A smartphone inherently has hardware features like a big screen, huge haptic keyboard, fast processor that make it optimal for viewing media and social media scrolling through posts. Sidephonenhas a 2.8 inch screen. You won't be doing any enjoyable social media on it so it can't be classified as a smartphone.

It's a dumb phone that just so happens to have smartphone capabilities with Android.
>>
>>110156239
It actually has 2-3 active use the standby time is around 10 days depending on the charge.

It has a 2000mAh battery with a small screen, efficient OS and mediatek processor.

If you left it sitting without using it at all it would probably go around 10 days

>>110156460
It's 3 days active use, 8-10 days standby. Also the unihertz is just a smartphone with a keyboard.

A dumbphone has to have the hardware to make social media scrolling bad but still have enough power to do maps and Whatsapp.

If you have no need for any of the apps listed then why aren't you using a simple shitty nokia 3310 with just calculator and SMS? You don't because you're a larper.

>>110156486

You're describing a small smartphone. A dumbphone does not run full android. End of story.

Most phones dont come with a headphone jack for good reason because they are shit and on cheap phones they have poor audio DAC processing because the phones are cheap with buzzing and interference, so either poor or larp. Also your water resistance goes to shit.

You were never going to buy the phone anyways with a headphone jack or spend money on any new phone. likely a larp.

Wrong. Find one with a t9 dumbphone form factor with small screen, 2000mAh battery, keyboard thats swappable with qwerty too, that is running degoogled custom android, ships to the US, works on ALL US bands with full coverage, at a reasonable price within $200-300, that isn't a flip phone, that has an actual 12mp+ camera with decent quality where its usable, and where you can buy it and it will arrive to your house within a week. If you find one, then you'll be right. Otherwise you're wrong. There is no other phone, so it is unique.

Closest you can find right now is the cat s22 and it has a terrible camera.

You just want to be a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian because you have some ulterior motive that makes you seethe at the name of this phone, not because you want to discuss any of its unique aspects.

Mudita is okay but its too expensive at $400 and the screen limits in actual use.

Mind one phone isnt a dumb phone, its just a smartphone

cat s62 isnt a dumb phone, its just a smartphone

Jelly star doesnt have a proper t9 or qwerty keyboard for typing.

F1 Horizon Bluebird is a dumbphone, but it doesnt have a web browser, which makes it pretty much useless in everyday life.

>>110156876
Subjective definition, and shilling for other phones that would also be considered smartphones in your opinion, but hating on sidephone that does the exact same as something like a bluebird or cat s22 means you have some ulterior motive.

Also bluebird isnt in stock and many of those phones are smartphones, they don't limit you from social media by hardware or software.

Unless it runs Android Donut, choose one. A quick visit to r/sidephone shows that people who actually use the phone regularly are constantly complaining about the battery dying in half a day.

have you considered having a stronger will? every time you get the urge to doomscroll... you just don't. how about that? do something productive or creative or something. or embrace the doomscroll once you realize your existence doesn't really matter and doesn't influence anything. as long as you've got the basics covered (food, shelter) you may as well doomscroll all day for all I care.

You didnt prove anything. Also they fixed the keyboard issue by making it an app instead of the system setting which was fixed weeks ago in a software update. I have no issues. As for the battery life, dont have any issues. I get battery for multiple days. Seems like you like making things up, since you have some ulterior motive. If you dont like it leave, but you wont because you're awfully invested into something you supposedly don't care about :)

If Uninstalling social media apps truly worked then smart phone addiction would be solved already. It's time to admit it's a problem.

The first step to getting help is admitting you have a problem. No different than a drug addict. The second step is making sure consuming social media is unpleasant as possible. Some people will be fine with the side phone because the screen is a small as hell and not enjoyable for media consumption and others might have to go further with a eink phone

In either case, the time wasting doomscrolling will stop

Looks fine but the battery is absolutely ass and it doesn't charge fast? Pricing at least not worse compared to many others, but still shitty imo.

I also need my banking app for 2FA to access my bank's website on any other device.
I also need an Android/iPhone digital ID app from my government to access my country's tax agency's website and file my taxes.

There are some ways around this but they are really clunky and actively discouraged by the banks and government.
You're essentially forced to have either an Apple or a Google controlled phone in my European country, this is how dependent we are on America.
Even our digital ID app is owned by an American company now.

Why the fuck does the navigation app need my contacts?

Android is made by Google you dumb fuck.
If it runs droid, its googled.

WTF is with that keyboard? one drop and you lose it forever in a drain.
Then its de-toggled also XD

The product sucks just from the info you gave.

3 day battery? My 13 promax can do 3 days if I use it as an adult (I have no youtube installed, no social media, just messaging apps).

Control yourself eh, do not outsource your discipline to malignant companies that will go bankrupt in 3 months and you lose support for your product overnight.

Buy an iphone, use it like a man - responsibly. And enjoy best overall PHONE experience.

If you want a pocket PC, you are out of luck anyways and should suck Droids cock daily and enjoy feeding China and Google with every info imaginable.

Android is open source. All the people that have tried and tried and tried to make linux, sailfish on mobile be the next android killer never worked because of APK. You arent going to convince millions of devs to port whatsapp and a bunch of apps over.

Same story with .exe on linux desktop. People still use windows games for gaming through proton. If it couldnt use that translation layer, people would forget about linux tomorrow. Its still reliant on windows for gaming at the very least until they start making new linux game ports which hopefully after linux reaches 30% marketshare in the next decade theyll start adding.
