I was gonna make this comment. I currently use a 2019 Nokia 3310 (3G). Seems to be on par with the Light Minimal "smartphone", except for the hotspot. A hotspot on the 3310 would be nice, it's not like the opera mini browser can actually be used on any site more complicated than HN. And of course the screen on the 3310 is simply crap.
- blumomo 5y agoThe Nokia 8110 4G „banana phone“ is cheap feature phone which allows tethering and wifi hotspot. It’s running an older version of KaiOS, based on FirefoxOS. Can be easily rooted and bloatware is removable. Battery lasts up to a week if data is mostly turned off and flight mode turned on during night hours.
- progre 5y agoWhen I was looking for a phone (and ended up buying the 3310) I was eyeing the KaiOS Nokias as well. From what i could gather then the KaiOS software was kinda hit or miss. Some reviewer where complaining about crashes and such. There seemed to be several different hardware and software revisions going out under the same model names. Maybe carrier was a factor too. To be fair, in retrospect it has become clear that that was true for the 3310 as well. Noone I have talked to seems to have exactly the same sw/hw versions as I have. The price is a factor for me as well (yes, I'm a pennypincher). The 3310 is about half the price of any KaiOS phone.
