    I lived between 2018 and 2022 in Japan. These kind of phone ia VERY popular among elderly in JP. When you take it with an appropriate plan it's almost free (beside the plan wich is outrageously pricy in comparison to my homw country, France). Anyway those phones will always remind me of Japan. I wish i bought one with a touch screen as a secondary phone for my business XD

      @@metameow1 j'ai reçu un Sharp SH01J y'a deux semaines, déjà unlocked, si tu reçois un téléphone simlocké Docomo t'as intérêt à bien connaître le japonais et l'anglais car il faut passer par un intermède qui va t'envoyer un code pour faire le débloquage, en plus c'est payant donc il vaut mieux le chopper débloqué.
      Après rien ne dit que la portée réseau sera optimale, je suis chez Free, par moments il capte le réseau mais la plupart du temps y'a rien du tout, pas même en EDGE ou 2G :/
      Donc faut bien regarder les bandes réseaux locales vers chez toi, qui correspondent à ton opérateur, ça devient vite compliqué 😅 Le mieux à faire c'est de se choper un téléphone français même si ceux que l'on a sont sacrément moche, j'aimerais bien me chopper un Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 car il est magnifique mais quasi introuvable hors de la Corée... Chanceux 🥲

    I am planning to buy the updated KY-42C which is for a different mobile network provider here in Japan. I hoped the LPII to support more language and also be usable here but to no avail. Also considered the KY-01L but it lacks back (front) light and very small battery for even an e-ink screen. I really wish an updated KY-01L or a multilingual LPII.

      While they can be used, they won't function very easily because of the lack of touchscreen.

    Hi Jose. Great video, as usual. Question--is this phone very heavily dependent on Google?? Registering, etc? I bought a CAT 22S Flip. I am extremely disappointed because I couldn't make it do anything without having to go through Google this, and Google that. Wouldn't let me download apps via Apks. Wouldn't let me download F-Droid. I must have tried 5x. It was possible I was doing something wrong, but the bottom line is, If I wanted an app, it had to be through the Google Play store. I finally factory reset it for now. I was really frustrated! Anyway, is this phone's Android version regular Android, or "Go" version? I wonder if that had anything to do with it? Pardon my ignorance.
    Again, thanks for your instructive videos. This phone appears very interesting to me, though it is pricey from what I saw in the website.

    • @JoseBriones
      @JoseBriones  Год назад +8

      This one doesn’t have Google at all. You can download apks, modify it without any input from google. It’s AOSP 8.1, so full android. Not the Go version.

      Call will end when lid is closed. Speaker and Alarms are decently loud and clear 9/10

    Dumb question, can this phone play dumbphone games from back in the late 2000s and early 2010s? I heard most dumbphone games back then are running on Java and lost in time, so they are very hard to find and might not work. 🤔
