No even on a flip phone I was still on Facebook web version a lot. It’s just not as instant which is good so we don’t spend as much time as we could be like on full smartphones. I would get on, post an update, maybe like a photo and end it. But I had mobile internet shortly before smartphones got really really Popular because data plans were so expensive even for basic phones
95% of this was: I spent a week using a $90 flip phone to complain it wasn't a $1200 iphone. People revert to "dumb phones" to stop being so dependent on smart phones and help them to cut screen time. IMHO
She's too young to remember how we used to manage without smartphones, so she spent the whole time trying to get that thing to work like an iPhone, instead of figuring out how to do things without using apps.
That is 100% correct. And it works better than any app locker, screen time tracker, or sheer will, ever will. Unfortunately work requires me to have android apps but I intentionally bought one that's annoying to use. I went from hours of scrolling a day to none overnight but retained the one thing I actually want out of a phone - communication.
@@GeeEee75 Or I'll be telling you I live in the mountains, hike a ton and have lots of animals. You believe whichever makes you feel better about yourself.
I remember listening to local over the air FM radio on my Nokia 6085 and 6101 in the mid-2000s. Any earphone or headphone’s cable that was attached served as the FM tuner’s antenna. It was free audio that did not count against your mobile data cap!
It's sad. Imagine in the future, when Gen X will be the last living adults who can remember what it was like to grow up without a mobile phone, let alone a smartphone!😪😂
@@GeeEee75 I'm a millennial and as far as I remember I only got a smartphone when I was 17, and this was the very early days of Android (think 2.3.6) and it was way less addictive to use smartphones up until 2013, when there were more and more powerful phones being released with more and more functions and apps...I thankfully had a childhood with very little electronics, but seeing how bad electronics addiction has gotten me, has me scared for my small nephew...
@WildWildWeasel I didn't touch a computer until high-school and didn't have an email address until university. I didn't have any sort of mobile phone until age 23ish, which was a Nokia 3310 or similar. 😂
@@GeeEee75 lmao I did have a 3310 as my first ever phone, and that's when I was like 9 years old because I was far from my parents at school and needed to call them, and as for email, right after starting high school in 2007, but only because the basketball team needed an email for the yearly grade reports I'd get from the principal, because if anyone's scores dropped a certain amount they'd get kicked from the team Miss those days, especially when I got into motocross in my teens
I’m getting a new flip phone in a week or two. 😊 don’t care what anyone says or thinks. It’s the TCL Flip 2 and I can even order a nice plastic case to put around the phone.
If you use it as intended it has juice for more than 1 week ... she used it like a freaking smartphone! Those phones are used for taking calls, sms and listening to music. With 1400mah (which is the biggest in that category) you are not allowed to complain. Some people missed the meaning of this phone in the first place!
I don't use any social media at all, so that wouldn't be an adjustment at all for me. However, I do use my phone to keep up on tech news and track my workouts and diet. The shocking thing for me is that this is just a one day phone. I kind of expected more. At least the battery is swappable.
From what I know these phones do last longer it's more just she is using this as if it's a iPhone as she said in this video she's using this as an iphone
You can easily survive with a 2012-13 Blackberry Curve or Bold, as it has a QWERTY keyboard. It can do everything the feature phone does, but on a slightly larger 3 inch screen.
The point of this video should’ve been to completely replace texting and social media with actual phone calls. For me, phone calls are actually faster than a long drawn out text conversation. You also pick up a lot more by the way someone talks and not just the words they are saying. Society needs to relearn how to talk to each other and spend real time together instead of looking at each other’s selfies.
@@Florian00 easy for you to say. no one in their right mind would quit a just cause messenger or zoom is widely used for communication. that's the dumbest mindset ever lol
if i did this i'd use a classic 2g/3g handset from back in the day - 2g still exists in the uk for as much as the next 10 years so it'd work and it'd mean you wouldnt miss the point of being more intentional
Kudos to you for going a week. I used the same Nokia phone for a weekend. Its for sure different than today's phones, but its similar to what I grew up using so that nostalgia factor was present. It did make me use my phone less.
It’s interesting because halfway through this I realized some of these challenges are only issues for city people. I’d be interested to hear a similar review from someone who lived in a more rural/suburban area
I no longer live in rural area but I think that would be more along the lines of printing out the schedules of bus/train lines and when the shops are closing. Personally I find that the more people use smartphones the less they remember these things, including me.
Great presentation. I’ve seen other bloggers talk about their life with flip phones and it’s nice to get a different point of view. Great presentation.
@@seaweed428 it may surprise you to know that there’s a growing movement of people that are using flip phones instead of smart phones. Some of the flip phones do a little more than talk and text and others are capable of running apps like Waze and other simple apps that don’t require a lot ofresources. I challenge you to go without a smart phone for a week and use only a flip phone just to see if you could do it. You don’t even have to tell me the results.
Goes to show how dependent the smartphone generation is so over connected ... How many of you actually remember phone numbers and know how to navigate using an real map & not GPS?
Exactly, I was so surprised when she stated she misses that the smartphone shows her which way she is facing. Is this really what people are like nowadays? I'm not that old and this is somewhat a culture, or perhaps a generational, shock to me.
Hello. Thank you for the wonderful video. I'm a Japanese author! Due to my smartphone addiction, I started using a dumbphone for my mental health. I've written a book and videos about my experience. I found your video very interesting. I think digital detox is necessary worldwide. I've heard that dumbphones are experiencing a resurgence overseas, so I'm hopeful. I hope there will be more simple phones like this!
How do you listen to music on it do you have to hook it into computer and put MP3 files on it or does it work with apps like RUclips music and all those , also if you close screen if you have RUclips premium will the video and audio stop or still play in background
I Remember The Flip Phone Days, From The Late 90s, To The Late 00s, The Last Time I Used A Flip Phone Was In 2008, And The Last Time I Used A Blackberry Phone Was In 2013, And After That, It Was All IPhones From There, My Brothers And Sisters.
I think the point of a so called dumb phone is to have a break from all the apps. In theory I would love it, but in actuality the snail pace texting would drive me bananas. Maybe then I would actually have to call people. So strange because the telephone used to be used primarily to call people (showing my age a bit here).
I want a pretty basic phone for my middle schooler to have on him when he's at friends or after school stuff, but I need to know if this phone has the ability to be tracked by me? Anyone know?
Why is it so chunky like a "My first fisher price flip phone"? my LG 575 & LG 500 flip phones from decades ago - the build tolerances were so much tighter / higher quality. Its huge - in a badway
Yes. You can export your contacts as a vcf file from your smart phone and send it to the dumb phone via Bluetooth. Thats what I did and I was able to easily import all my contacts to the Kaios phone
I find it interesting "replying to texts faster" is in her list of pros. Mine would be spending less time texting, more on phone calls. Gen Z vs. Millennial differences for sure. I used to love the calls and voicemails I got from friends. Texts were meant to be quick ways to make plans, share brief updates, or tell people random stuff you intended to talk about later in a phone call.
The smart alternative for this is a phone like the Cat s22, having android you don't lose important functions and apps, but the form factor helps the digital detox. They couldn't have chosen a worse phone than this nokia to test it.
Always liked the flip phone. Fits in any pocket/ purse ....not a lot of bulk. Never lost it the flip. Always loosing/misplacing the big smart phone. Glad I saw this on CNET. Will get one ! ! ! !
I've just come off the Nokia 800 Tough, which used exactly the same Kaios system. It was beyond a joke, lagged and crashed often. The only thing the phone had going for it WAS that it was tough. I now have the Doogee S100 Pro and it's the best phone I've ever had!
I want to try this, i have one phone like this but it doesn't have Google maps.after watching this video I guess asking people for direction is better option than using maps.
I must be old because I can remember when everybody had to use a pay phone. Nobody had a mobile phone or social media and very few people had a car phone.
I bought this phone a few months ago. And I like it. We're I'm living, and it works well. Plus, I'm not tripping on sending pictures anymore. Are you texting .
I would love this but we have an id/2 step verification app in my country that isn't available on this. Everyone uses it, even the government services log you in through it. I wish manufacturers got together and figured out a hardware standard for 2 step verification instead of having to rely on third party apps.
Imagine intentionally buying a "dumb phone" and still wanting to scroll TikTok and Instagram all day. And the "problems" are things like not being able to use Apple Pay and actually remember your wallet.
Us Millenials will be the last gereration that didn't have phones or internet until 2003-2004. Internet/Phone/Pagers were too expensive for anyone to have before that time. I'm 35 now. Got my first Moto Razr V3 when i was 14 with free night and weekend minutes. (We literally could only use it at night and on weekends) It was no joke. We didn't use them in school because they had no minutes in the daytime. xD
As a college student,I have survived an whole year with a 3310 nokia phone from 2023, it might seem to be a bit uncomfortable because everyone might be using the internet but it might soon vanish after some week.
People using speaker phone to talk while out and about is FING annoying. You do realise they only do it on reality TV so the cocking mic can pick up the phone conversation!
Don't really think it was a proper digital detox because you were still trying to use the apps on the flip phone. But I suppose it's your life and it's up to you and you can do it anyway you see fit
Smartphones are not the problem, it is us surrendering to social media. I don't have any social media apps on my phone other than WhatsApp just to get free international calling.
Same here. i got this and returned cause month back I had no idea they stopping whatsapp support to Kai os from June or something . only users logged on before that have access till next year
However, be *VERY* careful buying a new flip phone, though. Most new flip phones rely on digital cellular networks, and many cell carriers are no longer supporting 2G and sometimes 3G digital cellular service. You want to phone that supports Voice over LTE (VoLTE) 4G service nowadays.
This video just validated my thesis on Creators, which was directly correlated to the thesis of the video. However, the content and elements are relevant.
this makes me want to buy the phone, half the "downsides" were perks to me (like the "bad" camera has a quality i'd love and the lower resolution of videos doesnt matter to me for certain things i may be filming) and the other ones would be solved by having an additional smartphone if its affordable XD
These aren't phones anymore. They are computers. Why can't we just load a free Linux distrobution on any unlocked smartphone and use voip with wifi only. Is that not possible in 2024?
Take that Vault 7! Next level privacy tech! For those of you who need privacy. Just need talk and text people. If you’re okay with the government knowing every single detail about your your life and who’s your nearest kin then you can still provide that information by login in to Facebook on a laptop.

Isn’t the whole point of this phone, to get away from all these social media apps.

this is literally a smartphone in a flip phone’s body… flip phones from the 00s didn’t have all of that and they were more pixelated…
Saw your post on the japan times very interesting
Thanks for sharing.
Why are the flip phones seem to be pushed?? What about the bar style phones ?? They are same other than form
How do you listen to music on it do you have to hook it into computer and put MP3 files on it or does it work with apps like RUclips music and all those , also if you close screen if you have RUclips premium will the video and audio stop or still play in background
I think the newer ones have Spotify, but of course you can go OG and rip CDs through a CD drive and send them to your phone via USB or MicroSD.

Id only buy this phone because it still has WhatsApp but with WhatsApp no longer available on KaiOS, I don't see a point to this phone.
Same here. i got this and returned cause month back I had no idea they stopping whatsapp support to Kai os from June or something . only users logged on before that have access till next year
Wow the addiction to social media
However, be *VERY* careful buying a new flip phone, though. Most new flip phones rely on digital cellular networks, and many cell carriers are no longer supporting 2G and sometimes 3G digital cellular service. You want to phone that supports Voice over LTE (VoLTE) 4G service nowadays.
This video just validated my thesis on Creators, which was directly correlated to the thesis of the video. However, the content and elements are relevant.
this makes me want to buy the phone, half the "downsides" were perks to me (like the "bad" camera has a quality i'd love and the lower resolution of videos doesnt matter to me for certain things i may be filming) and the other ones would be solved by having an additional smartphone if its affordable XD
I need it to end the call with a loud clap
those were the days we can navigate through our phone without looking at it and send a text message.
0:40 Nuh, cannot watch this woman. 40 seconds was all I could take.
These aren't phones anymore. They are computers. Why can't we just load a free Linux distrobution on any unlocked smartphone and use voip with wifi only. Is that not possible in 2024?
of course it is
I have this exact same phone but without Kai OS and it sucks! Somebody help me change the OS if you can!
It’s only 4G has it wifi?
Take that Vault 7! Next level privacy tech! For those of you who need privacy. Just need talk and text people. If you’re okay with the government knowing every single detail about your your life and who’s your nearest kin then you can still provide that information by login in to Facebook on a laptop.
Key pad phones of this Era also smarter than the keypad phones of the 90s.
It's absurd to see that comparing keypad phone with iphone😂😂.
Whether its avalable in India
I thought this was a skit. Good video.
I still remember with this keypad I can type any messages without even looking at the screen!
Tio bad is not sell in Indonesia. Really need this kind of phone
