Also with an analogue, cabled headset, it can pick up radio stations.
Headset cost $20 bucks. Not amazing, but shockingly good bass compared to a $20 dollar headset from when the first iPhone came out.
Nope, the phone is not made out of titanium.
I have dropped it plenty of times and its fine, no screen cracks or broken buttons, hell, I even accidentally dropped it fully into a bath tub once.
Turned it off, popped the back cover and the battery out, left it alone for 2 hours to dry out.
Its fine, no damage whatsoever.
I entirely fail to see why absurd processing power is necessary for anything beyond some mobile games, which are crap.
I have some ok free games 2D games, but theres only so much you can do with a touch screen.
This $200 piece of crap can run 99% of what 99% of people use their phones for 99% of the time.
Only downsides are no games, no stupidly high resolution cameras.
EDIT: I have been a software developer, database admin/dev, data analyst. Stereotypical tech worker in many ways. Never fucking understood why getting a 1000+ phone every year or two made any sense to anyone.
No games and no good camera aren’t small issues. I suppose the no games part can be minor, but not having a good camera means you have to carry an actual camera around if you want good pictures, and that’s quite inconvenient unless you’re a photographer.
Well the camera on this thing works fine for anything you would post and or view on social media resolutions, as well as basically any computer monitor under 4k.
If I was really interested in taking high resolution photos at 4k or higher, I actually just would get a proper camera with better ergonomics, ability to use a tripod, etc.
Cant really see why the vast majority of people would need that kind of resolution anyway unless theyre doing professional work.
I have a $200 crap phone with a headphone jack.
Does everything I need a phone to do.
