    i've been doing a lot of research on getting a flip phone, and the kyocera kyf42c seems like the most promising candidate so far!! it's so cute, and i appreciate that it gets android 10 so i can use most basic communication apps. i know this phone can't do google services so no gmail, but does it have a general email app, or would i have to use the browser for email? thanks so much for these videos, they're so informative and i love seeing how you decorate your phones! 🥰
    edited to add i want a flip phone for a hardcore social media detox, which is the biggest reason i don't want the mive folder. feel like it would be way too easy to fall back into old habits 😅

Though I have one problem, cuz some people say gcash does not work on the mive? And does the DITO sim works? I currently use the DITO sim as my main sim and am not planning on changing or replacing it anytime soon

    also, GACKT-SAMAAAAAAAAA
    I love jp flip phone style but I wish they keep the touch cursor and 3.5mm port. Vol button also a minus point also
    As for anyone curious about the retro II, I don't have it but I had chance to experience it for few hours so can tell a bit:
    it uses android 13 (not the go ver), has fingerprint unlock, back camera is 48MP so has best camera for all the "dumb" flip phone on the market right now, yes it has front cam also.It ofc has wifi, gps, bluetooth, nfc, hotspot.
    4GB ram so most apps run very decently even discord
    Only thing stop me to buy it because it's quite pricy (sorry I'm cheap and poor) and it's look fragile too, the phone owner glare me damn hard when I close the phone a bit... strongly and I'm a clumsy person too so nvm

    I really wanted a flip phone, I like the idea of ​​opening and closing it to answer calls, I also liked that the MIVE has Android. Nowadays I use UA-cam more, almost no social media. But currently I have an ❤ iPhone 13 Mini ❤, and the idea of ​​exchanging it for an Android flip phone doesn't seem like a good deal to me.
