I love this phone. It will help a lot of people. Big brand should step forward and make this type of phone.

The Helio G99 and 8 256 configuration is overkill at best, and plain stupid at worst. If you remove games from a phone, then what on earth is the point of having a solid midranger SoC and flagship level RAM? This device would be much better priced at under 150 USD with a Helio G35 and 4 GB RAM. Adding an AMOLED display would be a good feature to have too.

My 3GB ram phone have run smoothly for 5 years if it is to browns internet and so on.
Opening games are slow and they lag but it was slow even on release as it is low end middle class with sd636. And i am talking about as smoothly as it was when it was new as it was never that smoothly running.

Ik, 14 Mar 2023My old Xiaomi Redmi 3 had the same 5 inch screen, but 4000 ... moreHow big was that Redmi 3's bezels, please? This phone MIGHT have space for battery bigger than it has, but using Redmi 3 as comparison just because they share screen size is laughable. Compare the overall footprint.

Phone designed to avoid distractions but has 8gb of RAM, yeah right, what's the point to put ,8gb of RAM in phone designed to basically be used just as phone? :) I can see how students quickly would jailbrake this crap and make it to proper gaming phone for students 🤣

so basically few years old phone with bumped storage and RAM, which are both useless since apps are severly limited if used as intended, why not just take any 4,7-5" phone from drawer and replace battery?

Also for elderly it's better to have larger battery cause they forget to charge it daily as this phone needs it with it's little battery.

if they can put at least ufs 2.1 storage and up the battery to 3000mah with a 50mpx main cam, it'd be amazing tbh.

arka, 15 Mar 2023I would surely buy it if it lauches in India...even if..
... moreAlthough its a chinese brand, if they manufacture it in their Hyderabad plant, a small portion will go towards Indian employees.
Yes, data they will share, but honestly every Google phone does.
Ads can be switched off, but with a phone aiming on zero distractions they might not have ads I think.
Battery life, only time will tell properly how good it will be. Maybe they tuned something? And G99 is efficient too.
Overall, its not the best the industry can do, but we don't have lot of choices in small phones... so, we might need to adjust.

Just 118 grams on a 5 inch screen? That with G99, seems like too good to be true.
This is actually good even for elderly, not just students. And believe it or not, rather get something like this for myself too than some heavyweight phone they sell nowadays.
2500 mah is good enough if they tuned the OS in such a way that actually apps don't run too much in BG. Remember Nokia 808 giving 2 days backup in 1400mah?

1. It's a chinese brand
2. It may share personal info
3. It will show ads
4. it has less than average battery
5. mediatek processor
since there's no other small android phone in the market !

This phone is an oddity and it reminds me when Microsoft started selling that Surface Go with Windows 10 S + 128GB of storage, a paltry 4gb of ram & some Pentium processor for 500$ 🤣.
I get it's supposed to be some "educational phone", but the specs make no sense. Unless they are repurposing some left over motherboards from some other Xiaomi device, then idk why they put 256gb & 8gb of ram on that thing. Does it even features some kind of Dex mode or something?
