you don't have a built in FM receiver to listen to local radio. I never use a google account on android and just use the apps it came with and the FM radio app is my favorite.

Browse the internet.

only way on android to get malware is to install apps from suspicious sources. if you never install anything, you have nothing to worry about.

I just want a smartphone that lasts longer than 24 hours without recharging.
For comparison, my dumb phone lasts 12 days on standby.

even the cheapest dumb phone made today has some internet capabilities. 4chan is a very simple website, any modern dumbphone should be able to at least post here.
>>51437183

>>51437183
Yeah fucking right. Just try using one of those shitty phones to browse the internet. Scrolling, zooming, typing, they're all a nightmare with that (lack of) interface.
Play 4k video
Stream videos in Full HD or higher quality
Use the terminal
Emulate old hardware

Shatter if you look at it funny. Like 75% of people I've seen with smart phone have a cracked screen. Meanwhile, I've dropped my dumb phone down stairwells and it's still in perfect condition.

>thinking there's such a thing as a hybrid
A smartphone is just a cellphone with a full-featured operating system. It has nothing to do with form factor. Also, flip phones are by far the worst cell phone form factor.

a fliphone will have all the apps you need preinstalled on it, you don't need an app store for your 5000 different variants of fart button apps. go away. *farts*

Have a battery life under 3 days long at the time of purchase.

They are good as backup phones but they don't make a good daily driver unless you never go outside.

Are you posting from a flip phone? No? Why not? Why do you own any computer except a flip phone, if it's really all you need for everything that you ever want to do with a computer?
Does the computer that you're posting from have any programs installed that weren't on it when you got it? Why?
>>51436256
it can be used as a GPS device
/thread
>>51437563
Yes they can
There are full ports of libre office and gcc for android
>>51436256
Taking non shit pictures
Browsing the web comfortably
Using instant messaging apps like Whatsapp
Watching videos at reasonable quality and with a decent sized screen
Listening to music with good quality
Using tethering to gain internet access on a computer
Is this enough OP?
>>51437796
But I am posting from a flip phone you faggot. I haven't even wasted my time with a regular computer in years. My flip phone serves every need I have, I can call, text, listen to music, browse the internet, and it even has simple games if I need to waste time. Anything else is for fucking autists, go outside and talk to people instead of staying inside all day fapping to waifu fart apps.
>>51437806
This. I need a smartphone for 2 things:
Googling things on the go that I actually need to know, and GPS for when your instructions are shit and you need to get somewhere fast.
Dumbphones do neither of these well, I know because I've had several of them like prepaid trackphones and such. Texting on those things is also nightmare mode.
If computational resources, and ease of use, and availability of software don't count, then exactly the same argument can be made for a fliphone vs literally any other computer system.
Apparently we could have been using flip phones for everything this whole time. OP, your genius is going to save our species trillions. Just think of all the money we've been wasting on data centers! You are a hero, truly.
>>51437879
>I haven't even wasted my time with a regular computer in years
Get off /g/ then, because there is no way a person can do this and be knowledgeable about technology.

Vertical slide phones have similar screen and keyboard sizes and similar closed dimensions to a flip phone with a sturdier and easier to use (if only slightly) mechanism. The only advantage of a flip phone in comparison is that it can offer some screen protection if it's well designed, but that's not really necessary for the screen size. Where durability is concerned, which is the main difference, sliders are better.
>muh 500 different fart button apps

-sent from my flipphone
>>51438665
Enjoy your phone dialing automatically while in your pocket.
>>51438697
Sliders hide the key pad when they're closed. That's their defining feature.
>>51438719
A lot of slidephones keep the arrows and confirm shit available even when unslid, making it possible to speeddial by movement.
Also, enjoy your screen smidges.
>>51438748
Some flip phones had exterior buttons, too. Not as many, granted, but that's not a flaw in the form factor, that's a flaw in some specific implementations. I'm pretty sure that mine always locked when they were closed. "screen smudges" were never a common problem for non-touchscreen phones.
>>51438006
the only available JAVA whatsapp its only for Symbian nokia dumb phones, wont work with anything else. The java client that existed stopped working like 3 years ago.
>>51436302
I thought the whole point of whatsapp was that it works through SMS.
>>51438787
>grab phone from pocket
SMUDGES!
Flipphone hides the screen so that's no problem. Same with scratches but you already mentioned that.
>>51439228
Isn't the whole point that it works on data instead of sms despite having the same functionality?
>>51436302
And if almost none of your friends has a smartphone?
>>51437669
>A smartphone is just a cellphone with a full-featured operating system
You're wrong on this. All modern cell phones have an operating system.
>Also, flip phones are by far the worst cell phone form factor.
Also wrong, you dumb fuck. You drop a flip phone on concrete and it gets a slight scratch, you drop a slate phone and it's ruined.
Go back to >>>/b/ and never come back, you chucklefuck.
Use a touch screen. I hate touch screens but there's your answer and the taking of your bait

If you can't fit the average smartphone in your pockets you are either a woman or a skinny jeans wearing faggot - in either case you need to GTFO.

heh, first time i remember seeing a 3D game on a cellphone was in 2004 iirc, now this was on a ~120x160 passive matrix lcd and it ran at like, 10fps, but hey, 3D on a phone
at least that phone had physical buttons, a requirement for any sensible gaming device
