Today china can produced $89 smartphone with - unisoc T606 (8 core CPU ARMv8.b cortex A55) - 6.7" IPS screen, - gorrila glass 3 protection, - 4GB LPDDR3 RAM, - 64GB emmc 5.1, - 50MP camera, - Bluetooth 5.1, - 4G VOLTE. So there's no excuse dumbPhone need $300 with the spec from 2018. Security update for what if you can't install banking app...... Most of this dumbPhone is Just cash grab by company because they knew people Who refused to pay for smartphone will buy this overprice dumbPhone. I can understand if they produced dumbphone similar quality from 2006 - 2011 but the quality is not there

also, make sure to pick a 4g model, because most of dumbphpnes are 2g, and lots of governements decided to turn off 2g and even 3g in 2024/2025. plus, 2g brings parasites noises to your fm radio and other stuff.
@Mo7amedIhab
@Mo7amedIhab 5 ай бұрын
They'll turn off the 3G first since it's more problematic and because 5G runs well on the 2100 frequency band which is the main frequency band of 3G. 2G still has got a while. Also, it depends on the country you're in and how many people have moved and switched to smartphones in that area.

Apple just updated their OS to iOS 17 which has a new feature called Assistive Access. This feature turns the UI into an extremely simplified "baby" interface which makes it look like a dumbphone with huge icons. Each app icon is so large that only about six can fit on a screen at one time. This feature might be good for people who struggle with distraction as well as people with certain disabilities.

I can't consider Jelly 2 as a dumb phone but more of a niche android phone (and it's actually powerful, from battery to performance). It really just happens to have a very small screen, thus it being a niche thing to own. Hopefully you get your hand with Mive Style Folder (korean phone), its a flip but as good as Jelly 2 (runs in Android 11).

Accessibility to Signal with the Punkt MP02 is actually huge. Would a phone like the Light Phone 2 be able to utilize an app like that in the future? Is that possible with e-ink devices? I've been angling towards buying the LP2 based on my own research and your helpful videos but staying connected to certain people through Signal is enticing.

The fingerprint reader on the back in my opinion is superiour to that on any phone face/screen.

Still mid-video so I'm not sure if you found any, but if I'm being honest, my ideal flip phone/dumb phone would be extremely basic. Just calling, texting, email, 4G data and uploading custom notification sounds to it. That's all I'd really need in a flip phone, especially considering I'm planning on downgrading a lot of my stuff just to simplify my life. Why do I need a full-fledged computer in my pocket when I have a perfectly good (and beefy) gaming rig as it is, you know? I don't need social media on the go, and if I want music on the go, well that's why I'm gonna start a cassette collection again :p

I got the CAT S22Flip based on last years best of list. I fucking hated it, it was slow, it was so heavy and bulky, the battery life was miserable, I really never enjoyed using it when it did come time to needing to use it. I ended up on the Xiaomi F22 Pro, and I'm absolutely loving it. I now feel more than comfortable leaving my full size smart phone at home and just keeping this and my pocket because it isn't such a miserable experience to type on and the software doesn't seem like it's running about as smooth as a potato.

I recently bought a brand-new MotoG 5G Stylus phone on eBay for $44. The seller had five more. Price is no longer a consideration if one wants a top tier phone.

I'mma defend the phone buyers. If you want to spend your money on that phone, go right ahead. Nobody is stopping you, don't listen to people who try to tell you it's "wrong" to buy what you want to buy.

the lightphone seems a tad too small, or at least the screen is. Regardless, how does that work with apps like DHL, which is a very useful app to fetch delivery from a packbox, or a train ticket app. Do you never use any of these app, like uber etc? I'd love a minimalistic phone without the bloat, which i consider stock android as well, especially since android only gotten worse is the "smart" objective (Around Android 5 is was already great OS), but it seems there is no middle ground. Either you get bloat or literally only a phone.

I don't use those apps. I just use web versions via laptops. For Uber, I call them with their new phone service or plan ahead with the web browser.

my only like in all dumbphone is F22 pro.. just because its only an android phone touchscreen with keypad..and just like feature phone..the chipset is the most powerful on all dumbphone you mention on this video..that can do android multitasking and a advanced feature keypad phone.. all youve already mention on your list cannot do as,much as f22 pro in terms of performance and multitasking
