Infrared was how old phones connected kinda like bluetooth. That's why on older Nokia phones you can play Snake with two phones (player 1 and 2) because of infrared.
I miss the old days when sending info is so easy, just put the phone together lol. I remember sending a lot of wallpapers to a friend (and receiving from them) using infrared
that's kinda cool tbh wish I could experience it
Infrared can be use as tv's remote control.
i love my 902kc!! it's such a great getaway phone
I Loved the video! Thanks so much, I was totally looking for a flip phone and your review was a huge help. I'm pretty sure I know which one I want now. Keep doing what you're doing, can't wait to see more of your videos. You are awesome
Thank you 🥹
I really liked your channel!! You made me buy a KYF37 😂 To try, I found it to be the best and most economical option. I would like to know more about this model, I will be watching your videos to figure it out. 🌟🌟🌟🌟thankyou!
Thank youuu 🥹 alsooo wow good phone! Excited for u to get it
i think a comparison video between this white kyocera and the Sharp aquos a205sh since they're both android 10 would be awesome! which one would you recommend ?? cause im so conflicted between these two T-T
Easily the kyf42c :)
Why not both
AYEEEE I saw this as soon as it posted! I haven't seen the whole video yet but I'm so excited! 🎉🎉
I'll comment again after the video
helloooo!!! thank you
oooh, they're all nice! 8GB rom concerned me a little but I'm not good at understanding specs anyway. it might be good for me!
thank you for the post
hi! are these flip phones suitable in the U.S? i rlly want one but i heard some arent recomended in the U.S due to like data and wifi stuff. is there any flip phones like these that u can recomend? ty!!
Hmm sorry I’m not from the US so can’t say for sure! I’ve heard from other people in the US that the 902kc and kyf42c might work there :)
@@chewyro_chewyro oh ok! tysmm!
sorry, i had a hard time understanding you during this bit; what would i need to format the micro sd card to? really interested in getting one these but defs will need more storage. thank you for all your wonderful and informative videos!
p.s., love that cute little pucca charm on the kyf37 🥰
you format the microSD to FAT32 :)
@@Arrefur thank you! my hearing is not good so it's hard to understand sometimes, lol.
So between the three, which one is the best to use in 2024? Then can the phone be used in Indonesia using an Indonesian SIM card?
Hi! Do you know what Kyocera model has the latest Android version? I’m interested in models that look like this, not those tough. Thanks!
I believe it’s the kyf42c and a202kc. Both have android 10 :)
@@chewyro_chewyro Thank you very much!
Fantastic video, chewyro! I have a question though. I have a kycera kyf31 and I love it. It came with a touch cruiser and cursor, but I have to activate it manually every time, and it disappears whenever I click something or the page refreshes. It’s very annoying as many apps just don’t work without a cursor. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you 🖤
sorry, not really sure what you mean :( maybe you can send me a video clip and I will try to help! you can dm me on IG or something
I'm attempting to find something like one of these that would work in the us for 4g
I'm thinking of buying the alt mive style folder but the kyf42c is also cool. Which one would you recommend? Also, i love your stickers. They're so cute 🥺.
Hmm I love both so it’s hard to choose. If it’s a question of use, the mive folder for sure!
@@chewyro_chewyro Ah I see 🙂
try doing a video on SoftBank DIGNO Mobile 501KC , it’s a cheap Japanese flip phone which works perfectly fine as others
it's a pretty phone, indeed! I dont have one though :(
@@chewyro_chewyro dang it :(
I'm so torn between the 902KC, A202KC and the KY-42C 🥲🥲 I'd love the newer android version but I'd also really like the flash on it, i cant pick haha.. The band across the KY-42C bugs me and it's essentially the same as an A202KC but neither have flash like the 902KC does
It really is hard to decide :( I hope you can find one soon that meets all your wants and needs in a flip phone! :)
These flip phones are so tempting :,) the only thing stopping me is the sim card and data issue, if it was possible could you make a tutorial about showing how to put the sim card in? sorry if I'm asking for much (っ °Д °;)っ your channel is helping me so much already thank you
Like how to put a sim card in the sim slot? Lol i can send you like a short video of that! Feel free to dm me on ig or something 🎂
how old are these phones? like, when were these models released
Helloo. I loved your video btw. Can you please say from where do you still buy these? And what to search to get these types of phones?
Its just not youtuber ever replies when i ask them from where did they buy this😢. Please if you can .
Hello! I get these from Ebay, FB marketplace, shopee, and sometimes from random people online.
@@chewyro_chewyro ohhh...thanks. really. Atleast u replied 😭❤️. I'll search for it.
Esto son los mejores que e visto
T-Mobile is the last carrier that supports 2g/3g but its spotty.
Thanks for the video ! Do you know if i could use these living in Europe (France) with the data and stuff? I’d love to get one but idk if it would work properly 😢
I’m from the Philippines and I honestly don’t know for sure :( I suggest checking the bands to see if it works there
i've been waiting for this comparison video !! thank you so much, it's been very helpful꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
How do you change the look of app icons on the 902kc
I was using microsoft launcher and whitcons icon pack in this video. You just download the launcher via aurora store or sideload the apk file from the website
@@chewyro_chewyrothank you so much :)
Hiii love the video❤❤ would like to ask how’s the texting whatsapp experience using the device
Pretty good! Just like how it is with a normal smartphone, except you’re using physical keypad for typing
Too cute haha I have mine too but it's not working anymore😅 but I'm still keeping them♥️

Where can I buy these phones?
which one is the best ? i think 902/903kc is the best !
The kyf42c is the best for me since it has a later android version, but 902kc is also great!
What is the battery life one these? I'm keen to get one but I'm out for work a lot and wont have access to power! I love your videos btw 💕
Hmm for me about 1-3 days. 1 day if you are using it nonstop
Actually, the model kyf42c get a new SoC called MTK A22 which has a higher pulse than the old model (Snapdragon SoC 210)
So you can get the feeling that the newest model has faster adaptive than the old one
But by the way, this still a feature phone and if I want to have one, so to use any app banking that need finger cursor or st, I won't go with these phones or I should keep the old one iPhone to do that while using this to serve my basic need?
I heard another model is Freetel Retro II but I read review and some of them are Camera quality is awful?? Is that true?
It can’t run banking apps, unfortunately. Even if it can, I wouldn’t recommend it since it doesn’t get security updates anymore. I think your iphone for that is the best thing to do
Hi, is kyf42c and kyf42 the same thing? I saw a shop listing with the latter name and wondering if it’s similar
I think they’re the same, but bands supported are different from what I know
Hi! Do you have a Kyocera 501kc LTE ? I just want to know if DITO sim card works in these phones.
I dont :( you may need to check if dito bands are supported on that phone
What app launcher do you recommend to use on these that use android 5.1?
I use stock launcher most of the time 😁 I recommend Niagara launcher since it still works with 5.1
What site can you purchase ❤
Ebay mostly!
i want a cursor mouse app for samsung folder 2 😢
There’s a third party cursor app called matvt. I’m just not sure if it will work okay with folder2
@@chewyro_chewyro i wish if i can find someone who will try it in their samsung folder 2
@@chewyro_chewyro i actually found a better one on google app called Pointy
Hi! What do you think about Kyocera A202kc? Thanks!
I don’t have it, but I know the specs is similar to kyf42c. Exterior looks like the 902kc and interior is a mix between 902kc and kyf42c (if that makes sense) lol
Is it ok if u can make a video on ur Shapr Aquos A205SH
ua-cam.com/video/VeksGyuNKEE/v-deo.htmlsi=pQIHgWcyyARkX90K
where to get one? 😭
I get them from ebay, shopee, or fb marketplace
ahh im still trying to figure out which out of Kyocera digno 902kc and Kyocera kyf42c to get TT... love your videos though, super helpful
def get the kyf42c if you have the option! it's the later model plus it runs android 10 instead of 8 (902kc)
@ thank you!
Hello! Your Discord invite isn’t working :(
Hello! Just tested and it works :( not sure why it’s not working but I read somewhere you may have to clean cache? So sorry!
Without flip has japinis fone ? Android !
heyy where do you get all the cute stickers you use to customize the phones? :)
Shopee!
Is this available in india
Why do I like the digno series better than the gratina series? :( I'm kind of salty I couldn't get my paws on the digno 902kc but I'm glad I could get the gratina kyf42 in light blue 😭
Tbf the kyf42 is the better phone between the two! I love both lol
nooo,why do they keep reducing the back part. at least keep the flash on the back for the last one. 😄
right??? it's like modern day smartphones removing headphone jacks LOL
There's no front cam on these phones? :(
No, somehow it wasn’t a thing with flipphones 😂
Such cute phones! Quick question, what telco providers do you use for those phones? P.S. I am also from the Philippines.
Smart! I almost never use my sim tho 😁
Is it possible that you could write the names of the phones in the describen or in a comment, please?
Thank you! Wrote it in my pinned comment :)
i just one that have spotify and pinterest that's all 😔
I’m not sure about pinterest, but all 3 can run spotify! :)
I wanna buy these so bad! Where did you get it?
Ebay, shopee, fb marketplace!
Lo que digo es muy bueno los tresmodelos lo univco que no destaca. Es la camara pero ami no me interesa
Lo que menos uso es la camara no soy mujeer
hello do launchers work for all 3 phones so i can change the app icons? (does the white docomo phone not have any speakers T T?)
Yup!
Can i buy from INDIA
