HMD feature phones are such a let down.
The Polish language translation within the system is clearly automated translation - the words used sometimes don't make sense. CloudFone apps are also not available in Europe.
The HMD 110 4G (2024, not 2023) has the Unisoc T127 chipset which supports hotspot, but HMD deliberately chose not to include it. I know because the Itel Neo R60+ has hotspot with the same chipset.
At least they made Nokia XR21 in Europe for a while.
I wanted something that's more difficult to consume media on. Something that is less conductive to feeding some guy's advertising empire. The cloud apps are interesting to me not because of YouTube, but because of maps and public transport schedules. That way, it'd be closer to my main-main phone, rather than falling back to the smartphone for some apps.
E-ink smartphones like Mudita Kompakt seem pretty interesting, as the e-ink probably makes certain media unusable.
Whatsapp is somewhat optional for me as my friends don't use it, but I know it's important to other people. It would be important to me if I went outside the EU, though.
There's also something about escaping Android.
Unfortunately there's this post too: https://blog.bananahackers.net/farooqkz/on-the-state-of-kaios-and-bananahackers-community-as-of-summer-of-2023
Many “council” members have lost interest in developing for KaiOS. Many have not and believe this OS will live on and cover a minority of the market
But now, in 2023, this mobile Operating System seems to be on the verge of death. Not only KaiOS 3.0 is out but also KaiOS 3.1 is also out. But there is no device which is available worldwide. Only few carrier-locked devices for North America.
Here's a demo of the cloud youtube playing https://youtu.be/2VPQ_3SAKi0?t=85 It looks tolerably legible to me. Definitely OK for playing music or dunno, watching soccer recaps or tech videos

These feature phones are aimed at people living in countries who don't have this privilege. If all I could afford is a 20 EUR phone I'd be pretty happy with having the cloud apps that I normally couldn't be able to use. I'm sure that the executives at HMD don't ask themselves "are we not violating the definition of the dumbphone?", they're trying to make their product attractive to sell the most units. And apparently the ability to watch YT or check cricket scores (the cloud apps), and in the future maybe WhatsApp, are just that.
Though yeah, my post is more about feature phones, not real dumbphones as I originally wrote in the title.
also, how does it even run a web browser when the whole device has just 128 MB RAM. will the device crash if I load up facebook. com?
The heavy lifting is offloaded to the servers ("cloud"), I think. The data you receive is how to draw the elements in the remote browser.
I wrote this by hand. It's a fact list because I don't want the research I've done to be lost. Does Deepseek find videos with links to a timestamp?
Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi
If you just want the tunnel encryption you can try hosting a VPN on your own home network. It's what I do since I don't need to spoof my location.
You are asking in the piracy community so I'm assuming you're also using it to torrent (which a home VPN won't help with) but you didn't specifiy so I'm not sure
Closest I've seen was rooting a printer via a security exploit
I enjoy this headline writing style. Imagine if we turned "try these 7 tricks" headlines into "Dionysius I of Syracuse would like you to try these"
