Since my grandfather lost his cellphone, I became interested in learning digital minimalism, dumb phone, smart feature phone, etc. and that brought me to your channel which was very informative and unique. It was very interesting because I thought one day I would be able to find the right cellphone for him, unfortunately now he has gone. But all the things that happened, still made me like your vids. So keep up the good work mate, really appreciate it! 🙌 *Sorry for messy tenses tho🤣

Received my Qin F21 Pro 4/64 GB in Black today. Order date was 5/18, received in USA 6/9/22. Came charged 44%. Instruction sheet was in Chinese, so I had to play around before I found out how to turn it on. Language now set to English. Came with clear rear case and to be installed screen protector--I had ordered a separate black case and 2 screen protectors from another place. Have not put a SIM card in it yet. Came with Google pre-installed (cracked), Connected to my home WiFi and will connect to my car with Bluetooth later. Wish it had an English or even Chinglish instruction manual. I really like it so far, form factor is great. If I have anymore to share, I will post again. Thanks to Jose for introducing the phone--I wouldn't have known about it. Now it is in hand. :-)

Hola Jose, just wondering, if you still have the device, what is the latest security patch from the stock software? I'm sooo close to buying this device to be my primary phone but I'm afraid my banking apps wouldn't be secure if the security patch is too old and/or this device wouldn't be receiving anymore future security updates... I would be looking at the F21 Pro with Google Play Store though.. not sure again if the software update/security patch is the same with this Chinese version. Thank you in advance!

@@Londoneryid press and hold the onscreen space bar and change to the 12 key input. Onscreen disappears and the keyboard takes over. Predictive works better than the Punkt, but has some words missing and no way AFAIK to add words to the library. Punctuation is also a bit of a mess. I get way less key errors than on the Punkt though.

Wow thanks for the fantastic review, been following your channel for a while and this seems like finally the product I need. How realistic is it that they will somehow ban the current method for installing android apps through renaming APKs on this phone? (because its intended to keep students away from distracting apps right)? I need this right now, can't wait until the end of the year, but I'm afraid of such a downgrade future update. Or do you think the international version is just going to be a software mod that I might also be able on the current studentphone version? :)

Hi, as of yet, is this phone able to download android-apps being based in Western Europe? I'm really drawn to this device, more so then the f22 due to it's flattened buttons, size, and ugly front-camera. Or would you recommend the new f22 pro to anyone regardless due to being better overall? I don't know anything about remapping cellphones but I guess i can follow a guide to this. I'm asking this since you said in this video: wait untill the end of this year to see if it can still download android-apps. Still a good idea to buy this device at this moment? Thanks in advance, gz.

The F21 is still an excellent device. I recommend it more than the F22 actually because of its size. Same compatibility :)

Hi, I bought this phone because of this wonderful review. But until now I cant seem to figure out how to use the keypad for text input instead of the onscreen keyboard. I saw someone mention in the comments holding the onscreen spacebar to change the keyboard input but it didn't work. Can you help me?
@JoseBriones
@JoseBriones 2 года назад
You can swipe down when typing something and it will allow you to get to the keyboard options. Alternatively, you can go to settings and adjust the keyboards there.

I have been using this phone for over a year now. it's been working great. nothing to complain. it has everything I need, except the camera. I hope they'll release the new version in F22 form ( the small one not the pro ) with better camera, and button, better processor and bigger battery. But this one is already the king of nowadays dumb phone right now. F22 pro even though it's better in speed, camera and battery consumption, the size of the phoen is way too big to be considered as a pepper dumb phone. I end up watching lots of videos on F22 pro while I mostly text and make call on my F21 pro. To minimize the usage of the phone, size matters.
