      I have the Alcatel GO FLIP phone which uses KaiOS. Will the KaiOS apps be available to download on this phone? There is no KaiOS store APP and the installed apps are limited. Thanks in advance.

                      Google finds another opportunity for collecting information and profiling people.

                        BrokenLawShaw, 29 Jun 2018This phone OS just got better to be used as a backup OS for... moreIt is not a google effort. In last 1 or 2 years jio phone has became top selling feature phone in India and sold many mullions. The people who uses it knows nothing about google, but still use LTE for calks, watching movies and shows, video calls etc Even an jio Assistant was available, and browser supported YouTube also. So google just want to reach this people or their children who are potentially future buyers of android phones

                          sadh, 29 Jun 2018Making the 8110 even a better buyI wouldn't expect existing phones to get this new functionality.

                            Nice. Those apps is a gread add on. Waiting for Whatsapp and I'll definitely buy this phone for my mom. She refuse to use smartphone. So, a feature phone with WhatsApp should be nice for her.

                              SVK, 29 Jun 2018But Google never supported Windows Phone!Well... This is not Windows. So it's OK for Google to support it... I guess... :D :D

                                  There were more windows phones than this Kaios feature phones. Google purposely didn't provide any services to the OS. But good thing about this is anyone can now build apps to any platform.

                                    i thought Firefox OS was already defunct, so it rebirth?

                                      Finally, a really usable featurephone that have all the Google apps. If the phone is cheaper people might buy it as a second phone.
