Do feature phones still have a place in 2024? Absolutely, but what’s it like to use one? I’ve been testing out the Aspera F50 to find out. Here's my full text and video review!
📱➡️📞 Weniger ist manchmal mehr! Die Generation Z geht back to basics und tauscht ihre Smartphones gegen Feature-Phones aus. 🔄 Warum? Datenschutz und der Wunsch nach Einfachheit spielen eine große Rolle.
Seid ihr auch Team #FeaturePhone oder könnt ihr euch ein Leben ohne Smartphone nicht mehr vorstellen?
I got a Nokia 2780 Flip phone as our "home phone" for around the house and for my kid to bring with him in situations where we might be separated. It's very satisfying to use! Physical buttons, T9 texting, and it even has a rudimentary Google Maps app. 3 days of battery life, to boot. It runs KaiOS. Great call quality, signal strength, and that pleasant Nokia ringtone.
My perfect phone would be a #FeaturePhone with display-port out running #postmarketOS. Imagine having the simplicity of a feature phone and then being able to connect it to a dock and use it as a PC. That would be amazing!
People keep referring to the Cat 22 flip phone as a dumb phone. It has a touch screen, runs Android, and has the Google Play Store. It is a flip phone, but I think that's too much to even qualify as a "feature phone". Just being a flip having a smaller screen, and having a physical keypad doesn't make something a "dumb phone".
A #DumbPhone is something that has a non-extensible #Firmware with only the functions baked in #ROM to be supported.
A #FeaturePhone however would at least allow customizations in terms of look and feel or some content - like ringtones, maybe some [Java Mobile] Games, and being able to play music.
Okay, #droidian komplett neu aufgesetzt und den apn neu konfiguriert.
Funktioniert immer noch nicht...
Damit hat sich der #monat#linuxmobile wohl erledigt, denn ohne die Möglichkeit auch in der Straßenbahn und unterwegs auf das Internet zugreifen zu können, ist ein #smartphone kein wirkliches Smartphone sondern eher ein #featurephone . Finde ich sehr schade. :(
Vielleicht habe ich ja bald das Geld zusammen für das librem5, dann kann ich das nochmal versuchen...
Is there a place for a cheaper feature phone in your life? Here's my review of the HMD Global produced Nokia 2660 Flip. Living with this phone for a while has been... interesting.

#Mobile : On vient de me poser la question et ça peut vous intéresser, il est tout à fait possible de faire du partage de connexion 4G-WiFi depuis un #dumbphone / #featurephone comme le Nokia 800 vers un portable ou tablette (genre service minimum dans la poche et usage++ en sortant l'ordi par exemple) 🤓
