- I was searching TEMU and found this smart phone… for $75?? So I had to pick it up and see how it works. Let me know if you think it was worth the money!
It looks like this phone was discontinued for some reason... but if you search "smart phone" on temu, you'll find some other cheap smart phones: temu.to/m/uruvfyffg54

Man TEMU has a little bit of everything 😂 what do you think about this $75 phone?
Also btw, this phone does have a micro SD card slot, which is cool. It’s in the same tray as the SIM card, I just glanced at it and assumed it was dual SIM
FYI, your SIM card doesn't work because the phone only supports GSM carriers like T-Mobile, and since Verizon is CDMA, there is a compatibility issue preventing the phone from working properly.
You should do a jerryrigeverything durability test with it
Takes a braver man than I to use a personal email on a Temu phone. Would have used one of my 32 burners, if that.
Edit: Small gripe at the end. Definitely not a 400$ phone. The price tag of 75$ is pretty much on point for what you get, or even a little more than it should be.
you said that it would cost like 400 but its much lower cuz i got a 360 dollars phone and i got a 120hz display, a snapdragon 690 processor, 4gb ram 128 storage and performs really well in call of duty, much better then that phone
@@paranoideyt3315 Bro for 350 bucks there's phones out there with OLED, 12GB RAM, 512GB Storage and performance matching the S23 Ultra...
Go edition means it is designed for the cloud. Good for low storage.
Android Go is a Lite Version of Android. It’s found on a lot of cheaper low end phones, it’s less resource intensive and uses the cloud to help it run. Also I didn’t get a good look at the sim tray however it looks like it was just a standard sim/sd card tray and not a dual sim tray as you stated. I do think the phone ever connected to any cellular network, I think the LTE status popped up at some point as the phone attempted to automatically search for some network, once you connected it to WiFi it stopped but I believe that was a false positive on the LTE. As for the extra RAM, that feature is something similar to what windows did back in Windows 7 with Ready Boost(win7 allowed Physical HDD storage partitions or more preferred High Speed SD Cards or USB Drives to act as volatile memory) So in this case for the phone I would imagine the feature dedicates a certain amount of ROM from the built in or SD card. Typically as I recall this technology would act as half the amount of RAM per Allocated Memory, so for every 2GB of volatile memory dedicated you get 1 GB of “RAM”
@@ArthurLiberty It's similar to what Samsung does with their phones and RAM. My phone has 4 GB, but with the feature turned on I can get 6 GB but it's taking 2 GB away from internal storage and calling that RAM. It's obviously slower memory, but I'll use it anyway. Not like I'm going to let it go to waste when I have 128 GB of storage.
Some do not like it because it's not the same performance. But it's better than dealing with 4 GB of RAM. But yes Android Go is good for Google apps that are optimized for the phone and not so good with 3rd party apps you install. I wouldn't install any apps on that phone except for something like Text Now or Google Voice and make calls that way. If you're not committed to staying in Google's ecosystem I wouldn't waste my time with an Android Go phone.
In old Norway, I can move my body down to the local electronics pusher store and buy
a descent, solid Motorola smartphone for $90
Same in the US, actually. I bought 2 Moto 5G phones, they were $100 ea.
He calls the headphone jack an "auxiliary port", I'm so old...
I mean trusting to put your credentials in on an unknown brand phone is risky.
Putting your info into TEMU is just as risky .
put a custom rom and custom kernel. no more worries.
But trusting to put your credentials on google and apple is not risky?
@@ahmadahmal2942 it is google
@@omagalifty Good luck finding custom rom for that thing
Only in American, phone companies think they can control what phones will work on their network. For me in Belgium, I can put my sim in any phone I want, and it will work.
I also have a RAM expansion feature on my Xiaomi 14 that goes up to extra 8 GB. Basically under very heavy usage loads, your phone will temporarily use some of its available storage capacity as additional RAM to prevent performance issues.
Its just paging.
@@orangeyellow-me1pz No, it's not
it is, storage is nowhere near as fast as ram so it can't be used in real time, so yeah it's just paging@@xXVibrantSnowXx
stumbled across your channel. so far like your content. hope to see your channel grow
*the fact that the phone had 69% battery from the factory* 💀
There were always lots of brands and models from known brands in Middle East at the main retailers that you would not see in the west at all.
HMD who now own Nokia brand have just launched their own branded phones that are between £99-149 and look fairly similar spec to what you have there
The phone probably can't make a call over 4G, likely lacking support for voice over LTE which is causing calls not to be made since Verizon does not operate a 2G or 3G network.
Even with 2G still available, things can be finicky. EE (basically UK T-Mobile) recently turned off 3G here and people have been having issues receiving calls on some resellers or some phones.
Yeah I'm honestly not sure if it supports volte or not - I searched around later and figured out this phone is a GSM phone, so it doesn't support verizon. I would try a gsm carrier like att or tmo on it to see if it supports volte, but I don't have an active sim card with either of those. But you're probably right, I'd be surprised if a phone this cheap supports volte
@@SmokinSilicon T-Mobile is the only one that still operates a 2G network nationwide in the US afaik, they were supposed to shut it down in April but I think they delayed it. I have seen what looks to be 2G calls from T-Mobile still working fine though.
Lucky enough to still have 2G and 3G running over here (for now) though.
@smokinsilicon
neither at&t nor t-mo are officially gsm carriers anymore, at&t killed gsm in 22 (also a BYOP) whitelist, t-mo has 2g still but it can only be used thru mvno's
Me watching this video on a 125$ phone
As I watch it on a $1700 iPhone but somehow can’t get over the fact that I’m still going to end up buying the iPhone 16 pro max this fall… smh at myself lol
Me watching this video on my $80 samsung I got 2 years ago 👀
Me watching this video on my Samsung fold 3 which cost me $2200 upon release
I use to work for a MetroPcs Corporate retail store back in the day and back in 2015 we use to have legit $20-30 dollar phones like the Alcatel One Touch Fierce, Kyocera Hydro waterproof phone, Zte brands, Samsung admire/exhibit, and soo many more which were basically a steal.
$25 ish dollars in 2015 was around $35 is now, and I don't think you can get any smart phone for $35 anymore. Soon T-mobile started skyrocketing the prices and adding contracts.
You should've tried it with mint mobile, they support all phones even Chinese phones
The reason why you lose service when attempting to make a call it seems like your carrier attempts to connect to older networks like 3G or 2G to make calls but since 2024 almost all the carriers in the USA have shut down 3G & 2G but t-mobile still offers 2G but it will shut down on 2nd of April of this year and Verizon doesn't have 3G or 2G anymore same with AT&T so you need VoLTE to make calls via LTE and either the phone doesn't support VoLTE or from a different region and USA Carriers with VoLTE might not work with a phone from different region in am not sure but hope this helps
UK still has 3G and 2G which we call EDGE, we never even get 5G, only 4G
I get 5G UK@@Cut3_Bunny
Vodafone has shut off 3g and 2g calling so you can only use 4g. Some parts of the country gets 5g though.
@@lizvickers7156 oh ok im on. Tesco mobile and i have 2G, 3G and 4G and 5G
Yeah I later looked it up and figured out this is indeed a gsm phone, so verizon doesn't work on it. I would try a tmo or att sim if I had an active one. But considering this is a cheap temu phone - you're right, I'd be kinda surprised if this does support volte
For a phone when parents takes your phone... It's Perfect
Yeah like a burner phone, or a spare to bring to school so if your teacher takes your phone give her this lol
Android Go, officially Android (Go edition), is a stripped-down version of the Android operating system, designed for low-end and ultra-budget smartphones (but is also used by some tablets). It is intended for smartphones with 2 GB of RAM or less and was first made available for Android Oreo.
at 7:18 is shows when he swipes down it is a google software look
Freeyond was born out of the ashes of the erstwhile Gionee smartphone , a lot of the ex employees and directors got together and started a company called freeyond.
They cater to the latin market more
It is likely set up for a GSM frequency network. Verizon is mostly CDMA.
Extended is maybe the virtual ram which use your phone storage as ram
Is that useful or?, like does it actually work as real ram?
@@fenneckilv8602 no it doesn't work like a real ram and it is useless and a marketing gimmick to fool people that they will get more ram as nowadays brands itself give 6gb ram in almost every phones and it is more than enough
On low end phones its good but the speed of your storage is much much slower than ram so things are gonna load slower.I used it on my 8gb ram phone and it slows games and apps down a lot so a no for powerful phones but for weak maybe a little bit better also my storage ufs 3.1 pretty fast storage like the iphone 13 I think
@@IoanMoldovan-lb6pi yaa it is only useful in 2gb ram mobiles that is sold in very low cost those mobiles cannot handle background task and always clear the ram so it will be helpful to those phones
@fenneckilv8602 It probably keeps things from crashing all the time, but storage is REALLY SLOW for keeping data the CPU has to access. It's just going to be sluggish.
a Lite Version of Android. It’s found on a lot of cheaper low end phones, it’s less resource intensive and uses the cloud to help it run. Also I didn’t get a good look at the sim tray however it looks like it was just a standard sim/sd card tray and not a dual sim tray as you stated.

Typically as I recall this technology would act as half the amount of RAM per Allocated Memory, so for every 2GB of volatile memory dedicated you get 1 GB of “RAM”
On some carriers, you actually have to call the carrier to give them the IMEI information of the phone before the tower will let it register specially with Verizon or other networks as such you don’t have to really do that with T-Mobile or Metro with T-Mobile or MVNO of T-Mobile
that's only metro & boost
the fact temu sells phones is shocking
No
Android (Go edition) runs lighter and saves data, making more possible on many low end devices. This phone has 2 gb ram plus 2 gb expandable for a total of 4gb ram. Also that is a hybrid sim slot, either it will support 2 sim cards or 1 sim and 1 microsd card expandable to 1 tb storage. Camera should work fine in bright light.
I just bought shorts, slides and a t-shirt for 13 bucks on Temu
Free shipping
how do they do it?
Bro I'm just letting you know the last time you got a drone off teammate and you put the link in your description teemo scanned me for over €100
In my place things on temu app is actually more expensive than other online shopping app. It looks like cheaper for the western people probably because you can only choose from Amazon , wish, and eBay?
Not dual Sim lol. It's for SD card 😂
Yeah, Android GO is a lite version
Good burner phone. Probably should install one of those calling apps and go that route, since it is not fully compatible with American cellular networks. Limits you to WiFi but at least youll be able to make a call.
2.4 in 2024 though hard pass 😅
Where's the link to the phone? What's the phone's name or model?
It take gigs of memory use it as ram Even Samsung does it. Surprise you haven't heard of it,it been around for few yrs now.
Sorry.. how much was the phone?
Is the Play certified?
I bought a TCL 20x e it was alright speakers were better cameras was better processing power was most likely worse from what I remember but my point is most discounted phones are phones with lower prices do support 5 gigahertz network from what I've noticed so that is a little bit weird but given it is a company that's lesser known
Feels like a dream, feels like magic
"it has dual sim!"
That's not a dual sim, it's a single sim with a microSD slot so you can expand the storage, likely by up to a terrabyte.
He doesn't know that, he's an apple user 😂😂. He calls the stereo jack "auxiliary". they forgot what a stereo jack is 😂😂
0:52 "humongus"
2GB extended ram is swap files, like on PCs
I think it's trying to imitate the RAM Plus feature on Samsung phones
Yes
@@DanielTheBigDits the same thing, even on samsung. genius
@pedr0_m198 my brain so smooth I don't even know if that's an insult
@@DanielTheBigD lol yeah, I apologize for being rude. But its basicallt the same feature.
My comment was not nice, I apologize
This 75 dollar phone is much faster than my current one😅 I can't even play cod mobile it just freezes every 2 seconds for one second. I wish I had a phone like this
Good enough for a kid to use on wifi. Cheaper than the ipod touch was.
At least it's not one of those WELCOME phone. 😂😂
400 bucks for this phone nah
For 400 bucks s23fe
I'm in the mindset that if your kids under like idk 12-13 they shouldn't have a phone with unrestricted internet access but at the same time if your one of those parents with poor parenting skills this cheap phone makes sense for a first time phone imo because if they break it your not losing too much and you could add a few not so demanding games for them to play but like I said I don't think kids should have unrestricted internet access so put on some parental controls at least
Im actually tempted to get one just to use as an mp3 player but im sure theres better options out there
They shouldn't have a phone
@@kissadev. In this day and age, kids that age (12-13) should have a phone, my mom said she felt much safer about me going out to hang out with friends or whatever when she got me a phone, so yeah.
5:53 you leaked your ip
Whoops
that's his public ip that can be accessed by anyone, if he showed his ipv4 address then it would be a concern
Doesn't really matter it's public
Woopsie daisy 😊
id assume he knew that as they have dynamic router meaning their ip changes every 30 minutes or so
2:11 Soo besically android go is a version of android made to run on low spec phones
Manually change APN settings
the Oppo A77 5G has ram expansion but really idk if it really works at all
For 200 or less u could get the a15 5g which is a hugh upgrade. Or the tcl phone which might be better as well.
Tons of great Motorola phones under $200USD also
For under $100 you can get an old Samsung flagship and get better experience
Need to show if it would make calls
the phone I'm using right now has earphone connection function but no earphone jack 🤦
That shit is better running COD mobile than my P7P 😭
I would buy that any day of the week.
Try a SIM compatible with Asian 3G/4G frequencies like AT&T or T-Mobile
This blue color reminds me of the blue iPhone 5c. Is it just me?
It's not available on temu
I can't find any smartphone or tablets on my temu app
Bro really put his SIM into a Chinaphone
everything is chinese these days
Well good for a cheap phone 😊
That phone looks a lot like POCO, ngl💀
2:48 "FBI Surveillance Van #563" what?? 💀
It was other FBI vans up there too 😂
That's what lazy people with no imagination name their wifis 😂😂. Copy each other is always easy
Link please?
Awesome 😂😂😂😂awesome entertaining
Can it record phone calls ? That is my number one tech I look for in a mobile !.
Is this the different host
Freeyond sounds like it's freedom and beyond got mashed together to feel like a "new" kind of name. Unfortunately performance is not "freedom" or "beyond" by any means as its still typical parts bin socs of mediatek slapped in
"FBI Surveillance Van"
You have a tech channel? Yo
Temu meme is crazy
The less you pay the more you get out of the box hahaha.
This is not no 400 dollar phone lmaoooo 11:23
Not duel sim.. One is for a sd card
I'm pretty sure the cheap Chinese phones don't work on Verizon networks because of locked frequency
The M5A is $300 on Best Buy.
Somewhere around the world this was there first phone
Maybe china
@@dopodhtcthe country "China" where most big smart phone companies like xiaomi,huawei,oppo ,vivooneplus come from... sure buddy..more like first phone for people in some third world countries in africa
Or probably some kids first phone, because many parents don't want to (or can't spend) a lot of money on a phone, or the kid has to buy it with his own money. I knew this kid who's first phone was one of those crappy government phones, because his parents didn't want to buy him a phone, so his dad got him a government phone. (He hated that POS, battery life was crap and it was slower than slow, got hot, like searing hot, and it was so poorly made it had a plastic screen, rather than glass) And after he actually convinced his parents to pay for a proper phone, we took apart his old one. My God have I never seen a more poorly constructed device, like I figured it wouldn't be good, but wow it was just sloppily put "together" and the cheap plastic screen was cracked (they didn't make phone cases or protectors for whatever that thing was) and every time his thumb touched it a piece of plastic cut his thumb. POS device for sure.
Sim not working probably because it's not auto configuring the APN.
I think we need a counter for how many times he said $75. Great video overall
*Fun Fact*
you meantion _$75 phone_ 43x in this video🤓
I love how no matter the opinion on the phone, whether it be good or bad, the price point will always validate the reason. 😂👍🏾
FBI van wifi? bruh what did this guy do wrong?
It won't recognize your sim card coz us bot for US version
tip: cover the cameras with tape to avoid chinese spyware
Jeez!! You Yanks are scared of your own shadows.😄🇬🇧
it's a GSM phone, Verizon is CDMA
How much was the phone ? I am not sure he mentioned the price
I had go edition .thats Like Google lite
uhm anybody going to menchion that BRO HAS A FBI SURVALENCE VAN!?!?! WHAT!
If it runs on android, I CAN MOD IT ( I actually only have 3 android devices and 1 of them runs, and it’s a vr that runs on android that I can mod
Better off buying a used s8 or s9
It's called Freon Gas. Not FreeYond phone ; )
You should've tried to root it.
pretty similar to redmi a1
Android Go is a lighter version of android made for cheap phones who do not have the hardware to run properly the normal version
75 dollars not 120hertz screen iPhone 15 not 120 hertz screen but cost 999 dollars lol. you are a good youtuber deserve more subs!
maybe the sim isnt working bc its american sim or smth
I’d try to flip that if I were you 👍
my moto E13 is a lot faster and cheaper brand new 💀
My mom almost got her BRD card blocked but she fixed it.
Not bad
That is a knockoff smartphone right there I can tell cuz I have the same model but it's a legit model that I got from Amazon
Youre not really supposed to take the sticker off the phone.
