What is/are the differences between the Iris Flip & the Iris Easy? Consumer Cellular's site doesn't list both at the moment to run usual comparison chart (staff sd they are out of stock on one of them, & won't provide means to compare until restocked). Neither Target or Walmart in entire Boston MA area have the Iris Easy Flip in red❣but they do have Iris Flip in red, but I can't tell if buying that iteration will mean loss of some improved function. Thx

Iris Flip runs on KaiOS vs Iris Easy Flip is based on Android; Iris Flip has a smaller exterior display vs Iris Easy Flip which can be used as a camera viewfinder...functions should be similar but KaiOS might have an advantage when it comes to having a built-in app store...core features and performance shouldn't differ that much :)

@BellyLaugher he mentions it at 2:12 in the review - the Iris Flip runs on KaiOS vs Easy Flip is based on Android; the Iris Flip has a smaller exterior display vs Easy Flip...functions should be similar (but KaiOS might have an advantage when it comes to having an app store built in...core features and performance shouldn't differ that much tho)

All these phones sucks.Yeah they're cheap, but they are so complicated to navigate.Are you kidding?An older person wold be lost, the keys are multi function.Just too much to remember The home page is deceptive showing KZbin, which you can only download single videos.What good's that?Texting is very clumsy.The voice to text function misinterprets most of what you say.If someone only needs to make and receive calls and struggle with texting,this is your phone.
