I have been using the Kyocera Dura extreme on Verizon for over 2 years now. It’s an amazing phone. I don’t really miss much. It can do what I need it to do…my only negative is that I haven’t been to successful when trying to use it to use certain navigation apps should you try it. It’s better to just remember the turn by turn of grab an atlas. I have recently been thinking about trying a newer phone …but there’s really nothing this phone doesn’t offer. It’s dumb enough and smart enough…so it’s really been hard to part with. Nice and loud speakers too.

The best phone I ever had is the LG env3. But support for them has been dropped. I currently have the Sunbeam, Kyocera, TCL flip phones and they are good. I would say the Sunbeam is my favorite of the 3 because thr touch screen makes texting much easier. The TCL is amazing value for 1/10th the price. My current daily driver is the HIT K1 which has a physical QWERTY keyboard. The other one that's pretty good is the Sonim XP5s

i am looking for a secondary utilitarian dumb phone great for gps, easy to text on, and any occasional information i need to look up. however i don't really want to spend more than $50. i see some of the japanese phones on ebay for $50 like the 902kc and AQUOS KEITAI 2. but would you recommend something specific for my needs? i am waay to addicted to my smart phone which has almost crippled my life. i live in the US and there are some carriers like red pocket thats only $10/mo with 1gb of data which would be great not having an expensive second expensive phone plan.

The thing with Japanese phones at that price is either they don't come unlocked or they don't work in the US. Try getting a cheap CAT S22 because its going to be closer to the $50 mark with good GPS.

I like the form factor of the qin f21 (the pro too, and also the qin f22 pro and non pro). But I would not by anymore a xiaomi device as some people specialized in privacy and safety seem to suspect that xiaomi is seeking way too much for your data. The appeal of a dumb phone is also privacy protection. With xiaomi I can not be sure anymore. (That’s bother me because the qin serie is really awesome besides this)

For Straight Talk they have a Nokia 2760 model for $30 alongside a TCL brand as well but I do agree with how phones nowadays are getting too big. I’ve owned an iPhone 8 Plus for four years and I always thought that the 5.5” screen was plenty good enough but when I upgrade to the iPhone 15 it’s going to be 6.1” for that screen size. Smartphones nowadays are getting so big that they’re basically like mini tablets now.

@@issahumps Can't get phone calls or messages without wifi :( as far as I'm aware anyway. I've just deleted everything off my phone, made it black and white, and turned off animations/transitions. Makes it boring enough to almost be a dumb phone, but retains nice-to-have features like checking buses and stuff if I need to

this video was very informational!! i've heard great things about kyocera flip phones :) though i was wondering how you would review the kyocera kyf42c, which i have also heard good things about. it runs android 10 so i believe it would be an okay option in 2024! 💜

Hello, I'm in Europe and i'm looking for à Phone with only whatsapp with why not waze, maps or Spotify, but i don't want browser, social medias or youtube. Is there something for me ?

You can't have that exclusive set up sadly. A Kosher phone would be the closest to that. Check K-Mobile in the UK and ask them if they could load WhatsApp for you. You have to learn to customize your own phone for this setup to be possible and not install extra apps you don't want. Something like the TTFone 970 can help with that.

@@JoseBriones Thanks for your answer, but would you know if I could remove the apps on the TTFone? Because the K-mobile is only available to students in the UK from what I understand.

I'm waiting for a flip phone that is BIGGER, easy to text on, has maps and an excellent camera. Not a folding screen, but a hinge. The cat s22 is thicker, easy to hold but the screen is tiny. I find the thin phones difficult to hold. If the cat s22 screen went to the edge it would be so much better!

why are none of Unihertz's phone on your roster? It had better be because you don't know about them, but that seems extraordinarily unlikely considering the fact that you're neck deep in this dumb phone niche.
