I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

They say it's supported until 2031.

What will a 5G phone with at most 8GB RAM have to offer in 2031?

In what kind of bizarro world do we live that 8GB of RAM in a phone is not enough? Also 6G is currently expected to be available around 2030, so 5G will most likely still work in 2031.

You're familiar with bloat?

assuming it supports 5g calling and 5g lasts as long as 3g did it will still function for calls, MMS, SMS, and email at a minimum (assuming encryption doesn't change too much)
