$10 Flip Phone?!? Alcatel MyFlip A405DL - Tracfone - Unboxing & Review!

Found this bad boy on sale at Target for $10 and decided why not?
This is not your flip phone from years back, this one runs a smartphone OS.. well one specifically tailored for devices like this called KaiOS.

The version of KaiOS running on this phone is 2.5. This phone includes a 2.8'' QVGA internal display, a Quad core Snapdragon 210 processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage, expandable to 32GB with MicroSD, Battery capacity of 1350mAh, 2MP camera with 720P video recording, WIFI and bluetooth 3.0.

So while this phone does run a smartphone OS, it still has all the basics you need: camera, texting, notepad, voice memos, FM radio, Unit conversion, calculator, alarm clock, etc. But it also has an app store for games and some other fun additions. You also have an internet browser and LTE so you can browse the web and even play Youtube videos (if you really want to watch on such a small screen)

I also compare this to an older flip phone from 2006-2007 era and what was interesting to me was because these are all apps on the phone, they don't open instantly like older flip phones, but the Alcatel is still more fully featured than the older flip phone.

This is a long video so here are some time codes if you want to skip around:
