6 months ago I considered going full dumbphone. The best option was an unlocked jiophone 2 with KaiOS. Unfortunately, spotify has not been ported over yet and the OS is not as polished as I'd like.
I settled with Samsung's mid range line released this year. The Galaxy a20, a30 and a50 are great value for the price when rooted and stripped of all the bloatware.
- spookthesunset 7y agoYou want a dumb phone but you want Spotify? Somebody else wants a dumb phone but they want YouTube. Somebody else wants a dumb phone but they want candy crush. Congratulations. This is why dumb phones don’t exist. Nobody actually wants them.
- Antoninus 7y agoSmartphones barely beat the feature phone market share in 2013. That is not too long ago. Q1 2019 saw a 40% market share with high adoptions in India, Africa and Latin America. This is because in developing countries, data is expensive. I believe you know better than the multiple investors putting 80m into KaiOS to enable whatsapp, facebook messenger and hopefully spotify on features phones. People smart phones, they just can't afford them. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/kai-technologies https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/kai-technologies
