The Qin series shares the name of the famous Chinese dynasty, but in English, it sounds more like “chin.” The first two phones are similar in looks - 2.8” screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, tucked along with the keypad in a 132 x 53.8 x 8.5 mm body. There is a dual slot for micro SIM
The Qin 1s comes out with Spreadtrum chipset with two Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.3 GHz. RAM is 512MB, while storage is 4GB. Connectivity includes VoLTE, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2. It has a USB-C charger and stereo speakers (one which doubles as the earpiece) on the top and bottom of the phone.
Unique features include Xiaomi's Xiao AI digital assistant, smart language translator, and online radio stations. The phone runs on a heavily customized version of Android underneath.
I think that it’s looking pretty cool, but I would love to see the next version with aluminum unibody, front-& back camera, as well as a simple App Store...
I really like this phone! It dose have some drawbacks like the lack of third party apps and a camera. But I still think this phone is cool, it's interesting how it's like and older style candy bar phone but with a modern makeover.
Keep up the fantastic work on the reviews!
Without apps, kinda hard to compete, so much isnt just calls and sms now. Kai OS' concept is exciting, but when I looked at the subreddit I didn't see good praise. It sounds like the web apps slow down, and crash from memory leaks just as you would expect them to running a firefox based engine on such low powered phones.
It's ironic in a way, web apps end up being the simplest stuff, but they're actually the type of apps that require the most resources due to how poorly optimised the DOM is.
Would it really be so bad just to resurrect symbian for these feature phones? I think maybe not.
or just let them run open source linux software (like that Plasma OS, or some of the other Linux mobile projects)
Linux can definitely be used to make a super low-power OS, and the opensource community would absolutely develop many secure and powerful solutions for people.
I just wish there was a precedent for accessible Linux on mobile (for now its very difficult to install Linux on mobile, you often need a specific device, and once installed there are usability issues since the community is so small).
Even better if other vendors like Microsoft (Windows Mobile 2.0?) got in on it.
Imagine buying a phone and installing one of several mobile OSs of your choice, much like a desktop.
There are about 3 billion who don't even have cellphones, trust - this will do if really needed/really wanted (not all 3 billion of course but still). Everybody can't get flagship phones, that's the point. So, many people simply just need one to call and text (SMS) despite you saying its much more than that now, I think not.
Wish a phone like this with Nokia brand. Usb C, no camera, kaiOs or s40. Miss my Nokia 515
my life is public Whats bad about a camera 😅
@@nickart6631 yeh.I think stupid phone no need camera.
yeah i agree with,, but presently NOKIA has launched the worst Phone NOKIA 5130 that to with 2G specs,,,
expecting to launch basic 4G feature phone from NOKIA within a decade 😂 @NOKIA
@@muhammadmuizzuddin4605 you know it will be marketed directly to 3rd world countries right? But knowing HMD they'll just make a 4G version with KaiOS or even YunOS in the future.
Miss my 5130c 😒
Is that the sound of the keypad when you press it or its just a keypad tone?
Everyone gangsta until he speaks Chinese.
What's the point of KaiOS if the team behind this operating system make it resemble Android more and more, as time goes on? I don't know much about it but it used to give the impression that it would revolutionize the feature phone for a contemporary market with a whole, new set of needs, without Google's tentacles manipulating it. But that's not the case anymore.
The kind of people who need or want a feature phone, would buy one for two main reasons:
a) Affordability, which also implies ease of replacement and so on.
b) A desire to stay away from smartphones for a variety of reasons: their addictiveness, their frequent intrusion in daily activities, their many ways to invade privacy; a disregard for smartphones or an unfamiliarity to them.
KaiOS seemed to be a good contender for offering a modern, polished solution for the needs a feature phone represents as a device for basic telecommunication, but why add in wifi, apps, an AI assistant and the like? Isn't that an equivalent to slowly building an OS that's meant for smartphones instead of feature phones?
To clarify, this is NOT running KaiOS.
This is just a modified Android from Xiaomi
But I would argue (about Kai OS adding Wifi, apps, and an AI assistant), that Kai OS makes the process of using your phone simpler. But in turn it means you wont want to do more complicated actions (social media for example) because it is clunky, slow, and generally not comfortable with a d-pad and T9. You still have the ability to connect when you want to or need to, but you don't spend hundreds of dollars on hardware that makes you want to check social media all the time.
I think Kai OS's web functions are to allow people to "get away" from smart phones, without losing out on important communication functionality. Sure I'd like to avoid checking Twitter or something every day, but I'd also like to be able to send my friend a facebook message if I need to. The AI assistant just lets you do quick simple things like check weather or use google maps, ona device whose UI is restrictive for those things.
It's a great compromise. And ultimately if you just want an early 2000's feature phone, you can still buy new ones online without Kai OS (just phone functions).
well, didnt know you speak chinese!
Yeah that came out of nowhere for me.
Ami gantam
He is chinese
@@imnoman4205 didnt know that too!
Hey...u r Bangladeshi
Really awesome review! Precise, on-point, and in English. Thank you :) I just have one question. Does this phone have a built-in call recorder?
The Legendary Feature Phones Is Nokia 3310 (2017).. just amazing and i use my Secondary phone this.
I like the outlook with big keys ,hope they will do one with selfie camera
"Qin" in the brand name is not about the "Qin Dynasty" but folks, such phones in China market is for the old folks who can't get use to the latest OS.
hey man thanks a lot for the review. It has everything I need exept camera! But I will buy it. Radio, Mp3, internet, hotspot(!!!!!). Goooood:)
Can the hot key for the AI voice assistant be changed to a shortcut for another function?
Imagine the old nokia with KaiOS
Can you check wired earphones work with this phone?
internet nostalgia with nokia in one video
Great concept and performance it's so sad that Xiaomi cares very little to port this products outside if china.
Is the hotspot working properly?
Why the GPS doesn't work?
Can you use usb c headphones?
Does it have a vibration alert?

Does it have a Hotspot option that lets you use 4G internet from it.
That's the same that I'm looking for :) Do you know if is possible that?
Call me crazy, but I could see Apple copying this. It looks sleek and modern with a retro throwback theme at the same time.
Would probably be called the "iPhone S" or "iPhone Classic"
You're crazy. Apple's goal is to put out high end devices every year and stay with trends. Not appeal to niche markets
I need the one with full androids features such as play play and email
does the device support volte?
Xiaomi should do the same design as the Siemens M65, M55, MC60, C65, CX65, S65, CX75 but all in KaiOS version and with usb type c charging port, 3 to 4 inch samoled display, memory card slot up to 64GB, fm radio, flash light, 16 mega pixel rare camera with flash, 16 mega pixel front camera. That dark rectangular bar phone design is physically boring.
When it will available in India?
Does it support wifi calling?
How i can buy this product ?
nice review, thanks!
Didn't expect you knew Chinese 😲
How do I get one in Egypt?
what it support game?
Does this phone work with earbuds?
>ppl getting bored of android/iOS
>kaios is almost a thing
Come on BlackBerry just release BBos 11
Revival of BBOS would fail, mainly because of the lack of apps
Any os will fail for the lack of apps.
@@enigmamyth bbos 10 can run andriod 4.3 apps
you think you really need android 10 to watch video from some website
android just update cuz they need to
Come with Kai OS ?
What is price
Does it use google contacts
ty very much for the info. does it have touch?
Hi, can you do hotspot from the 4g network?
Too bad. There's no camera at all even for video call on wechat. There's no point for having 4g.
Agie Prayoga в магазине полно телефонов с камерами. Некоторым людям требуются телефоны без камер с расширенным функционалом. Например для работы на режимных объектах. Если нужен видео вызов, сейчас полно смартфонов, которые предназначены для этой задачи. 4g -это приятный бонус платформы на которой построен телефон.
Does this have vibrator? Thanks
This is so much better than JioPhone garbage
Hey, can this thing do a Wi-FI hotspot?
Yes you can
This is not kaiOS, Android 4.4 is installed here, and on top of it is the Chinese mocor 5 shell
nobody actually test the phone anymore, at least show how big are the numbers when you dial or test some ring tones and tell us if they are loud enough. Its a phone for goodness sake, test it like one
Exactly. They only seem to be interested in the aspects that most resemble a smartphone.
I'd love a phone like this, but with a headphone jack... and in english
And that supports Canadian cellphone bands..... and comes with english internet radio...........
And has a facebook messenger app.
....... and maybe a camera.
And an SD card....
Camera will always be shit so I agree with rest of the thing. I would rather want a good audiodac and maybe a decent battery life. It would be the best alternative phone.
This phone is far ahead of Kaios in terms of performance. KaiOs is so laggy
The phone has many features, but cant to try them because i do not know use it, does anyone know how to create a Duoqin account?, does anyone know how to use Wechat on this phone?
Yska camera nahi he kya

Bro, can you uninstall apps like fb? I'm planning to buy it.
@@kazuya-kun1249 qin1s+ original software didn't have an FB to begin with, so don't worry about it.
@@russianrabbit2261 can you remove opera mini? I want it to have no internet based apps. I want 4g just for HD voice.
@@kazuya-kun1249 basic browser, net radio, duo qin chat, and weather is the the only internet-based app in this phone.
