Only good for calls and texts pretty much, and that's no mistake
Those who find modern smartphones too distracting from real life might be interested in the Boring Phone , a novelty flip phone based on HMD's Nokia 2660 Flip.was born out of a collaboration between Bodega and Heineken and aims to provide a feature-light phone experience. It bills itself as"without almost any feature," such as Wi-Fi, a selfie camera, push notifications, and especially social media.
The phone's official page does a great job of outlining what it can't do, but not so much what it can. However, it appears that the Boring Phone is a reskin of the, which helpfully does have a spec sheet. The phone's core hardware components are its ripping fast single-core T107 from Unisoc, a whopping 48 MB of LPDDR2 RAM, and a hefty 128 MB for internal storage. A microSD card slot enables an extra 32 GB of storage to be added.
Other highlights includes the inner and outer displays, each with a 320 by 240 pixel resolution, the 0.3 megapixel outer camera, a 1,450 mAh battery that allows for up to six hours of talk time on 4G networks , Bluetooth 4.2, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, something that even the latest smartphones don't always have.Apple to allow some iPhones to be repaired with used parts
Of course, Bodega and Heineken changed some things around. The UI has a custom, GameBoy-esque green and black color palette, and the chassis is now made of clear plastic that exposes the internal hardware. It is of course branded with the Heineken and Bodega logos too, and comes with stickers with even more logos., as this is just a marketing stunt in the end. The UK will be the first to get in on the giveaways, with other regions joining later.
Plus, Heineken also plans to launch an app that imitates the UI of the Boring Phone in case non-winners want to experience it. ®Exposed: Chinese smartphone farms that run thousands of barebones mobes to do crimeLinux for older phones postmarketOS changes its init systemEuro shoppers popping more and more premium phones in the basket
