    That’s a feature phone.

    Man when’s the last time you heard that one?

      Feature phones typically have more “features” than dumbphones, hence the name. They almost always run Android as well which means they build in all sorts of telemetry and dependencies.

        I consider anything that even touches data (even 3gp or email) and can play MP3s a feature phone. Even if this thing didnt play MP3’s, the fact it can read ebooks I’d say makes it one.

        Is 3gp still a thing?

          You’re free to disagree. I’m not the one telling others they’re wrong for having a different perspective.

          Never heard of it, did you mean 3G?

            No, early mobile internet. Predated the smart phone boom.
