For maps, I, personally, would get something like a used garmin etrex vista (these things are ridiculously cheap nowadays) and just load fresh OSM maps on a memory card + take some spare batteries (you know, just in case I get too carried away while browsing POIs 😂)

I just bought a Garmin and put it in my car. It works great for navigating and I have always preferred it to using a phone for that. I've had a Garmin since they first became available.

I bought this phone thanks to your video, now it's my 'daily driver' and my life is better for it :)

I tried. My dealbreakers were Signal (my primary form of communication), TOTP codes, and privacy (feature phones are nowhere near as privacy-respecting as GrapheneOS). What I did though was: I uninstalled every app that wasn't necessary for my daily on-the-go needs, made my display greyscale, installed a super minimal launcher, and turned off notifications for everything except messages and calls.

Have you considered buying a digital camera?

I love this! Thanks for sharing!! I agree about the iPad for GPS alone! I might do this as well if I choose to trash my smartphone.

I love this video! If you want a way to capture those special moments, you could get a cheap point and shoot analog camera :) you'll really cherish those pictures in a special way :) Also, it might seem silly but I've literally bought a walkman. Having a cassette tape in my Walkman makes me really get to know and cherish the music. It's a great experience :)

Buy a gps for your car , no planning needed

Welcome to everybody’s life pre 2007

Does the phone support mp4 files?

And as for social media - it’s a complete waste of time. What are we trying to prove?

This is great, but maybe don’t be so strict… use a smartphone for like 50% of the day, and the other 50% turn it off. Apps like Google maps are amazing, and incredibly helpful.

Is that a Singer sewing machine in the background?

You are one the few genZ who could of survived the 90s (maybe not the 80s). Congratulations, we can play pogs together.

I can not find a phone dumb enough.

Update ?

It has too much tech are there any real dumbfones out there?

I have iPhone I don't want to be on facebook all the time nor the other places I look sometimes because I don't want to think about what everyone else is doing I don't care how they live their lives it's up to them not up to me don't use navigation everywhere I go only if I know if I have to be there at a certain time otherwise I've lost track of time otherwise I manage fine even if I have a smartphone don't care about other people what they should or shouldn't you only have to manage one life, namely your own life, so it's not difficult either😊

Go drink ginger juice 😂

Hi! Planning to buy a dunb phone soon, living in Australia. The only features that im after are Whatsapp and Maps. You mentioned WhatsApp but what about Maps? Thanks in advance!

And not a big problem if you lose it or get stolen.

Great video, am a retired healthcare provider. The farm experience must be wonderful. Good luck in your career 🖖

I agree with the iPad comment. It is really different from the phone. It's not always in your pocket. You have to put some effort in to scroll endlessly. I've just got myself a Nokia 2660 Flip and I love it. That combined with an old GoPro and a notebook and I've got most things I need. I still have the iPhone for when I need maps or my toddler wants to listen to music in the car. We've just started deciding in the morning what we want to listen to each day and then downloading it.

Map books are still for sale.

Thanks for sharing the experiences :)🙏

The about 3 years ago my smart phone started to die and i was just going to get a dumb phone but the week i was going to get it my partner one a smart phone in an arcade game and i used that for 3 years and it started playing up again and ended up buying the aspera r40 (the phone in the video) and im so glad i did vut i wish i got it 3 years ago

Fifth reasons, its make you a smarter person !

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s the first time I see you. You are very pretty and your lovely smile makes me think you’re a good person 😊

Just get a digital camera and a street directory like many other people!

I just deleted all the apps that would distract me tbh

General question to the comment section; What would be the biggest reason for you personally to buy or be interested in a dumb phone, if there would be nothing holding you back? And if there are things holding you back from buying one, what are these things? I ask this for my own research on some stuff in regards to dumb phones.. Thanks in advance for your answer ;)

What an awesome video. Thanks for making it. I don't have a dumb phone because sadly I need Whatsapp for school and work, but I uninstalled literally everything I could from my smartphone and disabled all notifications except calls. I'm loving it so far. I only check WhatsApp a few times a day like an email. Feels like I'm in control again. For music I bought an mp3 player and only play music I've downloaded there. Im glad I watched videos like this one on TH-cam to motivate me to do that. Feels so much better

ive been using a dumbphone for six months straight and get along quite well. my nokia 3310 has a built in mp3 player tho the sound is not really good. i buy mp3s online so the music i have is actually mine. i consider buying an mp3 player but havnt decided yet. my car has a navi system so no problems there. i bring my wallet along every time i leave. i do all my stuff after work on my ipad (wifi only) like whatsapp, email, selling/buying stuff and so on. switching to a dumbphone was the best decision in recent years. it gives me peace not having the worlds knowledge and news in my pockets. it slows down my daily routine which is a good thing. i can do all things what smartphone users do can - when i come home and not in between working, having a break and having conversations with colleagues

What's wrong with your voice‽‽‽‽!!!!!??????!?!?!?!?!?!?

The irony that im on.my smart phone researching how to cut ✂️ my smart phone

It’s very awkward to see how many of you young people struggle and searching for options to live………………….like we did.

I just love your videos 🌸👶🏽

Not a dumb phone. Just a limited smart phone. At an outrageous price of course

this channel is so sick , i dont even know how did i endup here but i absolutely love it!

Hey, thanks so much for this review! So helpful for someone looking to get a dumb phone. I do have a question... Can you delete Facebook off it? Thanks Anna

Please use. App not buy a scam

hi there.. just a random person .. i just want to let you know that you have a beautiful smile.😃

As a college student, I recently switched to an mp3 player for my study music. I struggle with decision making, especially when it comes to what music I’m going to listen to for the next 3 hours, so the limited capacity of an mp3 player saves me the choice, as there’s only so many songs to choose from. Furthermore, you can’t get notifications on a mp3 player, which saves me struggling with “do not disturb” (which can never seem to quiet all my pop-ups).

Can I use this phone in America? I am sold and want to purchase one.

I'm planning on getting a flipphone that'll only give me whatsapp, also a compact camera and ipod for music... I have my laptop for learning, youtube and pinterest if needed, but only at home. I am SO done with this phone and social media, there's a whole world out there and I'm missing it

Uber and some qr paying apps for the bus and banking apps are what's keeping me away from my dream dumbphone :(
