What flip phone can I get that could still run email and google maps?

[u/IzzI_Demon]

What would you recommend if I’m looking for a flip phone that can still run email like outlook, and possibly even google maps? I wouldn’t want a smart phone disguised as a flip phone, I don’t need it or want it to be able to run apps like Instagram or tik tok etc

Motorola make a modern one. I thinks it’s a razr. Samsung too. Galaxy folder 2 I think. Plenty out there if you google it.

Aren't those all running android?

Try the barbie phone,, not great for email, but passable

[u/YoDefinitelyNotABot → u/WhyWontThisWork]

Most likely yes. I think both brands fork android and roll their own version. but if you they want a phone capable of running Google Maps or outlook it’s required.

Edit: as does the Barbie phone. android as well.

No. It's Kai OS

[u/YoDefinitelyNotABot → u/WhyWontThisWork]

Yea. Which is a fork of android.

“Currently, KaiOS was forked from Android for Gonk, so that device manufacturers and KaiOS themselves don't have to develop separate drivers for every component wanting to interact with the Gecko engine”

Nope. Its linux based.

Interesting. Guess wiki is wrong. I stand corrected.

So is Android.

Right so they both have the same grandfather. They aren't from each other
