I would love to see companies release more flip phones with this vintage style... because for example the Samsung flip is nice... but it's not the same as a flip flop... It would be great to have a phone with modern technology (a more powerful android and better performance to use basic applications at its most modern versions) and a classic look, with a separate keyboard and screen...
I have one and love it! I am from USA and its a beautiful downgrade while still be in touch, but also limit the phone so it's "JUST A PHONE" I have stopped doomscrolling out in public, able to do things i wanted, more time on my hands and focus on whats more important than being on my phone. Now for those in USA who drives and uses google auto or apple carplay this feature is not available on the phone at all, so if you rely on those I suggest getting a data sims card and put in the smartphone so you have access to data which should give you access to using JUST THE GPSes. shut off the data when not using otherwise ur wasting data for notifications if you still use it for other apps. Otherwise Mive is great phone for not-fully-committed-dumbphone.
The way you designed your phone with stickers is so cute! I also have a mive phone as well, but I am too scared to put anything on it...should I try stickers too?
If you're wondering if it'll work in your country, try asking chatgpt what kind of bands the phone uses then what bands your carrier in your country uses, then make it tell you if it works
you can put an externe storage I guess, behind the battery. "32 GB of storage / up to 512 GB of external memory" if you can check that, I don't know if it's micro SD or SD card
I'm soooo tempted to get this phone. My Samsung flip broke and the need for the older flip phones just got worse. May I know the built-in memory capacity of this phone? I was told it's 32GB. I don't really game much on my phone anymore since I had to get a temporary phone, but I've gotten used to it. I just need to have my basic necessities (i.e. FB, Discord, IG, YT & email access!) Is it possible to add more memory with an SD card? What's the highest memory we can add to it if so?
hi! does it support banking apps like gcash? im planning to get it as a secondary phone but i'd need to use gcash for store payments and so far i havent seen reviews abt that
I had this phone, sadly I had to return it because it didn't work in Europe (Croatia specifically). But overall I think it would be a really nice daily carry for anyone who can get it to work in their country!
I would love to have a phone like that but im unable to find out whether or not it can be shipped to Norway. Is there any other site that is legit that sells this phone? :)
@@chewyro_chewyro Thing is, I am terrified of getting scammed xD I dont know what sellers on Ebay or just online in general that I can trust that aint legit, you know? So idk, I really wanna have that phone D: My inner millenial (spelling??) is crying for it D:
Sooo I can’t say for sure as I’m in the Philippines, but I heard it DOES work in the US. From what I’ve read, it could be limited to at&t at certain bands:(
@joyfulstarr thanks i read that freetel wasn't as solid as alt mive I think i'll get the mive when i get a good deal And keep my smartphone for Android auto in hands
I downloaded nova launcher from playstore, as well as icon packs. The one in the video is called crayon icon pack, I believe. Another similar looking one is called olympia icon pack As for language, I don't think you can download other options. There's only English and Hangeul.
does anyone know how i can add another language to my keyboard on this phone? i added another language to gboard in settings but it doesnt seem to work. the 12key keyboard installed on the phone only has korean and english.
hello guys!! Do someone know if there was an lg mivebut with older android version?Because i found this phone in my country but seller say its a lg mive but with android 7.Im so confuse.....I found information about mive with android 12.Please help meee
I really like to switch sa "older style" na flip phone, but I can't find the drive/push to totally let go my current smart phone. I don't use SMS anymore, even phone calls (only banks and scammers call me #pighati). But I really really like this Mive coz of the Android v12 in it.

I just ordered one. Im SO excited for the experience tbh. I miss this type of technology. Thanks for the great review!
@@stevenspecht001 wooooo excited for you too! Setting it up and customizing are the fun part!
I'm planning on getting a dumb phone for the new year to really start cutting down on my screen time, this is a really good video to watch!

Hi I’m from the US. Where can I buy one?
@sagitterriost I bought it on eBay for like around $200
What service do you use?
@roach7202 I have Verizon
Yes I would like to know what service you use too! I'm curious what carriers it works with
Please keep doing this. Reviewing flip phone
The way you designed your phone with stickers is so cute! I also have a mive phone as well, but I am too scared to put anything on it...should I try stickers too?
Thank you! I say go for it! 😂
yay an update! it's in the mail for me, probably getting here in a couple daysss :)
Omg!!! Excited for youuuuu
how was it? did it do everything you bought it for?
Try the Mode1 Retro 2 in white color, it runs newer version of android and a not bad chip
This is def my favourite out of the ones you showed, and people say it works in europe! it's def on my "to buy/request for birthday" list
If you're wondering if it'll work in your country, try asking chatgpt what kind of bands the phone uses then what bands your carrier in your country uses, then make it tell you if it works
@@askeladden7845bless you
Mais um video relaxante gosto muito do seu canal esses celulares de botão faz tempo que não vejo por aqui no Brasil mais acho bem legal
thank you! ☺
@chewyro_chewyro de nada 😊

omg where did u get the fish stickers? they are so cuteee
Shopee!
noob question but how do you put the phone charm? do you have hacks or something i cant put mine 😂

I think you can add an sd card
It has 32gb internal memory and you can use an sd card to expand that :)
@@chewyro_chewyro awesome, thank you! definitely going to get this next year!
hi! does it support banking apps like gcash? im planning to get it as a secondary phone but i'd need to use gcash for store payments and so far i havent seen reviews abt that
i really wished that this phone worked with T-Mobile
Hi i just got mine. About the storage, do you use an external SD card?
I don’t need it yet so I don’t, but you can use an external sd card to increase the storage space :)
@ thanks for the reply I watched your reviews. They’re very helpful🫶🏻
Is this a new flip phone? Because I haven't seen much about, even though I'm aways searching about this kind of stuff! :,3
I believe this has been around for a few years now, but def newer than most flip phones
@chewyro_chewyro i see :0
Thx for telling me ^^
I had this phone, sadly I had to return it because it didn't work in Europe (Croatia specifically). But overall I think it would be a really nice daily carry for anyone who can get it to work in their country!
Awee, too bad! hoping companies release new ones that work in your country :)
Do you still get 4g network coverage?
Im not 100% sure, but I think this phone is only 3G :(
Lte is 4G, isn’t it?
this phone is really cool, im just wondering if it will work with Verizon in the US?
Just got one, from Ebay.. very cool! What theme or widget app do you use rn? thanks
Awesome! I’m using nova launcher with olympia icon pack!
@ thanks, im using it rn.. the phone is really cute!!
Does it stutter or clunky in some area if you don't mind me asking ?
Is it true that you can’t use t9 physical keyboard when in apps and messages to type? And have to download paid app for that?
Hi! Could you let me know which key mapper app you used? TIA! ❤
It’s called Key Mapper :)
Thanku for sharing video i am waiting for this video ❤❤
do you know if it would work on Xfinity wifi thingy? i dont know what its called but ive heard ot doesnt work for everything
where did you buy your case?
I got it free from the phone seller
Did you use it to watch any live streams on different platforms? How does it work ? Could be slow or not ?
I don’t really watch live streams, but I think while a little slow, it can handle it just finr
I would love to have a phone like that but im unable to find out whether or not it can be shipped to Norway. Is there any other site that is legit that sells this phone? :)
I can only think of ebay :(
@@chewyro_chewyro Thing is, I am terrified of getting scammed xD I dont know what sellers on Ebay or just online in general that I can trust that aint legit, you know? So idk, I really wanna have that phone D: My inner millenial (spelling??) is crying for it D:
Where did you buy it? I want one of those so bad
Link in the description :)
where do you get your cute stickers?
shopee!
Does it work with At&t or mint in the US? And if yes, is it 3g or 4g
Sooo I can’t say for sure as I’m in the Philippines, but I heard it DOES work in the US. From what I’ve read, it could be limited to at&t at certain bands:(
where did you buy it? 🙏🏻
check her description
Do you know where I can order(?) one in the U.S.?
Hmm I could only think of Ebay!
@@chewyro_chewyroname of the seller please, im scared of scams
When you said it has a smart sim, does that mean it has an e-sim?
Sorry for the confusion! Nope, Smart is just one of the carriers we have here in the Philippines 😅
@chewyro_chewyro ah ok, all good! So it doesn't have an e-sim?
@@PrimaveraOne It does not :(
Ah well, that's ok! Thank you! 😍
i am still hung up on how big it is :(((. but theres no way i can get a flip 2 when this phone is so much better
It is indeed quite big lol
When you got the phone, did you choose the language that appears or was it automatically in English?
If I remember correctly, you need to set it up when you first boot up the phone (have to choose between ENG and KOR)
hi! where did you find the case?
@@bibia13.13 s Folder phone fb page
Hlo sis can tell me which phone better samsung flip phone or mive style folder 🤨🥰 plzz reply me
Mive folder has android 12, samsung folder has 6 or 7. Mive is the later version and has better app support. Slightly faster than samsung folder, too
Thank u soo much ❤@chewyro_chewyro
i had the mive for a while but had to sell because it was just too big for my hands. 😭
Does this phone still play music through bluetooth when we close it ?
Yes
i didn't watch the video yet but oi'm going to ask :
What's the difference between the 'alt mive style folder' and the 'mive style folder' ?
Nothing :) I believe ALT is the company that made this phone
@@chewyro_chewyro ah, okay! thank you :D !
Now i am even more struggling between freetel mode 1 rétro 2 and this one
I wouldn't get the freetel it's very expensive and novelty cheap build mive folder has that classic fliphone grade quality
@joyfulstarr thanks i read that freetel wasn't as solid as alt mive
I think i'll get the mive when i get a good deal
And keep my smartphone for Android auto in hands
hi! does it support banking apps like gcash?
@@Naora-y9t I downloaded gcash but it won’t let me log in :/
Yay:) Alt Mive post - my new favourite thing to watch on YT lol I'm about to set mine up now, so excited.
There's a flip phone for everybody^^
does it have 4g?
Can you do a giveaway 😢
Hello, greetings 💜 i have thd phone its nice how you download the icons theme ? And can you add or download language other than english and korean ?
I downloaded nova launcher from playstore, as well as icon packs. The one in the video is called crayon icon pack, I believe. Another similar looking one is called olympia icon pack
As for language, I don't think you can download other options. There's only English and Hangeul.
how is it on updates?
You might get some security updates here and there, but it’s just android 12 and no further os updates afaik
Does it have the touch keypad thingy?if yes im in
You mean on screen keyboard? If so, yes
does anyone know how i can add another language to my keyboard on this phone? i added another language to gboard in settings but it doesnt seem to work. the 12key keyboard installed on the phone only has korean and english.
