The Vfone MOON A20 Smartphone is likely a WELCOME in disguise...and it doesn't do a whole lot

Warning: This video may be slightly boring and unhinged but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless
Timestamps are integrated into the video for each segment.
I filmed way too much footage for this phone so if you need to skip through the video then that's completely understandable!
======================================================
Greetings and welcome to another Cheapo Phone Review!
Here's another phone brand you've probably never heard of!
And that is Vodafone! Wait...no...you've been bamboozled! It's a Vfone!
It's also a Moon. Aww. Calling it the Sun would've made it sound more Powerful.
KEEP THE SUN IN MIND ACTUALLY
Well since I recently looked at the Konka, I've had this to the side that I forgot I had for a bit and then when I rediscovered it I've thought "when do I want to look at this" - I threw this together and here we are.
Yeah there just wasn't a whole lot of fun with this. It wasn't as funny as the usual WELCOME devices so stuff just sort of worked. Some funny bits here and there and I went a bit hectic with editing to try and help the mood of the video.
I promise next videos will be a lot more entertaining if all goes to plan.
I really want to work on the phone tour episode 1 so then I can show you all what is part of my collection.
Anyways, I'll leave the description here and let the video speak for itself.
Enjoy!
Also bonus "Phone/VFone" drinking game if you want :)

[@SMOOREZ]

Greetings everyone and welcome back to another cheapo phone review! I've had this sitting around for a while and since I recently looked at the Konka, I thought may as well keep the cheapo phone train going. Yeah I really hope this wasn't a downer of a video - let me know what you thought of this one down below and if you know of Vfone in whatever country you are from! Also System Files for this is in the description if you want to go through them and see what you find! Thanks again for watching, be good people!

[@thewubmachine840]

Its National cheapo day

[@TooColdToBeSober]

I think you need to start a merch store. Shirts and stickers with Smoorez phrases. Might I suggest, "Ask me about my big sperker" and simply, "Yes.", both with a Smoorez logo. Could be yuuge! 😁

[@MarbleSODA1]

that ntc stuff is National Telecommunications Commission 35:29 a government agency in the Philippines who's responsible for the supervision, adjudication and control over all telecommunications services and radio and television networks throughout the Philippines.

[@paulette_hinai]

5:47 lemme just put this info here anyway NTC: National Telecommunications Commission It is a government agency responsible for supervision, adjudication, and control of telecommunications, radio broadcasts, and television in the Philippines

[@MichaOstrowski]

Google really dropped the ball with the "Make and manage phone calls" permission. What it essentially means is that the applications asks to read the device ID...

[@TransbianKitty]

Wow, that was the best Costa Rica in 4K sounded, haha!

[@kennethpaulcalangi4122]

NTC is a government agency that regulates telecommunication devices here in the Philippines

[@psychorabbitt]

As soon as you open the box to a phone and find a cheap, clear plastic case - you know it's going to be a Welcome.

[@meggie160]

or xiaomi😂😂

[@eerienah]

i’ve watched all of your vids and these consistent uploads are slaying honestly. giving us more content to consume!!!!

[@notion8759]

Purrr Yass

[@rozasupreme]

The IMEI shows as a VFONE Moon A10, weirdly not teh A20

[@AguevadoConCaraDeSonso29]

After seeing the whole "quickshortcutmaker" part, I feel like that this (probably) feels more like a "SUSAN" M5 but with slightly modern specs: 3G connectivity, Spreadtrum-branded quad-core CPU, 1 gig of RAM and 8 gigs of eMMC and running on Android 6.0... Dear god

[@Yippeee5959]

Im trying to find these type of phone but can't find none, meanwhile this channel gets tons, i appreciate it, at least im enjoying this.

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

25:50 Music needs to have phone access so it can know when a call is coming in and pause the music.

[@TalasDS]

I don't really think so. I'm using musicolet as my music player, which is pretty simplistic, yet it pauses music whenever a call comes in or lowers the volume wheb other media requests focus. And yet, no phone permission required.

[@paranoiia8]

Plus they need contact list for share option.

[@ChaosEnsues-pb8wg]

This phone is slower than my Grandad, more frustrating than trying to get me to commit to a long-term relationship

[@samholdsworth420]

Long-term relationships aren't worth it

[@tdata545]

I wish we had cashies here. I know where I live there's a lot of THRIFT stores with the "HOTTEST" items in stock (I don't know if you Aussies use "hot" to mean "lifted"/"stolen" like we do in the states) that I've not been into. We have GoodWill as well, but the ones I've been into always smelled and gave off bad vibes.

[@iSamYTBackup]

cool new vid in such short time

[@tdata545]

HOLY EARLY IPHONE CHIN AND FOREHEAD.

[@8ballfpv]

cheeky qrcode swap there... your counting how many people pause and scan it arent you! :D

[@stanthetank]

Thx from Germany for your Videos.

[@mattdavis9601]

One thing I think this Vfone might excel at is retro game emulation. One of the problems with most phones is that if you use them with a controller + phone clip, the phone's heft from having a reasonably sized battery and a metal frame perched up high above the controller makes for a less than ideal balance/center of gravity. With this thing being so cheap, err environmentally conscious, it doesn't weigh much, which means it'd probably feel pretty good strapped to an Xbox controller. Put Retroarch on here and you can rock out with all your SNES and GBA favorites comfortably. That's literally all this is good for in 2024.

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

22:52 Wow, this is the best jellocam feature I've ever seen! ... What, you say it's not a feature? 😮

[@oneonlycargeek9057]

Hell yah another smoorez video!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

This phone wins the award for being worse than a welcome device and having the slower processor of all the other phones as well. It was pretty horrible in all the test so, 3/10. Don't worry for the video, it wasn't boring at all! It was funny af

[@fantacola0x044]

I would love to see you try to use some of the normal apps people often use on their daily basis like Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Telegram etc. Really curious how those would work on these types of phone.

[@MystificationSwarp]

Vfone? More like VIFON instant ramen

[@jaypayne8341]

Love your videos you help me sleep, n o joke ❤

[@thany3]

It'd be interesting to see if face unlock properly *fails* when you show it someone else's face. Because for a cheap phone, I would be fairly unsurprised if it unlocks after just seeing any face.

[@SPARTAN_Cayde-26]

KZbin works on my Galaxy S5 that runs Android 6.0.1 so that might have just been outdated YT version.

[@robertusthemac]

The camera detail isn't terrible, but far too washed out, no dynamic range

[@thedarkdragon89]

RIP Akira Toriyama.

[@hmklegend2791]

42:46 Absolutely man, hope u treat urself great too...

[@andrasszabo7386]

If THIS was slow and boring, get yourself a Cubot C-10 and do a review on that 😊

[@r3n846]

Don't think I can get anything nice at 4AM. Also give us MP3 of your "terrible" song pls.

[@daviddunmore7076]

The Jello-cam jive me motion sickness

[@josephmburu9335]

I'm from Kenya, if you see a phone being sold 5200 kes. That's the bottom barrel of all phones. I don't think there is lower than that

[@user-mt7uc1cj9w]

5:51 It's a thing from Philippines, as the name says, it focuses on telecommunication

[@notion8759]

The camera layout looks like a Redmi note 10 5g (I have one and it does look similar) but I could be wrong

[@paranoiia8]

only Vifon I know is one that make cheap instant noodles :D Note: 25:50 Apps ask for those permission because they need access to contact if you want send image/video to someone and they need to know if they need to stop specific actions(eg video playback) when you get the call. So if app have share option it will ask you for call permission as contact list is part of call app.

[@CASSXD03]

Completely useless comment, but!, I have a phone with 6.0 Marshmallow on it and KZbin still works!, I have version 17.34.35. Lollipop is the one that doesnt since sometime in late 2023 : (

[@SuperGateway]

all i need is that mediakek gif lol

[@FranklyPeetoons]

I thought Pringles® cans were made of cardboard

[@SMOOREZ]

Oh yeah they are. I thought they had a very thin lining of aluminium inside but doesn't seem like it.

[@mandyk4988]

Ugh lol my dad got one of these online for my mum, won’t take any SIM card, I took it to try to get it going but no so I just use it to listen to podcasts etc on wifi when my other phone is charging. It’s a nightmare

[@Veta_YT]

i literary predicted that it woud have unisoc soc. and it has :D

28:14 vanced doesn't work anymore unfortunately you would have to get some sort of alternative

[@ImigrentfromMars]

This reminds me of my zenfone laser 2 . other than the camera set up this maybe a copy of it,

[@TestECull]

8:47 call me strange but I ALWAYS use landscape mode. I ahve an app to force it.

[@wolf.04210]

05:55 NTC is from the Philippines

[@RockRedGenesis]

RIP Knock-off Cashies! In honor of you, here are the lyrics to the Cashies Song: Oh I found it at Cashies mate Where you can find your dreams They’ve got Wares and chairs And a dog downstairs Some cubs and tubs And hats for scrubs And out of date movies So get on down to cashies mate You know it’ll change your life So get off the floor Get out the door Forget EBay they charge you more And lose your life at cashies

[@Arindam.Sarmah]

Hey you need to check out the SAMSUNG GALAXY A14 5G ( THE BUDGET PHONE BUT IN A GOOD WAY )

[@Dy2024Gab]

12:25 it looks like Vivo system face lock.

[@SickOfU101]

Ntc is approved in the philipines btw

28:13 My Galaxy Note 4 is on Android Marshmallow and it still plays KZbin video as normal

[@MrJacksonOldd]

There are a lot of these totally-not-Welcome electronics on Amazon/Flipkart. One of the most infamous brands selling this kind of crap is India's I-Kall

[@MrJacksonOldd]

Vfone doesn't look like a specific regional brand though, i think it's just the typical slop that somehow ends up on Amazon's bestseller lists

[@MrJacksonOldd]

I feel like you could find a very similar phone on Alibaba or another website - i think i remember finding an XGody there

[@MrJacksonOldd]

Or at least i think it was one - it had a design ripped off from Transsion Group like the XGody 13 Pro (which is a ripoff of Infinix's Hot 30)

[@crazynote3781]

10:15 I am from Iran and in Iran we still have 3G and 2G active with internet 😂😂

[@SHADOW_MASTER05]

T-mobile in Poland has a phone called the tPhone or something and it is a clear rip off of an iPhone and it has a pro version and a normal version but it seems to definitely be an aliexpress phone and the specs are awful

[@amazeyourself_]

coincidentally, there is some old iPhone clones made by CECT with the tPhone boot animation

[@TSNESPNnascaricecream8]

28:04 KZbin outdated in play store from android 8.1 supposed android 11 this phone

[@Dy2024Gab]

My VFONE couldn't work RADIO

[@tigersusyt]

why he keeps saying he's song is bad? it's good

[@NickNashRises]

How to extract system files from an android?

[@amazeyourself_]

you have to root the device and use ADB to get the files from it.

[@SMOOREZ]

Nah don't need root access for just the apps and such Turn on usb debugging and use adb and do "adb pull system" and anything from 1.x to 7.x will extract everything. Past that you have to pull each folder individually. That's how I've done it. For a complete dump then you need to use a tool to be able to do it which is quite iffy honestly

[@NickNashRises]

What does ADB stand for

[@amazeyourself_]

[@amazeyourself_]

@@SMOOREZoh. thanks!

[@theredytper]

First KONKA, now VFONE? These brand names keep getting weirder and weirder every time…

[@stevenspencer5367]

Well is phone is slower than me full stop. It's been awhile since I moved at any speed unless in a car. I'm on holiday in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland at the moment. The router quit working the other day and I had barely g reception on my mobile and I think more preferable to the Vfone A20 lol The camera was so washed out, but Ripley still looked amazing. So effing cute. The video was much worse your poor gnomes looked bleached. The speaker (sperker) wasn't too bad in fairness. Although not something I'd use as a dedicated music\media player. So bland and blurge it is lol😀
