I love that the video quality and talking without a script and fancy animations make it more "human". It matches your experience with the phone incredibly well.
I love this trend so much. This is what everything looked like when I was a teen. As I went through my 20s I noticed that concerts were less fun, parties were filled with people on their phones, everything lost the kind of simple intimacy that it used to have. So happy to see younger people escaping the soul sucking rectangles.
I've always been aware of how addictive phones are, but that doesn't mean I haven't become sucked into it myself.
I'll be scrolling on Instagram and hate myself for doing it and I'll keep doing it. They're designed to be addictive and it definitely works!
@@theliopleurodon True. They spend millions- scraping user data, hiring scientists to predict behavior patterns, and psychologists to help exploit known weaknesses. It's kinda evil.
If you don't want to be a distracted mess then you need to ditch the phone and unplug from social media, or medicate. There's this constant itch to pull out the phone out and start checking stuff that doesn't even matter.
Agree totally. As a 44 year old with a 6 year old daughter, I miss the unconnected time when I was a uni with Nokia 5110 and disposable cameras. I worry about my daughter and smart phones / social media. I teach in high school and students act like crazed addicts if their phones get confiscated. I'm getting a 'dumbphone' soon. I want to set an example for my daughter and students. Practice what I preach.
One day I randomly had an urge to cancel my unlimited data plan and my subscription services. almost one year of having an offline music library and pretty much only using the internet when I'm at home. Makes lunch breaks terribly boring but other than that I think life is better this way. I hope more people out there pick up on this kind of living.
i ordered at cat s22 flip phone for this reason
Yeah, I think I'm going to cancel my unlimited data plan too since basic internet is enough to run WhatsApp and I already have downloaded songs on Spotify.
Great video.
I'm a Japanese writer. My name is mikan oshidari（忍足みかん）. A woman in her 20s.
I was also addicted to my smartphone.
It was so serious that I went to a psychiatrist.
It was too painful, so I changed to a dumb phone. It's for mental health.
Then it's very comfortable. No need to spend the day staring at a screen or worrying about notification sounds.
I am publishing my experience. The title is ``I want to quit being a slave to my smartphone.''
Smartphone addiction is a serious problem worldwide.
When I use a dumb phone, I'm sometimes told that it's "old" or "uncool," but for a smartphone addict, it's like medicine.
I think it would be great if digital detox became more widespread.
I want the goodness of dumb phones to be better known.
I made the decision to buy this phone a couple weeks ago too! I started to understand my phone addiction.. Using this phone is 2023 is a bit of a challenge but, after about 5 days you start to feel a lot better and I personally began to make more productive decisions on my downtime.
Hey, I'm glad to have stumbled across this video. I live in England and I've been using a Nokia 225 for the past 3 years, I switched just after finishing uni. I don't know anyone else here who uses a dumphone, so it was cool to hear your thoughts. I definitely agree with what you said about dumbphones letting you build better connections with people. I think social media and group chats kind of trick your brain into thinking you have 100s of friends - when really you just have a bunch of extremely shallow acquaintances. It was only after getting a dumbphone and having no way to stay in touch with people other than texting them directly that I had to filter all my friendships though "do I just know this person because we're in the same social circles, or would they actually want to text me regularly and meet up 1-1 in person?". And through that I realized I don't actually have dozens of friends, I probably have about 3. But I started texting those people more, started meeting up with them more, and built up a level of connection with those friends that I'd never experienced before. My friendships became more quality over quantity.
I just got mine yesterday and I love it! I was really underwhelmed with how little it does but that's good because It means it doesn't have all the junk I want. I only really wish it had discord or a dummy version of it because it's how I talk to anyone who isn't my family.
I just use discord on my laptop.
I used to have discord on my phone until I realised how much I was on it and deleted it off my phone.
It's a shame how we practically need phones to be in contact with other people
shes so beatiful fr fr 🥲
Watching this from my nokia 6300, got it yesterday and looove it. Very glad i made the switch finally, and yeah i relate a lot to you. Great phone too :)
Glad you made the switch! Hope you enjoy your Nokia :3
This is crazy! I was just thinking about all of his yesterday, and here I am watching your video. I can relate to you in so many ways. I face the same issues of constantly being on my phone, I want to read more too but can't pay attention for longer, and I was also thinking of getting a Nokia 2720 flip (but its somewhat expensive here) for starting my "digital detox journey". Thanks for making this video! I'll check out this phone. Good and warm wishes for your journey Lio! ❤💐✨
The nokia 2720 is also quite pricey here, it's a shame because phones with less features should really cost less, but they don't. You can buy nokia smartphones for cheaper!
Great vid! The country where I live has a ton of “dumb phones” everywhere. I might grab one during school holidays.
Ps. Your wall has such a 2010 fandom vibe to it I love it so much, especially the doctor who one. Have you seen the latest episodes lol
I love the video quality! It takes me back in time! You earned a sub with that stinky video quality!
Back in 2019 I switched to a blackberry, besides focusing on study a lot more, I've listened to lots of audiobooks, those phones are really productivity focused, no bulshit
We got both Orwell and Huxley. Social media isn't just worthless cheap entertainment, it's also spyware. TikTok is like digital crack, but also Chinese spyware.
Yeah I agree, our society is like both of those novels combined. One of the reasons why I wanted to quit social media
By the way , if you want a more old-school phone with smart apps, blackberries are a great option. The newer models have a touch screen and can download apps, so you can keep Spotify, What'sapp, and the apps for your church.
My aunt will hand me down her QWERTY phone and I'm almost excited 📱🚫✨
@@wisdomcries blackberries aren’t supported anymore
i fucking love these "person talks to camera" videos so much! they're so therapeutic to me :) yours reminds me of terry davis (rip) rambling on about random fucking shit and i love love love it so much 🤩
also i love your personality reminds me a lot of myself 💖
Thank you so much for the kind words :)
Very smart, I was mixing a dumb dumb phone outdoors and a smartphone with just whatsapp and UA-cam for a year but it still gets back in your hands and I noticed being lazy to read and I bought the 6300 its coming in a few days, I cant wait. And also you are very pretty and you have a good mindset
And nice stickers
Eat your cereal
Thank you for the kind comment. Let me know how you get on with the 6300
@@theliopleurodon will do
the video format is so cozy ❤️
Great video! I can definitely relate to being on social media too much. Though I've never had a phone myself, I've always had some form of technology to spend hours on watching videos or reading fanfiction instead of actual books like I used to all the time. And since I'll need a phone at some point, I've been looking into feature (aka dumb) phones for their simplicity and durability (since it's not just an entire screen). Plus they look really cool! Though I may not get this one specifically, your review was very helpful! Oh, and if you REALLY still want to listen to music going somewhere, I suggest getting an iPod or mp3 player. Though it does involve downloading the music, it's totally worth it and super easy! Neat Dr. Who background for your phone by the way! Also, the walls of your bedroom and your Sonic t-shirt are awesome.
I love this side of UA-cam
Great review😊 I liked how you noticed that with a Nokia phone you have been more present in the moment. It’s great that you have noticed that you started to reconnect more with people and books.
Thank you for these lovely videos 🙏🏽 It's really inspiring to see someone who actually made the change to a "dumbphone" cause I and I think many people are thinking about it but just don't make the step. I also wasn't aware of the fact that you can have some apps on it.
And I would be curious how old you are cause you look really young but you seem really intelligent and mature. Much love 🙏🏽☺️
Coming to team dump phone really soon 🤚🏻
can't believe i got an ad for a smartphone in the middle of watching this 🙄 brilliant video btw, ive been using a dumbphone (nokia 2660 flip) for a while now and its definitely been helpful to me. if you really want music, an mp3 player or portable cd player might be a good investment :)
Interesting 😲 I am on a anti-social trip since long - but due to my type of work I have to stick to a smartphone, but I do use old nokia phones to bring back the memories of the old times. Just like the quality of your video reminds of the good old days :P I surely hope someday I get to do a full smartphone detox like I have done to my social media.
Thank you for sharing this video. Smartphones are making people dumb and dumber. Ironically I'm using smartphone to watch this video😂.
Good on ya, keep going you will continue to feel better everyday.
I love your shirt!!!! I had a sonic obsession when i was younger in the 90. I had sega geniss and saturn always playing his games. i have iPhone 14 plus and ipad 10 gen. Silver cell data 256g. Love em both.
90s rules!!!❤❤❤
I'm thinking on switch my smartphone for a simple and pretty dumbphone, here's my 2 reasons:
1.- Always loved the 2K phones, the phones of now are boring, the aesthetc of the 2k phones has very creative designs, check the desings of sony ericsson and nokia from 2000
2.- I'm getting tired of social media, stay all day in a stupid screen doesn't make me feel good, and of course, procrastination.
Probably have a dumbphone makes my life less hard, free of whatever happen in social media and have more activity
The dumbphones are from smart people
One of the ways around no Spotify is to buy a fitness watch which has integrated Spotify, for example a Garmin. Then you can use wireless earbuds with the watch to access your offline playlists. Wearing a watch is unobtrusive and nowhere near as distracting as a phone, plus it encourages you to stay active!
Ps. I really like how clear and wise you sound.
i just removed all the social media apps from my iphone kinda fixed my addiction and if it wasnt for me using it for other things too i would probably ditch it for a "dumb" phone too 😅
Using a social media people just stopped talking 😢 I switched to a black berry and I’m very happy of my decision so far
very helpful, thank you
very indo european in fact
I'm also trying to be more minimalistic in my digital life. But instead of changing my phone, I started with getting rid of my overpowered PC, replacing software for more minimal once (currently I'm on the fence between simple and working out the box solutions like GNOME, and minimal, manually configured one like bspwm). Moreover I made every my digital device to be a grayscale, because I found myself colors is so destructive. Now I'm wondering to get rid of a smartphone.
your computer is not the problem when you use a computer you make a
conscious desion to sit and use it but with a smartphone it sort of just happens
日本でもスマートフォン中毒が社会問題になっています。
あなたのビデオはとても勉強になりました！
I want to get a dumbphone but the conversions of dollars in my money currency, it would be difficult, its almost 100.000 pesos.
And I wanted to ask, how is the whatsapp? all the videos that I have seen, no one talks about it :(
Does this take spectrum??
what did you use to film this video? its so 🥰🥰🥰 comfyy
I actually just used my laptop, I have a lenovo ideapad 3 :)
I actually thought the video was meant to be 4:3 to have a vintage feeling ^^
Pl do a review of this phone model specifically. Does the battery discharge too quickly as reported
desperate to get this model or the nokia 2720 flip but both are out of stock. Any ideas if they might be restocked anyone?
@@benmclaren not sure... have you tried looking on amazon or even considered getting a seconf hand one?
@@theliopleurodon Yeah nothing... I've seen one on cex but reports of being fake or faulty - will keep trying :)
Great video!!
Does the whatsapp, google maps, and mobile hotspot work well on your Nokia 6300?
I have been trying to get this same model but keep running into counterfeits.. :(
WhatsApp works perfectly fine.
I'd actually suggest looking at some other dumbphones as I've ran into some issues with this one to do with the keypad and it being really slow.
I haven't used google maps or hotspot with this phone, but I'd suggest heading over to reddit and asking in r/dumbphones as the community is lovely and would answer your question better than me! Hope you can find the right dumbphone for you :)
Does whatsapp still work in 2024@@theliopleurodon? Considering buying one
Can we install air strike on the Nokia 630 4g?
Funny how often you say “like”…. As a foreigner it is remarkable to hear.
I quitted the video when you said that people do not like to listen for a long time. You are right.
But your message is 100% right. 👍
It something a lot of Gen Z girls do. I wish I didn't do it that much as I think it makes me sound kinda stupid
good for you! I'm getting one.
You look like a Hollywood celebrity!
I definitely have an addiction to my phone but I don’t care because i can have it all the time anyway it’s not like being addicted to something that you have to buy over and over again
to me the most important app to have on a phone that we dont have on a regular 4g phone is google maps. it is useful when driving, taking bus, biking or walking. these so called dumb phones are actually smart cause they still have calendar,notes,music player,videoplayer, calculator, camera, voice recorder and compass. these features to me are features of smartphone. i dont consider phones capable of running facebook, ig, and other social media a smartphones. they should be called social media phone not smartphones
hey bro i see you haven't rly been active here but i love the fact that you are also a Christian and making bible study videos, i also am interested in getting a dumb phone because i think i am too distracted by my iphone but yeah. thank you for this video and God bless you ♡
Thank you for the comment! I'm not hugely active but I read every comment! God bless :3
Are you still using this phone
can you delete apps off the phone such as youtube?
You can delete facebook, but you can't delete youtube or disable it. However, the quality is so incredibly bad that I never felt tempted to use it and so it was like it was never there
You’re so pretty!!!!
@@weeeee33 thanks
your so right...
I use my smartphone mainly for watching videos or researching stuff i use wifi and hardly ever call anyone exept family when i have to. But i am thinking of getting this to curb my smartphone addiction. I miss when i had my first dumbphone it was a tracphone it was sorta small and i thought that thing was the shit. Lol.
Was it tough to not grab your smartphone?
Not really to be honest. I turned it off completely and put it in a drawer.
My smartphone isn't really useful anymore s I don't have a SIM so I can't text anyone or use whatsapp and I deleted all my social media a while before switching to a dumbphone, so I had no reason to use my smartphone.
Daily Mail have just shared your video in an article about you.
Great video
Nice
Lol the cat spawned out of nowhere
Hahaha I know
❤
Have you been able to delete UA-cam?
Love you ❤❤❤❤
You’ve removed apps you deemed toxic from your Samsung phone anyway so that issue was resolved. You can limit usage of smartphones without having to give up on convenience. If you’re concerned about data being collected, the phone you are using contains google and meta apps so your data is still being collected. Hi Toby
Nokia banana phone is so nice
Has Whatsapp stopped working on this phone?
@@hanasschoolwork4564 not sure. I have heard that KaiOS doesn't work anymore on Nokia products but I don't know for certain
@@theliopleurodon I see... sounds like no more whatsapp then. I really want to get a dumphone but having no bank apps, authenticator or whatsapp would be hard. I wish they made a hybrid phone. One that could do all that but wasn't as addictive.
downloading the music isn't so bad. that's what i am going to do
im sure you dont use the phone anymore but it has twitter right? from what i see it does... i know you can use the web browser or whatever but still... its the only social media app i actually use!
No it doesn't have Twitter
Hi from Australia! Just wanted to say I’ve really enjoyed your videos. As many have said to you before, your videos are what UA-cam should be, not the endless rubbish that most channels produce. I hope things are well at Bible Study College. Maybe one day we can hear about how that is going? :).
May “The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
Hi there! Thanks for your comment
Numbers 6 is one of my all time favourite passes in the bible ♡
Bible college is going so well! I'm doing ministry placements at the moment but will be finished it soon.
Its been a lot of academic work but It's been so great learning so much about God and learning how to use that to spread the Good News to other people
OH MY GOSH ITS WINONA RYDER!?!?!?!?!\
It's funny to realize that social media is bad and even switch to a dumb phone ...and as a result posting it on social media
I dont think social media = bad.
I think on the whole social media had more negative outcomes than positive.
I never said I wanted to stop being on social media at all, there are parts of it that I really love and I still check Facebook, instagram and discord everyday I'm just not on it obsessively like I was when I had these apps on my phone where I could have access to them anywhere
@@theliopleurodon You are right ...I didn't mean you have said it. I thought you felt it. I am convinced social media is bad for all of us. I really do. On the other hand I als use it. Not so much in terms of "social" media but of course in terms of media.
I come across your video bc I am looking in dump phones for years now. - I switched back the first time like 2013isch ...
Still from day to day on it ...but as I said - more as media content ...than as social media. - I do have probably less than 5-10 communications like this per year :) ...
Have fun with your way ...less is more sometimes
I just saw ...you have on your channel also videos like - read the bible with me ...that is cool! I love it. And yes ...I do this as well - even online :)
girl I wanna be ur friend 😭
Is a phone (Nokia 6300) with Kai OS, Facebook, webbrowser and Whatsapp a dumphone? Maybe not.
I have a Nokia 225 that can only text and call. It is nog getting dumber than that 🙂
It's not really a dumbphone as it does have smart apps. It's more of a feature phone :)
Oh my God You R Stunning.... Beautiful. .sweet girl.... Love from srilanka
Спасибо за видео❤️
You're welcome :)
Smart phones a curse.
how to get in touch with you? I am very similar. I want to quit all the social media (seriously, to delete the accounts) and unnecessary internet use. And I am also on my way to Christianism.
And I also walk barefoot. I want to join the community of alike people.
And i am ready to move anywhere right now.
I would appreciate if we could talk!
Thanks a lot.
p.s I am not a scam or pervert.
You are so cute
I like you wall
Thank you! It's my 'interest' wall which has taken me about 2 years to paint
'promo sm' 😞
Promo 😔
