For those that want a more basic experience, or concerned about Google having so much access to your Android phone, there will be a KaiOS phone made available. Unlike the Android phones, there is no touchscreen. Instead, there will be smaller LCD display, and a QWERTY keyboard. The design of the phone will be similar to the Blackberry Curve ©. Also, this phone is designed to be as low cost as possible – hopefully below the $150 mark. Therefore, only the important features that would extend the longevity of the phone. The phone will have the following:
- Low End CPU, 8GB of memory, 128GB of storage
- 4.5″ 4:3 aspect ratio screen, 8MP front camera, and 8MP rear camera
- removable 5000mAh battery, 2 nano-SIM slot, micro-SD slot with up to 1TB support
- 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth 5 support, Wifi?-6, LTE cellular
- USB-C charging and data
- QWERTY keyboard, SMS support, no RCS support
- Power, volume keys
With KaiOS, there will be support for SMS? and MMS. There will also be email? support. With 5G support, it is sufficient enough for this lower end phone – giving a means of communication. With 2 nano-SIM slots, one line can be personal, and one line business. This phone in the end is designed for someone that wants something very affordable, quality, and functional.
