A detailed review on my Japanese flip phone Sharp Aquos 601sh | What can it do? 

PLEASE READ ❗ I get a lot of questions if the phone will work in their country. Please do your own research on this, I don't know anything about other countries networks and bandwidth. I live in Asia and most old phones still work here since we still have 2g and 3g towers. I mainly use this phone for listening to music, calls, and texts. I rarely check my social media here since it's not convenient. It's very helpful if you want to take a break, avoid doomscrolling, and reduce your screentime. I did not include a tutorial on how to install apps since I already made one on my previous video but you can refer here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KY7n99Q_GUE.html and this article since it's more detailed: yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzpc3hsaaw8dfq7kwv32387hfm7056m0kszznwa0j08ld8rrwk5gxzqqsxg6t8d96xzmpdd45ku6tdv9kxjumd944hjmmrv4exztfexqexkcc687y8e Setting up micro-g github.com/theNizo/installMicroG Apps in my phone Aurora Store (app store) Apptoide BlackPlayer (music app) ClickClick (remapping keys) F-droid File Manager + Gacha Life Google Maps Google Messages Instagram Lite J2ME Loader (Java emulator) Kate Mobile (VK alternative) Messenger Lite microG Services Core NewPipe (RU-vid alternative) Omnichan Pinterest Telegram X Twitter UC Browser Vysor Customizations Microsoft Launcher Whicons (icon pack) Widgets Digital Clock Widget Weawow (weather app) BlackPlayer (widget) Accessories Screen Protector www.amazon.com/dp/B0D32SRTRQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Phone Charm ph.shp.ee/q1NQURN I mostly download apps on apkpure, apkmirror, and Aurora store. Make sure to check if the apks are compatible with Android 5. If some apps won't work you should find another file or version of it otherwise, it's not compatible. Notes - The phone has no Google Play services, install microG app to bypass some requirements that need Google account or services but not all apps will work on it like Google Mail, RU-vid and others. - Battery last for 2-3 days in normal use and will last even longer in standby mode but if you use it all day with third party apps, it will only last a day. - Charging only takes 30 mins or half an hour to fully charge based on my observation but it will still depend on the type of cable and adapter. - The phone have only 1gb of ram so it's not fast compared to the latest smartphones, expect some delays when opening third party apps. Even though this phone runs Android, it is not addicting like a smartphone, so it can be use as a semi-dumbphone or full dumbphone if you omit installing social media apps.

I wanted flip phone since forever but couldn’t find because they couldn’t be used for my lifestyle. After watching your video I understood I NEED JAPANESE FLIP PHONE. Your review was atmospheric and good. Thank you for the video🤩🤩

I'm impressed that you really tested the waterproof by putting phone under the water 😂

I think this is the first and only high-quality and detailed review on the japanese flip phone ❤

Japanese flip phones are like an entirely different breed. Far ahead than the rest of the world. They are like the iPhones of the pre-2007 era before th actual iPhone came out.

we’re going to wait impatiently for part 2!! keep up with the good work

This video is made and edited so well, was nice to watch. It had a very warm and nostalgic feel

The camera quality was so surprisingly good 💕

like you ive always wanted a flip phone ever since i was a kid but i wasnt sure where i could buy one and if itll even work. when this particular model became viral i wanted it so bad but there are barely if none reviews on this and usually it's super short so thank you so so much for this detailed review! looking forward to part 2 if there is one 😊

Finally someone like me on the internet! The mp3s, the laptop, even the Web browser! Love type sensibility. ❤

this is so cute and the features are superb for an old flip phone

the algorithm has blessed this channel

Watching your video instantly hit me with a wave of nostalgia. It's been ages since I was so obsessed with Japanese flip phones. When I was younger, my dad used to travel to Japan for work and would come back with one of these beauties. I always told myself that I'd get one once I had my own job and could afford it. Unfortunately, with the rise of modern smartphones, that goal got pushed aside. But after seeing your video, my interest has skyrocketed again, and I'm finally going to get one in the next few days. Thank you for reminding me of simpler times. ❤

I love how helpful you were in the video and in the pinned comments, I also loved how you mentioned even the phone case, thank you so much youre so nice ^^ im a new subscriber btww :))

love to saya no uta bgm 💕 great review too, i think i'll get this phone now!

wow finally some detailed view on keitai

I was checking out the same keitai for some time now. I've had a Panasonic p01e during my exchange year in Japan back in 2013/14. That one sadly doesn't work in my country but the Aquos you have is compatible. I'm really nostalgic of that yeat ngl, I miss the times before Smartphones took over. Edit: you know what, I'm a big girl, I don't care if the p01e doesn't work I might buy it anyway for sentimental reasons. It made me so happy 🥹

omg you inspired me to make a video about my flip too ^^ AAAAA IM SO EXCITED TO FILM WHEN IT COMES ^^

This is my first time coming across your content and channel and so far I very much like it! Your editing reminds me of a sort of slow pacing comic??? I don't have anything to compare it with but it's really unique. I'm not sure if that's just me liking your aesthetic or anything but yeah (Also maybe like obscure old video games like yume nikki , mermaid swamp , and another game where the mc gets chased by a monster at night also in rpk maker !)

Can’t wait for part 2

Nice showcase, very chill vibe

this video is what convinced me to get a flip; thank you sm for such a detailed review (｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ looking forward to pt2!

Thank you so much for this!!

Nice review! I've always liked flip phones like these and want one. Too bad they don't produce them anymore. The waterproof functionality reminded me of that one Japanese actress that showered her iPhone lmao I guess that's why she thought waterproof meant actually able to submerge/shower with it.

i wish the waterproof design is this universal... but ... i guess it's also good that it isn't coz i wouldn't be letting my phone go. and my attachment is already bad enough. it's cool that the display is so crisp that it wouldn't be much of a bother that the screen is small

seriously the best English review so far for these Japanese flip phones! thanks so much for making this! My main concern when it comes to dumb phones is that I really need to use my phone for banking, Google Maps, and QR code scan. Can you do these things with this phone and are they easy to install without Google services? Will be great if you can include in the next video how you use Micro-G as well. Thanks so much!

I had a flip phone as a kid, it's the coolest.

i use the same phone but in green, its really great. i also dont have any social media on it, just an app for texting and i download my mp3 songs. if u reject convinience everything else is kinda more exciting. Like just having a song in your head, and being hyped to go home and download it

Thank you ☺️ wery useful👍

clicked for ic3peak, stayed for the great content ❤

as soon as I saw Luma3DS on the tab bar i subscribed

i'd buy this just for the kaomojis, gosh that's so cute

Ngl it actually looks cool compared to the flip phones we have here in the states lol and the camera quality is very good for a flip phone

this is beautiful... you did an amazing job!!!! i just got a kyocera 501kc, and i managed to do a lot with it thanks to your tutorial

Thats it im buying it, the water proof but really convinced me haha

Amazing video 🤍 might consider this phone as i have been looking for a flip phone

I have a Kyocera Gratina 4G. If they released one with mid ranged specs and camera I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Nice video I love it!

Youre video is so detailed. Thank you! Im trying to find a flipphone where I can read manhwas, listen to music, and have messenger. I only need 3 apps 😅

How many years of android update And how many years can we use maximum Is battery backup good

I ..... I .... WANTED IT AAAAH I HOPE IT'S AVAILABLE IN THE IDN

Im in love with this phone. Sadly mine is locked and the seller gives me no unlock pin. I hope i can find someone that unlocks mine haha. Great video! Japanese phones are really cool!

I want a flip phone now...

Hello and thx for the review, I want to know if this phone is 2g, 3g or 4g, can you help me?

The music on this video is nice

Hey!! This is super super cool, could you please tell me how you got the ‘My Emoji’ selection for messaging, I would love to use them on my keitai 💕

can WhatsApp be installed to the phone? and what kind of simcard is supposed to be there?

how did you remap the volume keys? I can't seem to find this in the settings...

Okay gonna buy flip phone

watching because i keep telling my sister, when flip phones have the camera quality of iphones, i will fully convert. i don’t care for social platforms; i just like taking quality pictures & don’t want to haul around a camera.

I also have poco x3 nfc as main device ! Did you film those all videos with poco x3 ?

great for detoxicing i might daily it

good work ....................................................wish you goooooooooooooooooooooooooddddddddddddddd luck

So, is it waterproof?

Um getting this phone and this video is the only one on yt ab this phone 💀. It's really helpful. Also can u give us some tips on how to decorate this phone??? TYY

Omg I need this😭

such a cool vlog

Is there additional payment ?

Thank you so much for this long-awaited video! You've done a great job. Please tell me how you managed to install F-droid on your phone, does it work for you? For me, it seems that it only shows an error (probably due to an old version of the application, but this is not accurate).

How did you order this phone?

Maybe dumb question but can you use headphones with it? Either bluetooth or wired?

so can we connect our airpods with the flip phone??? mine is not apple airpod but is similar like yours

😮omg Its so new vlog im from Pakistan you are kakakoi your vlog relaxed me❤❤❤

how did you download the play store on it? any sources i could read?

does mobile data work on this phone? i had a similar a long time ago but sadly couldn't turn 3g on - sim was reading and this phone could make calls, yet not browse without wifi..

what's that BG music

The camera is quite nice

whats your laptop specs and regular main phone model?

i forgot to ask but where did you get that charm from

What other phones did you consider buying before you landed on this one? Would love to hear your thoughts and decisions behind it

Hi! Can you make a tutorial video how to install google messages and how to sign in with micro-g? Thank you!!

i bought this phone but in black a while ago..and im so confused on how to download apps through apks into my flip phone??

Can you use wired earphones for this? If yes, what adapter should I buy?

May I know where can I order that ?

15:25 this feature nees to be back on modern phones ....using phone case to add this lost feature is sacrilegious !

Im having trouble using the launcher, Im not sure how to navigate on the flip phone, how to rearrange the apps

hi may I know why you chose this phone instead of the samsung galaxy folder 2? I don't know if its different for The Philippines but in Malaysia we could get them cheaper with higher specs than the Sharp Aquos on shopee...

i wish japanese company build more phone like this

THANKS

Can this phone run the WhatsApp application?

Cool

What app did you use to remap the keys (volume) ? And how to get these animated emojis (did not find that in my keyboard/emoji tab)

Overall how much did you spend shipping from japan to Philippine's

Bucktick, nice.

Hi there! I have one of these phones as well - with an unlocked sim. There are two messaging SMS and the S!Mail feature - how were you able to message through S!Mail, I can't figure out how I can, thank you :)

hi did you transfer all the messages and contacts of your previous phone to this phone? if so, how did you do it?

Where did you got the screen protector??

А NFC есть? Можно ли настроить mir pay?

is this phone actually usable in a daily drive? can it completely replace the smartphones?

WhatsApp, telegram, VK работают ли на таких телефонах?

cool video! may i know the song you used on 1:08?

what year did the phone released? and also, it has no touchscreen ability?

Спасибо за обзор :) Было интересно и легко смотреть)

Ngl didn't expect to see Russian songs on your phone hahaha

Atsushi 😍

Can i use sim card here?

why the letters are jumbled???

Hello I’m from India where can I get this phone?

Seeing this phone, now im wondering, "should I move to Japan?"

Выглядит интересно чем уйма одинаковых плиток телефонов
