We all want these types of phones. It's a necessary. Smartphones are a huge time wasters. A phone is a tool for basic needs. It's not a gaming consule, camera, TV etc.

For me Uber and Whatsapp are non-negotiable, unfortunately you need whatsapp for any basic thing, from ordering food, to keeping in touch with family and scheduling appointments.

[@marveled.maggie]

even though i love my phone it feels like i can't control my screen time and even with efforts of not being addicted, i still use it too much something like this would be perfect for me as long as it has whatsapp, spotify and bluetooth connection with earbuds i'll be looking into buying something like this in the future

Quick question. I bought the f22 pro and it’s just BIG. How do you feel about this and the form factor? Do you feel less compelled to use it? Also do you feel the keys more clickable or with more clicky feeling than the f22, if u know what i mean? And is it possible to change the messsage app and phone apps on these? I don’t really like the software of texts. I have the f22 pro up for selling due to this…😐 Thanks

[@JoseBriones]

Yeah. You can do install those apps. Also, the F21 is definitely less compelling to use due to its size.

I had to give up on my Chinese Qin F21 Pro as texting on it without a Nokia style T9 predictive text IME was impossible to get working & the single character text entry was just too slow. The installation of apps using APK's was an issue too. Now that I do have another android phone tho, I might experiment with the F21 Pro. It's sad really as the phone size & connectivity totally suited me. 🙁

[@reggiep75]

Having seen the latest vid ('Xiaomi F22 Pro vs F21 Pro vs F30'), I might look back into using my F21 Pro as I may have been too hasty. My issue with previous versions of the Traditional T9 IME had been the back button/delete button issue, which was not the case in the video, so there may be life for my F21 Pro. Keep up the good work, Jose.
