Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The 5 Dollar Phone Is REAL”.
So you guys might remember a while back. I did a video about a five dollar smartphone, a four dollars, a four dollar smartphone. This really bizarre situation where and we’re about to find out what the hell is. Four dollar phone does people were pre-ordering, this eventual smartphone that would be sold for four dollars.
It was like everyone thought it sounded too good to be true and it turned out that it was, and then those phones never ended up shipping and it was a huge fiasco. How are you this afternoon? Alrighty then? Well, maybe a $ 4 or $ 5 smartphone is not a reality right now for various reason, but I have what is the cheapest phone period that I’ve ever looked at by far by a longshot? No, it’s not a smartphone, as you can tell looking at the picture here. If vive v1 made in India a monochrome display a SIM card slot is kind of important on a phone torchlight phonebook, FM radio, SMS and 650 million power batteries. How much would you pay for something like that? This is five dollars. It’S a real thing. You can go out and buy this right now. Why is it interesting? Well, you kind of have to adjust your mindset a global perspective on this. It’S made in India. First of all, so it’s made in the domestic market and sold to domestic customers. This may be their very first point of connectivity. We all know where that goes from there, so this is gon na put a phone in the hands of a lot of individuals who maybe never had a phone before. So the question is: what were they able to pack in here for five bucks? Okay, cool unboxing experience is fairly bare-bones.
That’S about it. Let’S see the cheapest phone made in India. Thank you. There’S a power brick to charge it up removable battery and there is the device. What a throwback that is kind of reminds me of my first Nokia or something like that: a number pad, as well as the old-school t9 style texting navigation, happens here to call and hang up earpiece up top monochrome display on the top there’s a flashlight.
I wouldn’t expect to see that in a $ 5 phone – a headphone jack – oh my goodness, even a $ 5 phone – has a headphone jack. So no microUSB, it’s got a tube style connector and it looks like the speaker is on the back over here here. We have our SIM card tray. First of all, it looks like there’s a sim already in there. Maybe they give you a simmer, maybe they gave me a sim.
I don’t know, let’s see what happens, let’s see if this has juice there. It is monochrome, but a little bit of contrast. There no big deal ambulance, police, here’s, the flashlight there you go possibly an emergency phone that somebody could keep in the glove box of their car or something all of a sudden. You start to understand why you would want to have a flashlight there. Oh, you need to have headphones plugged in for the radio, because the headphones are gon na act as the antenna.
There’S a calculator built-in six plus six equals well. There you go games is actually oh, it has snake and only snake. Okay, I’m having some nostalgic feelings right here.
We have messages, there’s a phone book: let’s try the different ringtones. What was he doing? I’M asking you, I didn’t need vitamin. Yet I find that a little difficult to believe that piercing, my favorite is number whew a lot of drama.
There has a surprisingly strong vibration motor. So if you can’t hear it, you can feel it. I don’t think I’m gon na be able to put my sim card in here to make a phone cause the problem. I think it’s a micro, these ear pods. What are these cost? Will us price? 35. Bucks. 35. 5. Let’S see if we get this FM radio to work on here, oh so this is action.
This is acting as the antenna right now. That’S a pretty loud speaker, a little FM radio might cost you five bucks. I don’t know pixel to XL Viva, be one eight hundred and fifty dollars five dollars.
How many of these could you get for one of those? A hundred and seventy with the quick mats who’s that guys, quick maths? He goes two plus two is four: what not freaked out now. Obviously I’m not comparing the two that wouldn’t be fair. That’S not fair at all, but 170 people with the connection with some form of connection to the rest of the planet or just one fancy boy like will do with this fancy. Smart phone you want to browse.
I want to be on social media. We’Re gon na be on my Twitter tweeting, smart phone people, unbelievable. It’S such an unusual thing to feature I went on the Amazon page. Some people are upset they’re like call quality, not that grey. The thing I like about dumb phones in general, their functionality, is basic.
So, generally, what you end up with something that can turn into a good emergency phone? Is it this thing is five bucks and what does that mean for smart phones and connectivity on that front? That price keeps coming down as well, and so accessibility goes up. The more we can create and distribute ideas $ 5 phone. It’S not something.
I thought I would see technology it keeps pushing, and I like that – and I think you should too vive v1. It’S a thing. It’S real! You can buy this .
