwing a gov phone

[@tylerlogsdon8623]

ACP isnt a thing anymore

[@johnzoid74]

I mean.. they’re pushing hard as hell to extend the program and they’ve depleted the fund. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) ran out of funding and was officially paused as of June 1, 2024. Some households received partial subsidies in May, but the program has been inactive since June. In July 2024, a Senate panel approved $7 billion in additional funding for the ACP, although this funding has yet to be fully authorized or implemented. Until further legislative action is taken, ACP remains inactive, but eligible households may explore the federal Lifeline program, which offers ongoing, lower-cost internet options.
