So I Bought A Japanese Flip Phone | Euodias 

The only reason I want flip phones coming back is, because I can dramatically hang up a call.

the fake call thing could be SUCH A LIFESAVER

The thing I love about 'old' 90's/2000's tech like this is that so much of it has focus on the simple joys/quality of life improvements that are solely *fun* rather than in pursuit of further profit after the product has been purchased. Modern smartphones are engineered to addict you, and that isn't the case with these. Also, holy shit! TAIKO?!

THE RINGTONES SOUND LIKE THEY CAME OUT STRAIGHT FROM A OLD MAGICAL GIRL ANIME I'M BUYING THIS

They have a whole discord emoji list, you don't even have to buy nitro

Japanese flip phone alarm sounds like you're going to transform into a magical girl

I thought in anime the artists were just being extra but omg this is actually how they look??!

immediately bought after watching

I never knew how much I needed a Japanese flip phone until now🤭

why does Japan just make cuter technology

Honestly sometimes, I feel like I wouldn't complain if we had been stuck in the y2k era because I literally MISS those days 😭 they were just so memorable and wholesome overall, I have so many photos in a little plastic folder from 2009 of me and my friends as well as family just living in the moment

I actually own one of these. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do with it if you live outside of Japan. Most countries don’t use the same GSM bands which makes it really difficult to get any plan for this phone. It might be possible if you live close to Japan, maybe in Russia or China. Also, it’s rather old, so it can’t connect to wifi. It’s really only good for the purikura app, unless you live in Japan or somehow managed to get a plan for this phone outside of it.

Honestly I kinda miss the sass that came with a flip phone they were a mood Also way harder to crack your screen

That alarm wouldn't wake me up, instead it would be background music for my dreams where I'll be catching pokemon.

I was and still am a lover of flip phones. My first and second were flip phones in one of my fave colors - CANARY GREEN! - and I loved it. The second one even functioned as a tv so it was my fave. Seriously, one of the few things I envy Japan is their flip phone culture. It has practically died out in most part of the world cuz it's considered outdated but for someone who has small hands and likes the aesthetic of flip phones I WANT FLIP PHONES TO COME BACK SO BAD

when yagami asked misa to buy two phone just in case, misa bought these

Japanese flip phones were honestly ahead of nearly all phones in the west during it's peak. Really unfortunate that the technology wasn't made available to the west at the time.

Smartphones just look so plain after this video, anyway the dramatic alarm makes me think about ace attorney lmao

I want a Japanese flip phone so bad. It would even help me with learning Japanese

"(携帯) Keitai" literally means "hand-portable", but it's usually short for "携帯電話 Keitai denwa" (mobile telephone). So actually, both of those phones are "keitai". "ガラケー Garakei" is short for "ガラパゴス携帯電話 Galapagos keitai denwa", which is only what they're called nowadays (not back when they were popular), and it's kind of a disparaging term. The Galapagos islands are home to many unusual and defenseless animals, because they evolved there in isolation, cut off from the rest of the world with no natural predators. Calling these old phones "garakei" (not all garakei are flip-phones, BTW) is basically saying that they developed in isolation in Japan and kind of stagnated. They were really advanced compared to what was available overseas in the 90s, but lack of competition meant that very little about them changed between then and when 3G smartphones quickly pushed them out of the market in the late 2000s.

the fake call feature can actually be helpful in dangerous situations owo

THERE'S TAIKO ON THIS? I'M SOLD

thank you for making this video ive been researching about japanese flip phones for years and ive been wanting to own one for a while now >< this is one of those rare videos that actually go in depth

Every death metal guy should have one of these

"I want a flip phone" "Oh so you're old schooled" "It's Japanese"

You don't understand how much I want to hang up on someone by smacking the phone closed. The POWER

So this is the reason why students in Japanese usually use flip phone

im definitely buying this for the nostalgia and the little inconveniences are so cute and fun!!!

I used to wonder why some japanese people still use flip phones even though the rest of the world are uing smartphones, now I know why. They basically made android flip phones. Love how they didn't let go of this phone model.

Euo is the only person who can make me watch a whole 10 minute flip phone review

OMG the alarm sounds are everythingggg

Watching a Final fantasy gameplay made me want to have a cool flip phone just so I can look cool flipping it out to answer a call. Now seeing this, I specifically want this

My mom: "Why would you buy a flip phone? You literally have a smart phone with you. " Me: *"It's important to my life-"*

the way im gonna buy it so i can feel like a shoujo manga protagonist 😃

I never wanted a flip phone more in my life 😭 I can imagine back then my high school self texting my crush with those cute emojis 😆

Bringing back the polyphonic ringtones. I never thought I'd see the day. I actually love those ringtones. 😍😁

Once I get that flip phone, I better lead that anime life with my harem

"sorry i took too long to reply, im choosing the cutest emojis to reply"

I'm usually well composed about things like this- but the plethora of personal touches in messaging to the practical and needed 'fake call' security measure- I am genuinely impressed

IT LOOKS SO CUTE?? AAAWAWAWWA

Waking up with iPhone alarms: *waking up in a abandoned hospital room with Barney and Elmo* Waking up with this Japanese flip phone: *Waking up in Sailor Moon's room*

WHAT?? Fake call?? That is a brilliant idea! Obviously, Japan is on another level. They keep the authentic aspect but also add some new things which are INTENSE.

That looks so nice, especially the colour.

This is litterally the phone I wanted desperately back in 2016

you don't understand I'M OBSESSED

Suddenly people bring back the old flip phone because it's aesthetic

you are the cutest!!! idk anymoreeeee

I went from hating flip phones a few years ago to really wishing they'd make a comeback. iPhone, make it happen.

I dont know why RU-vid recommended this clip to me, an asian man BUT I watched the whole thing and you are just so happy with that little flip phone that I'm glad I found this video. Thank you RU-vid.

This is literally every anime phone ever . . . I always wondered how they "e-mailed"

Omg i was searching some flip phones and found the cutest channel 🙉💒

OMG THAT'S ADORABLE ❤️

That alarm makes me feel like i’m doing magical girl transformation. I woke up and chose to be magical ✨

AND IT’S PINK!?! What a mood, 10/10 would purchase too 💖☺️

I wish these phones would make a major comeback around the world, hanging up on someone by aggressively clicking the “end” button just isn’t as satisfying as slamming a clamshell phone closed

you're making me wanting a flip phone more than ever

I need this. So when my school need to confiscate the students' phones mine would only look like a toy

Japan is just really good at making stuff appeal to your senses, and their flip phone is proof of it, from all the sounds when you open/use the phone, the buttons, and aesthetics of course.

I NEED THAT "FAKE CALL" FEATURE FOR MY WHOLE BEING. GIVE ME THAT!

Oh my gawd Becky, a flip phone with a touch screen. I need 12.

that fake call feature is actually so tight. I NEED IT

At a marketing standpoint, flip phones can make a comeback if the demand is there. They're slept on just because it doesn't boast the latest tech, but that can be remedied given how thin and compact a lot of components are getting. I was hyped for the RAZR 2020, but folding screens aren't fully developed and it lost appeal when you see that crease in the middle. That's why the classic keypad format with physical buttons should make a comeback in a major way. One-handed speed texting used to be a thing and I'd love for that to make a comeback. tl;dr Japanese flip phones are classy af and need to make a comeback.

Still in my bucket list. *DRAMATICALLY, INTENSELY CUT A PHONE CALL WITH MY FLIP PHONE* 💅 Plus the cutie designs ✨

Omggggg that phone is so adorable! I need on 😭💕

i miss putting cute keychains on phones dang it, i might get one just for the latter

i grew up watching anime during the 2000s-2010s, and i remember every anime character has a flip phone. I always wanted to have one ever since :))

ITS SO CUTE THOUGH??

saw this vid in my recommended and I don't regret watching it especially cause now I want one of those

japanese flip phones literally have a whole set of animated discord emojis in them

This makes me want a flip phone for the aesthetic

The fake call is so brilliant 🤣

This explains a lot on why Tokyo Drift takes place in the future, everyone get back to flip phones.

And that’s why im so obsessed with Japanese flips phone. Seriously, it would be amazing if they produce it in my language or English.

I remember in 2010 when I heard about Japanese flip phones having the ability to watch tv shows. I was so jealous I actually wanted one ever since

You are the best I love Japanese products !! Kawaii stationery!! So lovely cute and at the same time high quality!!! The icons superCUTE!!

I love how there's only TWO kinds of phones that are the most common in Japan. It's either an iPhone, or flip phone. Android users must feel lonely in Japan's tech ecosystem.

NOOOOO THE MOVING EMOJIS AND KAOMOJIS ARE SO ADORABLE

that’s it, dear japan drop the damn phone in english version 😭🙏 God i need this 😭

I have been so curious about the flip phones in japan for years. Although I never looked them up and just noticed this video in my recommend section. Also subbed to your channel.

THE FAKE CALL IS GENIUS OMG

I don’t know why but I feel like Japanese people probably had the best era with these phones. Like you know when you talk about nostalgic games and stuff you used to play in like 2010 ? Yeah I feel like Japanese people must have so much nostalgia associated to the era when everyone was using these phones🥰

That “fake call” can save someone’s life! Or, help it. I’ve been followed before, and I have been in dangerous situations where I had to fake a call to get out!

I love this so so much!

gurl i love ur accent soo much

On a darker note, I would hate to have that chime when u need to open the phone if you need to get a hold of the police in a horror movie situation. I don’t know why my mind went here, I watch too many movies LOL

She: *flip opens her phone with a push of a button* Me: damn sis, that flex

OMGGGG I LOVE THE ALARMMM

I can't handle so much cuteness

that reminds me I've been wanting to get a Japanese white flip phone all this time

the fact that most people are getting flip phones for the aesthetic while I’m stuck with one cause of me not wanting my parents to spend too much on me 😭 like sheesh kids looked at me weird for having a flip phone in 2015 and now it’s a trend,,,,

when i was a kid, japan's flip phone is one of my wishlist 😍

Idk why but the Japanese ringtones kinda remind me of Oran high school host club

damn them apple emojis just dont be hitting the same

why is it that even the classic ringtone on the flip phone sounds better than the default iPhone one :/

Those Alarms are cute till they wake you up too many times.😅 Also that's not just Xmas Morning it's also all the days in December before that too 🤣

the design is very simple yet cool

I wouldn't be surprised if more countries came full circle back to flip phones, tbh I feel like I'd rather this more than a smartphone especially in certain situations

I went to Japan back in 2018. I was so surprised when I saw a group of teenage girls were using flip phones. I was never expected to see flip phones again 😂.

The alarm is actually the intro for your anime day

OMG that's the exact japanese phone I've planned to buy for years and years now 😭😭💕💕
