Kyocera definitely makes these phones very well. the build quality can't be beat. Yes, it costs about $250, but I've had $90 flip phones break or creak after a few months of use. This is worth the extra cost, I think.
If I throw this phone as hard as I possibly can on concrete (but not from an elevated height), will it break at all? Anyone know? I am not a baseball pitcher, just a regular (relatively) healthy adult male.
Genuine question, what apps can you get on it? Does it have talk to text? I want to switch to a fliphone to get away from social media but I need Google maps and my calculator app etc.
I actually use this phone for work as it’s what my agency give to employees. It’s a throw back to the 2000s for sure and I believe there are better dumb phone options out there for sure
I've been interested in buying a Kyocera device for a while now, but for the life of me can i not figure out which model would be the best option. DuraXV vs DuraXV extreme vs extreme+ etc. if you could make a review comparing all models i would really appreciate it.
Showing the texting interface is a must for these types of phones. Virtual mouse, fm radio yes yes. GPS is another biggie. No one ever gives real reviews of GPS functionality.
I have during livestreams. I just don't like overwhelmingly long videos. But to note on this, it doesn't bring a GPS by default. You have to install it yourself.
I’m looking to leave my iPhone behind and have been watching your videos. 2 things that are important to me. Spotify that works via Bluetooth (headphones or car) and some sort of navigation if I get in a bind. Does this phone or the schok classic work with Bluetooth playback?
My father has this phone and a lock symbol has appeared on the front screen. He is certain it wasn't there before and that it is affecting his battery. He doesn't have screen lock set and I can't find any reference to it in the user manual. Any ideas?
Jose, I had the previous version of this phone till it broke. So I got this upgraded one but it does not recognize my password for voicemail messages on my prior Kyocera Dura extreme flip phone. So I cannot access my voice mail messages. What to do???
JOSE : I bought on your advice the LG CLASSIC FLIP PHONE, I am very satisfied, with everything that it has, big letters on my contacts, big letters when I dial so I don't have to use my Glasses and like You said for a very good price on the Page Plus Network, but I am missing the Flashlight very much, I am 47 years old. Can You tell me about a similar Flip Phone like the this one LG CLASSIC ?, with big letters on the contacts, big letters when I dial, and everything that it comes with it specially the price very affordable, but with Flash Light for the Page Plus Network.

Hi! I'm from India and need a dumbphone for daily use. I can't move around without Google Maps so having it on my device is a must. Is there a phone you can recommend to me? Thanks!
@@JoseBriones aaah yes okay, thanks Jose, I prefer the Extreme+ anyway. However I am trying to source a Kyocera in the UK but cannot seem to find a dealer at all and I am reluctant to order from the US in case it doesn't work here. Do you have any advice?
Do you like the display orientation of side loaded apps on this Kyocera xv extreme or schok classic? In your reviews and this update, the maps seem to adapt to the phones default orientation to display the apps menus and full layout, similar to the cat s22 inwhich, have google store built into it. I purchased and returned the Sonim xp3 today because,i had trouble with running some of my essential apps for work and libby for audiobooks. Also it wouldn't run the google maps go, here we go maps or run waze well with the coursor. I wanted to know if the maps option was better on schok classic, not classic flip or the kyocera dura xV, xE etc ...?
At the bottom of the screens, say setting up an alarm, there are text options to edit but I don’t know what to push to edit? We recharged the phone and now there is nothing on the screen. What happened? Very frustrating
Don't know if I missed in the video but I'm curious, is this phone anti google? I hear that some of the phones send info back to other countries from your phone .🤠
Hi Jose, I have been watching your videos for a few months now trying to pick a device. I originally thought cat s22 flip but I have Verizon so I wasn't sure that was the best plan. Which transition device would you recommend for a Verizon user who texts a lot? Would love a good camera on it too.
Sadly, there are no good options for heavy texting on Verizon. I’d recommend either a Jelly 2 or a Unihertz Titan Pocket since they have either the google assistant or a full keyboard. It’s tough for Verizon since they don’t support many of the great phones available in the market.
I have a Kyocera Cadence. It is such a good phone. Thin so it fits in my pocket, not thick and bulky like this one. Too bad they don’t make them anymore
Thank you for all your work on the channel! Is it possible to load apk files on the Sunbeam F1 Pro? From my understanding it is a custom version of Android AOSP. Would it be similar to the Kyocera Dura phones in loading apk files?
As a recovering heavy internet addict, on the one hand, this appeals to me, still having maps, whatsapp, signal and such, like very rudimentary tools. On the other hand, even a stupid smart thing like this terrifies me... that I might just end up still listening non-stop to audiobooks or excessively watching TH-cam on an even smaller screen. So I have two questions regarding the LP 2: 1) With the LP 2... can you completely disable the audiobook (well, podcast) fuction? It's a risk that worries me, too. 2) Do you happen to know if one would be able to test the LP 2 for a short amount of time and send it back if it doesn't suit oneself?
Jose is the apps 4 flip site done?? I had to reset my kyocera back to factory mode and I am attempting to re download the cursor and side load all my apps but it seems the apps4flips guys are done with the site? Can you help me?
Great video ! How can you simultaneously be on the phone talking to someone, retrieve a text from the person you are talking to -- and then go back to the phone line -- without disconnecting the conversation? ...My insurance company often expects me to retrieve a texted code at the same time that I am talking to them on the phone.......I do not know how to do this without ending the phone conversation, retrieving the text and then calling the person back....Any input will be much appreciated ! Thanks ! ☀
Can you pair an android smartwatch with wear OS with this phone and receive and reply to text messages? Also is it possible to side load apps like uber and lyft?
Doee this have TH-cam capabilities? If I remember correctly, this particular version runs Android and has a web browser. But can it run the TH-cam app?
the software is very vaguely related. Same thing with the ANS F30 and Orbic Journey V. I believe they started with the same set of licensed software patches to AOSP but Kyocera has been improving on them over years. You'll find that many of the apps on both like the music player and clock apps are identical but the entire experience on a Kyocera device is just so much more stable and polished.
My perfect phone whorls be a flip phone to talk but with exterior screen with gps and apps, while other screen when you opened but instead of keyboard with numbers, letters. I haven’t found anything like that yet.
@@JoseBriones some people just like the style of the flip phone including the small size of them. Now days everything is going big. But talking about the style of unfolding the phone to talk is really cool hahaha. But sure the don’t make them as functional as other phones. For example the key board could be a small screen with letters. The Gps is not functional in those phones neither.
Hi Jose, thank you for the great review. Would you be able to confirm if this phone would work in Canada on say a Virgin network once unlocked? Thank you!
@@JoseBriones thanks so much for the response! Any recommendations where I can read up on the hotspot issue? Do you have a decent source in mind I could reference?
Just purchased one of these phones. Out of curiosity, is the hinge supposed to flip open like a spring? It seems I have to open it all the way and it can stay open by itself half-way unless I fully close it. Is this normal or should it open/close with more spring?
@@JoseBriones The video made it seem like the word was first in the list so you didn't have to toggle over the number that shows up first in the list of suggestions.
I think the main hardware difference between the extreme and the extreme+, is the extreme uses a Qualcomm QM215 and the extreme+ uses a Mediatek MT6761
Can confirm will not with AT&T but only because they can't pull their head out and support the phone. It's capable of working with other carriers as long as the phone is not purchased from Verizon directly and still within a 60-day lock period.
If I throw this phone as hard as I possibly can on concrete (but not from an elevated height), will it break at all? Anyone know? I am not a baseball pitcher, just a regular (relatively) healthy adult male. 🙂
