Thankyou very much for this vid. Im a 17 year old guy whos just gotten way to sick of my smartphone life. I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. It's an amazing phone I enjoy using tremendously...however, I do find addictive habits with it that I wanna get away from. This phone seems like the perfect buy for me because I can still operate it as a basic android phone, just using email and messenger and such, whilst also enjoying the vintage feel! Nevermind the fact that it also very strong and I am a criminal for dropping my phones in the past one too many times. I am still going to use this incredible phone at home for video making, creative projects, video watching and video call, but I wish to use this phone when I am outside so I don't have something to completely distract myself from the real world and I can push myself to be more social, more in tune, appreciating life and not wasting it on a mere screen. Just bought it a few days ago and I'm pretty convinced I got it from the same seller as you. If that is the case, I am glad to see that it will probably function well. I hope you enjoy using it and I look forward to a new lifestyle.

Glad you liked the video. I totally agree with the fact that people nowadays spend entirely too much time on their phones. While smartphones do come in quite handy so that we can speed up various tasks such as sending an email, getting some information over the internet, going from point A to point B etc., I'm willing to bet that people spend most of the time on their phones just doing casual nonsense. I hope you can find the exact sweet spot of balance in your life when it comes to technology and how you use it, because there are way too many more interesting things to do out there. About the phone, probably the same seller who knows (I paid like 69.99 usd open box - unlocked), but this phone can definitely take a beating (and I think I may be the only one in my city if not in the entire country using this model, as this was made only for the US initially). It is not the greatest phone out there but considering its price, I can say that I'm pretty satisfied with how it performs. I'll probably start to dismantle it just to check what's inside out of curiosity. But anyhow, I plan to make more weird reviews in the days to come, so you can subscribe if you want to see more. Have fun out there!😃

While this phone with its small screen is not going to replace the benefits of the larger screens on my Pixel 6 phone and larger tablet, I have been able to read emails and even books comfortably on it. And also access apps I use when I need to, which is nice (albeit slower). Typing with the small Gboard is far from smooth but helped by the word suggestions that appear. Not as easy as with the Pixel 6, so I dictate whenever I can, which works well. An issue I have is that the caller on the other end sometimes says they hear an echo of their voice. Especially when I use the speaker. Is that something that happens with you?

@tiberiumaxim

No issues there with the echo but I 8/10 times i can't use the speaker feature. Also if I press it against my shoulder when in a phone call, I lose signal and the other guy can't hear me well. Other than that, I randomly hear a sound just like windows notification sound when in a phone call. I find this last thing to be very strange.

There's no 3.5mm jack for audio, instead you get an adapter from 3.5 to usb type C. As for bluetooth, it works with bluetooth headphones though if you fold it, the conversation will close.

But other than that, the screen is pretty resistant.

You are right about people spending so much time on their phones. One would think that after so much time spent using technology we should be surrounded by superhumans by now. And yet with all the available tech stuff that we have and use, 2 wars are ongoing, we're all in debt, pollution is rampant, society is becoming more and more biased, easy to manipulate and more divided than ever, at an individual level, people became stunningly egocentric, selfish, indifferent and whatnot. I could go on with this but I think it'll do for now... All in all, it seems that we're not doing so great, and I hope that we ought to be looking a little more at ourselves in a mirror rather than at an image on a screen after it had been edited to flush out our true identity with all the normal imperfections that we all posses. I guess the most logical follow-up question should be... Are we even human anymore? I may wind up making videos about things that truly concern our lives on this channel but we'll see. Now getting back at the phone stuff, keep in mind that the screen is quite small and typing is somewhat difficult on this phone, if you compare it with a standard smartphone. Now I don't want to tell people not to buy it, but just to make sure they understand what they are getting themselves into. 😃

Probably because they couldn't really target a certain segment of potential buyers within the US. I don't know really, I'm just guessing that it didn't pan out as expected and they weren't willing to venture in or simply didn't see other possible markets for this phone, outside of the US. And the phone is really mediocre, in a sense that if you were to spend 200 dollars on a phone you could get some of the cheaper smartphones out there that perform better overall, except the rugged part. Still, it is a remarkable phone to say the least... I personally dig it.

Probably in the future I will refrain from doing silly material though I can't make any promises. Now I could have filtered this comment out, but out of curiosity and fairness, I chose to keep what youtube considers negative comment filtering disabled to see the entire picture of how people view what I do. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate any piece of advice and/or feedback. And I encourage people to say what they have in mind. And finally in regards to the more personal aspect of what you wrote there, I'd like to assure you that my financial status (not that it should be anyone's business) is pretty ok, I don't need an Iphone, and I wasn't under the influence while recording this.
