>>107013550What is the holy grail of dumbphones then? And don't say some obscure phone from 1998. It needs to work on todays networks.
>1990s>People are obsessed over 70s nostalgia >2020s>People are obsessed over 2000s nostalgia
>>107013598probably some japanese phone that only works on their networks
>>107013605what tech example of 70s shit were people obsessed with in the 90s?
why is every "dumb phone" shilled here really just an android phone?
>>107013196usecase for avif/av1 hw decoder?
>>107013331As other have mentioned, the name comes from CATterpillar. The company that made it is more known for making various construction machinery, uniforms, helmets etc. I suppose this too is more of a worker's phone - no frills but will survive falling into concrete mixer and can be used as a hammer in a pinch.
>>107013649It's the future and given how this thing will cost like $50 to appeal to boomers you won't have a lot of space to play with.4GB may not be enough for H264 and JPG but it's actually pretty usable with AV1 and AVIF.
>>107013598Mive, Kyocera, 2014 Samsung flip phonesNone of which use the same bands that American carriers do
>>107013187
>>107013187>can't use encrypted commsabsolutely garbage, even a mediatek chinkshit is better than this shit that can only be used to send sms
>>107013698>A white Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 is $50 more expensive than the same phone of any other color due to Tumblr and TikTok sooner chicks
>>107013746Supply and demand, yes
Is the Uniheartz Titan really that bad?
>>107013187>Runs android "lite">dumbphoneNo
>>107013187no, i daily use one and have for months nowthe keypad barely works, you basically have to use a t9 keyboard manager app that lets you set a double click delay to avoid pressing the button "6" and getting "6666666" without the CAT specific android install the orange button does nothing and you cant configure it with stock android 11 go that all of these ship with nowi keep running into:>open the phone>screen stays black>keypad is illuminated>lid screen is all white>opening and closing the phone now does nothing for the next 30 seconds before it fixes itselfoverall bad, avoid, its a shame because otherwise its actually a pretty good phone, audio quality is nice on both ends, the buttons feel good, it gets an absurdly long battery life and has swappable batteries that cost 10 bucks, this would be great if the keypad worked and the android install wasnt borked
>>107013493A mile is long too but we don't call them caterpillars per hour.
>>107013698Nokia 225 4g or TCL flip 20, you can even get the latter as prepaid. No gps, removable battery, no kaios slop
>>107013187Sonim, use Sonim. I've never owned a smartphone. Sonim is the only flipper that isn't a total piece of shit. Buy it direct from Sonim unlocked and then connect it once you get the phone in the mail. I have the XP3 which is a little bukly in the pocket. The XP100 looks badass.
>>107014952Oh, one last thing, be sure to match up the specs. don't just assume it will work with your carrier. But it will work with your carrier. If you can build your own desktop you can match up phone specs. Good luck anons!
>>107014271Sonim
>>107013613>punk rock>metal>doing heroin
>>107014271I have same phone and I have literally no idea what you mean about pressing 6 giving 6666666. Also why would you change OS? The android that is installed works fine.
>>107014558>225I have 235. Does 225 also come with useless preinstalled games that you can't play without paying for it?
>>107014952Does sonim have usb-c and headphone jack? And mp3 player?
