You know why you're buying this
The reason you're buying this is most likely because it's a tiny gimmick of a phone. Of course. I dare say, it's better than the "haha" I had hoped it would give me, and gave me the "please be more than useable" I really wanted. The TL;DR is IT WORKS. ITS FUN. ITS TINY. ITS AMAZING. BUY THIS PHONE, THE PRICE IS WORTH IT. Seriously. I'm so extremely elated to own a tiny phone like this that can do most everything I expected from it. To start, the screen. It's tiny, yes, but it's also looks pretty good. Peel off the manufacturer's fuzzy screen protector, and you have a serviceable screen. At that size, you need a high enough resolution that gives you clarity, and this phone delivers. Also, the text all seem to be manipulated by a custom android OS made to give legibility and formatting to work on the small screen. Chrome and other apps were all sized and formatted in a way that everything was easy to read, no need to zoom. You might think typing is difficult on the screen, but my secret weapon for you is Gboard. Download the keyboard from the Play store, and turn on Glide. Boom, you can now swipe/Swype/glide with ease. I typed my typical book-long messages to my viewers in Discord with ease. Hangouts? No issues. Side note: there is a custom keyboard in it, it might have glide/Swype, but I didn't use it. Gboard is my jam, so I went with that. I downloaded quite a few apps for this phone, and some intensive games. They all ran acceptably, but a few stuttered. Honestly, if you want to game hardcore, you're looking at the wrong phone. Emulating with a Bluetooth controller, though? Chefs kiss, babay, it handles the classics of the 16 bit era quite well. Definitely a nice teeny pocket handheld. And, hey, Alto's Adventure ran beautifully. Quick tip: use Nova Launcher and give it a more traditional Android look, it'll make the phone feel more complete. It runs perfectly with a custom launcher. The typical features of a phone were all FINE on this. Great volume, strong vibrate, the Bluetooth worked wonderfully to make this an MP3 player, and so on. The cameras on the front and back are pretty low quality in low light, but they snapped acceptable pics. You'll be wanting a different device for higher quality photos, come on. Battery life is great. Full charge in an hour, idled on for three days without dying. I left it sitting at 75 percent, from me playing on it for about 45 minutes. It might not be an all day phone using it nonstop, but the faster charge is nice. Phone calls were great. If you don't want to hold a tiny phone, use Bluetooth. I used it, with zero issue, perfect call quality. Any bad areas in town were still bad areas with this phone, but that's to be expected. Oh, also, it came with all the goodies. A screen protector. Charging cable. Sim card slot puller. AND A CUTE LITTLE CASE. I use a Note 20 Ultra as my daily phone. I used this for 5 days straight, and will keep carrying it around, along with that behemoth. I'm in love with it. It's ridiculous, you know this. But, it's actually serviceable, if you need a small alternative. Will it fit every situation? Maybe not. But it'll most likely fill yours, if you're here. The price is about right, in my humble opinion. I will be posting a video of my time with it elsewhere, keep an eye out for Havok Versus Everything, or find me just to chat. I will yell about how much I love this thing. If you have any more questions, ask in the question section and I will answer the best I can. There's too much to say, and a lot of intricacies to owning a phone I might not have thought of off the top of my head. I got ya, just ask.
