IRIS Flip Phone Review || Best KaiOS Phone So Far!
Hey Jose, I am wondering if you plan to review either the Blu Flex or the Mode1 Retro II? I am curious about both, but I cannot find anything decent on them.
What basic flip phone has the best build quality in your opinion
Kyocera
Pre-ordered yesterday!
Very helpful vid❣Great to be able to see the actual size in a person's hands. 2 QUESTIONS: 1) Do you know what the difference is between the 'Iris Flip Phone' & the 'Iris Easy Flip Phone'? Page on CC's site can't give usual side.by.side comparisons of 'Iris Easy Flip' & 'Iris Flip' ➡per customer service, b/c the 'Iris Flip' is out of stock (phone image also removed til back in stock). 2) Is the Iris Flip you reviewed the original model, or did it come after the 'Easy' model? Thx very much👏🏼
Does anyone know if this can be used with an external dongle dac?
You can
Will this phone have wifi calling/texting? I am on US mobile, and they do not support RCS so I am relying on wifi texting.
2:41 You said you can't remove them, which definitely means they can't be uninstalled, but can you still disable them? 7:06 This is the norm on all free apps anyway regardless of OS.
You cannot disable them sadly.
@@JoseBriones That's dumber than the dumb in dumbphone. Thanks for the quick response.
I believe only the US gets KaiOS 3.1, other regions still only have KaiOS 2.5. This is because KaiOS 3.1 doesn't currently support WhatsApp, critical for non-US users, but US users just use the normal messages app, so it doesn't matter. The camera is comparable to the selfie cameras on some budget phones.
If it supported WhatsApp it's be basically perfect, in my region though the Nokia 235 4G actually works on 4G, so I'd go that way (again, no WhatsApp, which is a dealbreaker).
I just wish you could stream music.
please, anybody knows, if you can hear an MP3 via bluetooth while reading an ebook?
Yes
cool!
A very good phone and really complete it is the TIQ Mini M3... Have everything.
Looks a good review, bur after 37 seconds I stoped watching because it is unuseful to me. Thanks
I used the TCL Flip 2 for over a year, and it was only possible due to the Android OS that allowed me to root and sideload essential software like speech to text and button mapper. Shame that the followup to such a great phone went with KaiOS. Those great upgrades would tempt me but no sideload and no speech to text means they don't even matter. I'll just continue to hope the Light Phone 3 will be everything I want lol.
Will it work with straight talk?
No
RCS?
Not yet. On the roadmap though.
I work at Verizon, and I just today learned this came out thanks to poking around our software. I gotta say, switching the hinge back to interior is a massive upgrade/return from a comfort point of view. I've owned both prior generations and this is just a better design. Definitely wish they improved the build quality more, maybe add some new features, but the hinge alone is a massive win in my eyes.
They need switch on Android go already
Android Go supports dumb phones?
@@retrogaminggenesis6102 cat s22 flip is on Android go 11
@@retrogaminggenesis6102*Dumb phones need to start supporting Android Go
Shame that this is the only dumbphone that works with my plan outside the Orbic Journey V which is considered a QC nightmare.
There's some Nokia devices as well (assume you're Verizon?)
@@retrogaminggenesis6102 I'm under Spectrum which is MVNO under Verizon and has an even more limited amount of phones you can use. Nokia does not work from what I know.
Just make a full screen phone on that current size with a better chip and keep social media off. I want something where all of those functions on this phone work fast and correctly. Even google for quick searches
Wifi calling and texting on this one?
WiFi Calling and Texting via RCS on this one
I think it's brilliant
Evan Blass leaked that phone earlier on Twitter/X in early 2024
Cool. Maybe he can tell us what the upcoming Flip phones look like!
The crazy thing is the CAT S22 is damn near three years old and has better specs than this phone for less.
I was literally gonna post the same thing
@@unclegamer3092 Right?
KAIOS is a PAIN to use!
Agreed
Agreed 👍
I bought the TCL Flip Pro to try and replace my Acatel Go Flip V, and I bought it for KaiOS since the Verizon model has an oversimplified and locked-down version of Android. Needless to say I returned it like 2 days later, I hated KaiOS and I hated the baked in advertisements everywhere. The typing experience was abhorrent.
I like Kai OS, though I wish it had copy and paste
This is why I have went to the original iPhone SE with 16 GB. It can't handle social media and I can still stream spotify and maps work very well.
Is there a way to block someone with this phone the Kyocera DuraXV LTE E4610?
You can only do it through your Verizon account. Ask customer service to show you how to do it from your customer portal.
i hate that i cant use the gboard and the t9 on the keypad
Will it work with cricket service?
It won't sadly.
Will there ever be a weather app included?
Maybe. But for now it only has the features that the Light Phone 2 has
funny, i once thought of teaching myself to make an os on android that runs on a pixel to be a smart dumbphone
sir @JoseBriones , its just looks like Nokia 2660 !!! what are the differences between these 2 ?? is it same phone, but named 2780 in USA ?? Please clarify !!
The Nokia 2660 doesn’t have apps or functions like the 2780. They look the same but the Operating System is completely different. The 2780 is way smarter than the 2660.
@@JoseBriones Thanks for the clarification
Its not Xiaomi, its xiao-mi🤷
Only available in U.K?
I believe if you buy through dumb wireless they’ll be able to ship to more places.
I basically did that myself with a jelly star. It is definitely worth it and a great compromise. It did require me to know backend tech stuff and ADB so for those that don't have that this phone could be a good option
Where and how to order. Is this. Still available?? Form india
51:42 That's obviously a 3D render. It even has all the same info on the screen as a previous render. The phone doesn't sit on the table the way it should. I'd be very cautious before handing out your money to them.
Buy a pixel phone, install grapheneos, use ADB to permanently delete the web browser, install any utility based apps you need. Done. Low cost, distraction free phone, with a choice of easily available hardware, and totally free software.
Thanks lad. Fantastic review. It's not my top choice but it's close.
What Android does the phone have?
12
Does whatapp work easily on this phone? Anyone know?
Yes. It works easily.
So instead of having the basic force of just deleting or disabling an app if you feel it has a negative effect over your life, your prefer to buy a 4 y.o. phone with funky os just to not use those few apps?
Some people do.
Is Android Auto supported? If so, this might be the one...
Not as of now.
@@JoseBriones Bummer! It's just maps, music, and messages rolled into one! Hopefully they add it later--it doesn't seem contrary to their mission statement.
@@dadface We reached out to the company who we are working with as our maps solution. It is on our roadmap to integrate with Android Auto.
Can this be used outside of the United States?
Should be good since it’s a Pixel 5 and that’s a global phone.
can it be used in eroupa ?
Yep!
As restricted as this is, to me it still looks like a smartphone lol. I love using dumbphones like the Light phone 2 and soon to be Light phone 3! Unique looking dumbphones that stand out from the crowd of slabs
Does this have the same privacy features built in as Graphene?
Very similar. It's not 1-1, but it's a lot of the core features.
Nice! Very interesting. Thanks for reviewing
Since it is based on AOSP wonder if is possible to flash Pixel phone if one owns it ? Checked page and it doesn't share firmware on the page.
I don't think they are at that stage. I believe they'll get there eventually.
@@JoseBriones Correct, It is not currently offered but it is on our roadmap to have that option!
just install grapheneos remove the browser with ADB, done. Easy to use, distraction free phone.
