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’ve got an older iphone which ticks all the same boxes minus the stupid port it has. Only reason I would have to upgrade would be for a better camera. I’ve started painting 3D models recently and this thing takes shit ass pictures
