"the camera sucks" lol, seriously I have been wanting to sell my iphone 13 mini and just use the cheapest phone available just so I can free my self from modern day slavery. Apps like whatsapp have become essential for work, but excuses like this should not really be. Smartphones stop life, all beautiful art in the the history has been made without needing smartphones, and I am happy I'm not the only one searching for the answer
For me a phone should really only be good at calling, texting, making snapshots and playing mp3 in playlists when having a walk. Social media and surfing the internet are not needed.
Absolutely love the originality in your videos. No script, no clout chasing, no pleasing people, the randomness in going off topic sometimes. Feel Ike listening to person belonging to pre social media epidemic which is refreshing. Keep the videos coming. One more thing I found an account on Instagram with the same name that I requested to follow. Please confirm if that’s you or not. Thanks :)
Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. My Instagram is under my real name and so you probably found the wrong one. I also am planning to delete my instagram account next week anyways 🙃🙃
@@theliopleurodon yes I guess I might have to un request that person to avoid sounding creepy or something. Reason for following was to talk about Christianity anyways will see you around here. Subscribing to you right away.
You know a couple of years ago I was using a BlackBerry, it was actually more advanced than this, kind of ironic that they went out of business because of 'smart phones', and now we have a movement back to 'dumb devices' that are less utilitarian than the BB.
I used this dumb phone for a couple of days and I think it's the best you could possibly get for its price (80€ here in Italy). Eventually, I had to revert to my smartphone because I was just too frustrated not to have certain apps (mainly for airline tickets and online banking), but other than that it worked just fine and was so close to becoming my main device. It can do 90% of the stuff I normally use a cellphone for, I'd even gotten familiar with the keyboard. I feel like the only app you couldn't live without in 2024 is WhatsApp.
yes for me whatsapp too! in germany it’s essential.. and i’d love to video call in whatsapp .. i think that’s seldom in these rather dumbphone phones …
i think ill be going with this regardless of what you mentioned about the texting, as im someone who seldom texts anyway. maps and whatsapp is too much to pass up and i can't find a good affordable alternative. thanks for the review
TH-cam and WhatsApp is more than enough for me but really a shame about that texting - i wouldn't be able to put up with that either. Will you go back to a smartphone or did you find a better dumbphone?
I'm moved back to my smartphone for now. Although I've noticed my screen time has increased significantly so I don't like it. I'm hoping to get another dumbphone that's more permanent that I can have for longer but I really don't want to have to use a T9 keypad anymore. I also really miss having a good camera to record videos and I love having spotify so I'm not sure there's a dumbphone with those things! I might just have to dumb down my smartphone
what about call quality? and battery life ? is the navigation in the os fast or slow ? network picks up well ? thank you for answering, i plan to buy it for my 58 year old mother 😊
The call quality is alright, it does the job. Turning the volume up can be tricky as you need to go into setting to be able to do that. Battery life is not good. I found that even if I didn't go on it, the battery life would go down really fast. The OS is alright, I found that it became slower overtime but I assume thats due to large videos I have on there. Network is great, i've not had any problems with it at all
Hello! You said you cannot receive or send videos over 1 min long by WhatsApp: when someone sends you a bigger video do you know they have sent it or you don't get any information? Thanks!
I have a Sony Ericsson from 2009 and I am thinking about trying to use it as a daily for a while (I currently use an iPhone 13 Mini). It is a smartphone but because it is very outdated most features (most, not all) don't work anymore. I also have the original 6300 that was 2g but I don't like using that. These Nokias are great phones for any person. The old OS is surprisingly customizable on the Nokias
Aww that's great! the Sony Ericsson is defnitely a cool looking phone, even if it's a smartphone, sometimes having a device that doesn't work the best helps you to not go on it as much!
@@theliopleurodon Indeed. My Sony is actually one of those models that had a touch screen but with limited functionality. It is so much fun to use. Kind of makes me hate newer phones because of how boring they are😂
Yes i been on a JOURNEY trying to find the perfect “feature phone” and my only goddamn criteria was a horizontal slide keyboard….which doesn’t exist…. So I’m fine with the keypad texting it’s nostalgic and kinda fun but if the buttons suck that much then damn it. Additionally the flip phones that are available are too bulky for my liking and don’t feel nice in your pocket like a more slim candy bar style would. I’m about to engineer my own phone at this point.
Hi, I really appreciate yr effort in making these videos😊 we are on the same path act. I bought a dumbphone too but it was too laggy so I decided to dumb down my iphone 😂 but my daily screen time is increasing 😁 at the moment im using my iphone only at work and dumbphone at home and during the weekend 🦋
Thank you so much! I enjoy making them. I've had to dumb down my smartphone for now which I'm upset about as i loved having a dumbphone. If only they made a dumbphone that actually works well with today's society!
@@theliopleurodonthis phone has some interesting specs like WiFi, Bluetooth a2dp, GPS. The only thing that sucks is the internal storage limited to 4gb, otherwise, it seems like a good phone. I own a Nokia 110 4g 2023 which has Bluetooth 5 low energy a2dp and it has a major particularity, the ability to pair tws earbuds easily. I won't lie but I hate wired earphones as they don't have a good sound quality and tend to break easily. All I have to do is to get a micro SD card, load it with my favorite tracks and get my earbuds and I don't feel the need to carry my hefty Android phone with me outside as keypad phones with Bluetooth 4.2 and 5 have a great battery life and good connection
I wouldn't but it. Unless it's for not for frequent use I'd suggest getting another one as the keypad doesn't work properly, its laggy and makes texting really difficult
Can you send audio messages on WhatsApp with this phone? Do you receive a notification you received a message on WhatsApp if the app is closed, or do you have to open the app to check if anyone sent you a message?
Yes you can send whatsapp audio messages on this phone. Yes you will get notifications for WhatsApp, but you can't see them when the phone is in sleep mode, you need to turn it on in order to see your notifications
Love your videos, please make more videos like this. I’ve been thinking about trying a dumbphone, but I need my smartphone for work and actually it is a very useful tool, but I think we shouldn’t spend too much time on our phones, specially on social media. So I tried to dumb down my smartphone but it has been difficult. Maybe it would be great if you tell us how you dumb down your smartphone 😊
Thank you! I also think smartphones are really useful, the idea behind digital Minimalism is using technology in a way that is beneficial and used positively. It's not an anti-technology or anti-smartphone movement, it's about being more intentional with how you use the technology you have. I have plans to make a video about dumbing down my smart phone in about a weeks time! :)
Maybe you can fix the texting problem by pressing the hashtag symbol once or twice before you start typing. It should change to Ab2 or something like that. I have a different dumb phone but had the same problem, now i can text normally :)
I wanted to buy the nokia 8110 (Banana phone) or a samsung flip with android but unfortunately those aren't available in my country so I bought this one from the review instead, I hope it will be enjoyable, i dont think i will have much trouble with typing since the idea is mostly getting of social media anyways and I have small fingers but we will see, thanks for the review enjoyed a lot!
I started using a dumbphone. but I was always a PC guy, so I search a solution for the PC, I have a really old laptop, but that is too bad for modern websites, I am kinda in need of something that can display google, and modern websites and stuff good (and also MS-Office) but that isnt that good.
No, you're not. WhatsApp has most of its common features, though (even stickers). As of today, I think the only ones missing are video calls and view once media.

And I want to replace it with a dumbphone for the exact same reasons
Let’s get married please lol
I have a separate camera for photos lol
Does everyone looking for a dumbphone has an iPhone 13 mini? Cuz I’m in the same situation lmao

hey can you use a speech to text feature? also, do whatsapp voice messages work?
WhatsApp voice messages work perfectly and I could never find a speech to text feature
@@theliopleurodon Some of the KaiOS phones have google assistant as speech interpreter for messages etc.
@@dandeeleon7665 thats correct but the Nokia 6300 4G does not have google assistant
@@theliopleurodon Yeah, I think only the flip phones have that
Can we install air strike on the Nokia 630 4g?

Hello! You said you cannot receive or send videos over 1 min long by WhatsApp: when someone sends you a bigger video do you know they have sent it or you don't get any information? Thanks!
Voice to text? Also, does the Google map follow you as you travel, or does it just give you turn by turn directions aloud?
im pretty sure (i dont have the phone but i saw review for a similar nokia) it's just turn by turn directions not read aloud
From where can l get a set. Pl suggest.
recently bought one, but it doesn't have Wi-Fi... Does anyone know why Nokia removed this option? Thanks for this video!
@marcomandurrino I'm not sure. They used to have KaiOS but I heard they were removing it, I'm not sure if KaiOS is needed for Internet access
Does otg cable support exist in this phone?
u can hide Blop (preinstalled) applications by debugging the device but it requieres som technical skills but nothing to tricky
Can you access Google contacts on this phone?
does wifi calling work in UK?
Yes :)
@@theliopleurodon ok thanks. it seems crappy but idk what else to get

HEADS UP: WhatsApp is being discontinued on phones that use KaiOS.
Hello, are you able to log into WhatsApp Web with this phone?
No, you're not. WhatsApp has most of its common features, though (even stickers). As of today, I think the only ones missing are video calls and view once media.
wow
If these phones had Spotify (!!) and camera (mediocre) . Id change no thinking..
Yeah, it's really sad they don't have spotify. But you can always get a dumbphone and then purchase a camera and ipod/mp3 player seperately
Yes use this phone prefect as dumb phone 2023
pretty good review 🙂🙂
this is more like a "mid iq" phone lol i expected it to be way dumber but the fact that it has whatsapp and google and games and shit surprised me
Nice
