I Bought the $75 TEMU Phone… 😳 

FYI, your SIM card doesn't work because the phone only supports GSM carriers like T-Mobile, and since Verizon is CDMA, there is a compatibility issue preventing the phone from working properly.

You should do a jerryrigeverything durability test with it

Takes a braver man than I to use a personal email on a Temu phone. Would have used one of my 32 burners, if that. Edit: Small gripe at the end. Definitely not a 400$ phone. The price tag of 75$ is pretty much on point for what you get, or even a little more than it should be.

you said that it would cost like 400 but its much lower cuz i got a 360 dollars phone and i got a 120hz display, a snapdragon 690 processor, 4gb ram 128 storage and performs really well in call of duty, much better then that phone

@@paranoideyt3315 Bro for 350 bucks there's phones out there with OLED, 12GB RAM, 512GB Storage and performance matching the S23 Ultra...

Android Go is a Lite Version of Android. It’s found on a lot of cheaper low end phones, it’s less resource intensive and uses the cloud to help it run. Also I didn’t get a good look at the sim tray however it looks like it was just a standard sim/sd card tray and not a dual sim tray as you stated. I do think the phone ever connected to any cellular network, I think the LTE status popped up at some point as the phone attempted to automatically search for some network, once you connected it to WiFi it stopped but I believe that was a false positive on the LTE. As for the extra RAM, that feature is something similar to what windows did back in Windows 7 with Ready Boost(win7 allowed Physical HDD storage partitions or more preferred High Speed SD Cards or USB Drives to act as volatile memory) So in this case for the phone I would imagine the feature dedicates a certain amount of ROM from the built in or SD card. Typically as I recall this technology would act as half the amount of RAM per Allocated Memory, so for every 2GB of volatile memory dedicated you get 1 GB of “RAM”

@@ArthurLiberty It's similar to what Samsung does with their phones and RAM. My phone has 4 GB, but with the feature turned on I can get 6 GB but it's taking 2 GB away from internal storage and calling that RAM. It's obviously slower memory, but I'll use it anyway. Not like I'm going to let it go to waste when I have 128 GB of storage. Some do not like it because it's not the same performance. But it's better than dealing with 4 GB of RAM. But yes Android Go is good for Google apps that are optimized for the phone and not so good with 3rd party apps you install. I wouldn't install any apps on that phone except for something like Text Now or Google Voice and make calls that way. If you're not committed to staying in Google's ecosystem I wouldn't waste my time with an Android Go phone.

Putting your info into TEMU is just as risky .

put a custom rom and custom kernel. no more worries.

But trusting to put your credentials on google and apple is not risky?

@@ahmadahmal2942 it is google

​@@omagalifty Good luck finding custom rom for that thing

Same in the US, actually. I bought 2 Moto 5G phones, they were $100 ea.

Its just paging.

@@orangeyellow-me1pz No, it's not

it is, storage is nowhere near as fast as ram so it can't be used in real time, so yeah it's just paging​@@xXVibrantSnowXx

Yeah I'm honestly not sure if it supports volte or not - I searched around later and figured out this phone is a GSM phone, so it doesn't support verizon. I would try a gsm carrier like att or tmo on it to see if it supports volte, but I don't have an active sim card with either of those. But you're probably right, I'd be surprised if a phone this cheap supports volte

@@SmokinSilicon T-Mobile is the only one that still operates a 2G network nationwide in the US afaik, they were supposed to shut it down in April but I think they delayed it. I have seen what looks to be 2G calls from T-Mobile still working fine though. Lucky enough to still have 2G and 3G running over here (for now) though.

@smokinsilicon neither at&t nor t-mo are officially gsm carriers anymore, at&t killed gsm in 22 (also a BYOP) whitelist, t-mo has 2g still but it can only be used thru mvno's

As I watch it on a $1700 iPhone but somehow can’t get over the fact that I’m still going to end up buying the iPhone 16 pro max this fall… smh at myself lol

Me watching this video on my $80 samsung I got 2 years ago 👀

Me watching this video on my Samsung fold 3 which cost me $2200 upon release

UK still has 3G and 2G which we call EDGE, we never even get 5G, only 4G

I get 5G UK​@@Cut3_Bunny

Vodafone has shut off 3g and 2g calling so you can only use 4g. Some parts of the country gets 5g though.

@@lizvickers7156 oh ok im on. Tesco mobile and i have 2G, 3G and 4G and 5G

Yeah I later looked it up and figured out this is indeed a gsm phone, so verizon doesn't work on it. I would try a tmo or att sim if I had an active one. But considering this is a cheap temu phone - you're right, I'd be kinda surprised if this does support volte

Yeah like a burner phone, or a spare to bring to school so if your teacher takes your phone give her this lol

Is that useful or?, like does it actually work as real ram?

@@fenneckilv8602 no it doesn't work like a real ram and it is useless and a marketing gimmick to fool people that they will get more ram as nowadays brands itself give 6gb ram in almost every phones and it is more than enough

On low end phones its good but the speed of your storage is much much slower than ram so things are gonna load slower.I used it on my 8gb ram phone and it slows games and apps down a lot so a no for powerful phones but for weak maybe a little bit better also my storage ufs 3.1 pretty fast storage like the iphone 13 I think

@@IoanMoldovan-lb6pi yaa it is only useful in 2gb ram mobiles that is sold in very low cost those mobiles cannot handle background task and always clear the ram so it will be helpful to those phones

​@fenneckilv8602 It probably keeps things from crashing all the time, but storage is REALLY SLOW for keeping data the CPU has to access. It's just going to be sluggish.

that's only metro & boost

He doesn't know that, he's an apple user 😂😂. He calls the stereo jack "auxiliary". they forgot what a stereo jack is 😂😂

No

They shouldn't have a phone

@@kissadev. In this day and age, kids that age (12-13) should have a phone, my mom said she felt much safer about me going out to hang out with friends or whatever when she got me a phone, so yeah.

I think it's trying to imitate the RAM Plus feature on Samsung phones

Yes

​@@DanielTheBigDits the same thing, even on samsung. genius

@pedr0_m198 my brain so smooth I don't even know if that's an insult

@@DanielTheBigD lol yeah, I apologize for being rude. But its basicallt the same feature. My comment was not nice, I apologize

Tons of great Motorola phones under $200USD also

For under $100 you can get an old Samsung flagship and get better experience

Whoops

that's his public ip that can be accessed by anyone, if he showed his ipv4 address then it would be a concern

Doesn't really matter it's public

Woopsie daisy 😊

id assume he knew that as they have dynamic router meaning their ip changes every 30 minutes or so

everything is chinese these days

It was other FBI vans up there too 😂

That's what lazy people with no imagination name their wifis 😂😂. Copy each other is always easy

Maybe china

​@@dopodhtcthe country "China" where most big smart phone companies like xiaomi,huawei,oppo ,vivooneplus come from... sure buddy..more like first phone for people in some third world countries in africa

Or probably some kids first phone, because many parents don't want to (or can't spend) a lot of money on a phone, or the kid has to buy it with his own money. I knew this kid who's first phone was one of those crappy government phones, because his parents didn't want to buy him a phone, so his dad got him a government phone. (He hated that POS, battery life was crap and it was slower than slow, got hot, like searing hot, and it was so poorly made it had a plastic screen, rather than glass) And after he actually convinced his parents to pay for a proper phone, we took apart his old one. My God have I never seen a more poorly constructed device, like I figured it wouldn't be good, but wow it was just sloppily put "together" and the cheap plastic screen was cracked (they didn't make phone cases or protectors for whatever that thing was) and every time his thumb touched it a piece of plastic cut his thumb. POS device for sure.

Jeez!! You Yanks are scared of your own shadows.😄🇬🇧
