How bad is a $42 smartphone? Here it is if you want to buy it for some odd reason: amzn.to/40tRKLi TikTok: / imparkerburton Community Discord: / discord
As a person who has used android KitKat over the years, I was almost instantly able to identify the phone as running android 5 also explains the lack of youtube on the Play Store.
Would you consider buying progressively more expensive phones to establish the minimum cost phone that is actually usable? Thank you. Loved the video. 😊
Fun fact: I bought a brand new Samsung galaxy m02 running real android 10 with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM for just 50$! And a huawei y6s running android 9 with 3GB RAM and 62GB tom for 100$ in my country.

They lied about it having a Mediatek MTK6889 because that's actually a decent processor. The MTK6889 is actually called the Dimensity 1000. There's no way a $42 smartphone is packing a Dimensity 1000 chip ! Whatever they have in there is probably some garbage like Rockchip or something like that !
When you had pulled down that notification tray. Right off the bat, it's some Android 4.X.X not 11 !!. They simply edited the version in the settings app. You should have tapped on the version multiple times to reveal the exact version it was running.
Your short led me here but i had to search out the video. You should really consider linking the longer video in the short. Probably a lot of people that would like to see it that nv will.
the phone's using what appears to be android jellybean or KitKat. Also the mt6889 isn't a bad soc, it's actually comparable to an sd778g, but clearly they're straight lying about the specs. I'm also doubtful as to if it has a 3000mah battery. I'm guessing it's at most 2000
The cheapest smartphone on Amazon for me is a used Nexus 5X for £40 which will blow anything else you can get brand new, for the same price, out of the water.
School computer be like: 2gb ram, 12gb storage, 480p screen, Mediatek 6889, (the one used in the phone in the video) Later that day… Teacher: Open CZcams in a new tab, watch this video, and play it in the background. Now open up Google and search up this. Student: uh ok… Computer: **visible pain** stop opening tabs!!! **student throws slow computer across room** Teacher: WHAT WAS THAT FOR?
@@yunglemonakis yeah that phone probably has a chip with a speed comparable to an intel i386 from '85 :) There are chromebooks that have mt8183 chips, which I believe is a tablet SOC...
I actually bought one of these (same phone, different back) as i needed a stand in replacement phone quick,cheap and fast. amazon ad lied about what version of android it was, i little dissapointed lol could of bought a flip phone for half the price and would of been better
The sad thing about this is that you can get an actual Licensed Android device from Dollar General that is 20-30 times better than this for the same price
Hey Parker! I'm a new subscriber and I think your videos are very interesting, but I have some recommendations: 1) Divide the whole video into different sections so if for example I wanna skip the first "part/point" I can just get right to the next part! 2) If you add more B-rolls and extra footage and also graphics while for example reviewing a phone the overall video will be more engaging 3) Delivering bullet points one after another will get the viewers hooked right from the start till the end of the video Anyways keep it up man and hope to see you in the big leagues one day!
OHHH NO IT'S a welcome so all SMOOREZ viewers say IT'S AN MT6580 also 1gb of ram and 8gb of storage i say it has 512 mb of ram and 4gb of storage and a 480p display tht's jellybean 4.1/4.2/4.3
Parker; Being frustrated after 5 minutes of use. Me: I had to painfully manage using the same smartphone for 6 years until 2021. Curious to know what brand my device was of, it's Micromax Q372.
Aaahh this must be the exact phone romance scammers I mean potential love interests own when they say they are unable to video call or even communicate 😅😅
This must be the phone everyone uses to record bigfoot sightings.
underrated

KitKat is 4.4
Android 5 is Lollipop
@@pvwin true
@@vicariouschism86 true! KitKat versions include 4.4 4.4.2 and 4.4.4
it's android kitkat or even wore it's jellybean they had similar UIs
Having lived in other countries. These low cost phones are a life saver . iPhones are too expensive for most of the world .
Would you consider buying progressively more expensive phones to establish the minimum cost phone that is actually usable? Thank you. Loved the video. 😊
Most of the dirt cheap prepaid phones you can get at Walmart are completely usable. They're slow, glitchy and have horrible cameras, but still usable.
My 20+ year old Nokia is still usable ? Probably worth less than £4. A phone is useable if I can make calls and text not that hard
@@Jakubb_04i think they meant smartphones.
The OS is looking like Android 4 or lower. You see it in the settings app, at the low battery warning and at other things.
Yeah that's definitely not iphone 11
@@dannyboydeluxfromthebigitybay yea 😆
I died when you used another finger and it still unlocked 😂😂
Well what did you expect?! a digitizer can’t read fingerprints 😂

If it's only 3G, then it isn't a phone anymore.
Yeah, I'd love to make a phone call on my iphone 3gs for old times sake, but I cant ;(
Bro I do almost everything with Galaxy E7 3G 2015 😅
$42 is the price of a feature phone.😂❤
Love the work parker
If it can successfully make calls and texts I would say it is worth the money

yeah those are good phones i heard
The version is 4.4, The control center/notification center looked like that on other smartphones I owned running the same version (Coolpad, etc.)
Really scummy to literally label a completely older Android version as a newer one
@@SparkzEntI mean you can still use it like install newpipe legacy
Better than iPhone

That Android looks super Jelly Bean (4.1/4.2)
Only 147 views in an hour tf??
424 views in 4hrs 😢
This is his first long video in 3 months so the algorithm is not recommending
Even at 42 dollars you can get way better phones
I remember buying those $20 phones in dollar general and it was a little better than this phone
This is the phone everyone uses to record Bigfoot.
Oh no, it's the WELCOME phone!
At least it had one major advancement.
You can easily change the battery.
It definitely does not have android 11 as android 11 requires 3 gigs of ram at least I think
That's definitely Android 4.4 Kitkat

When i saw the camera quality i laughed out loud
2010 phone feel the camera lol😂
$42, yet they gave you all the accessories… Apple would never.
Most underrated tech creator out there ❤
That's not android 11. That's most likely Jellybean...
That camera is even worse than my iPod sixth GEN😂
I mean, did you try to send and receive calls and texts? If it does that than $42 is a steal LOL.
4:15 💀
Pretty sure you'll come across aliens and ghosts with that phone.
OHHH NO IT'S a welcome so all SMOOREZ viewers say IT'S AN MT6580
also 1gb of ram and 8gb of storage i say it has 512 mb of ram and 4gb of storage and a 480p display tht's jellybean 4.1/4.2/4.3
Man those warnings, what a throwback.
Flip phones have CZcams in it, don't freez and run better. It costs half the prize.
For 42$ I guess you shouldn't be too surprised. How can you use anything but the cheapest components?
This phone screams 2009 - 2011.
The Camera is 8 million megapixels🤣🤣
Can you root/tweak these kinds of phones to somehow juice up its performace..
It looks like these reginal networks still support 3G.
1) Cellular One
2) Choice Wireless
3) Commnet Wireless
Bluetooth be like "de blewtutf devise has uh conected suxuxfuly
Endless loop sounds like my life
Buy jio phone next😮
Its just 55 dollars
Better Than My $75 android phone
Edit: Its An Android 4 Phone Not 11 Its Just A Skin

Parker; Being frustrated after 5 minutes of use.
Me: I had to painfully manage using the same smartphone for 6 years until 2021. Curious to know what brand my device was of, it's Micromax Q372.
my phone was 49$ works fine
like a fresh install of an OS you need to update the whole device and reboot.
Try flashing a custom ROM to it, see if it would make it any better 🤣
there is no root recovery or custom roms for this phone lol
Aaahh this must be the exact phone romance scammers
I mean potential love interests own when they say they are unable to video call or even communicate 😅😅
Test some emulation on it 😂
Best 42$ you could spend. Definitely...
The google logo when you first started the phone was from like 2014, definitely not android 11
Ok! This is my go-to channel now for tech videos! Clean, fun, precise, natural
Hi. Plz make a video on Samsung galaxy S7 edge.
Thanks Parker
Damn, this a mirror version of how my moto g stylus is currently working😅
I appreciate the review on the “smart” aspect of this phone, but (and I mean this sincerely) does it call/text dependably?
Camera design looks like the iPhone 13
Right below this video a guy is using 20 dollar smartphone and actually does manage to eventually open youtube
Amazing format of videos Parker! Very enjoyable to watch
Thank you!
It is not that the phone sucks, it is that google is stupid and won't let old phones work
That phone is just an imitation, then.
You didn’t even try to call another phone 📱. Thats the main reason to used a basic phone
That a local phone
When my child asks me for a phone:
Maybe you'd like to try the Oppo A83. It's not a weird android, though.
I’m so proud of how far you’ve came on CZcams because I’ve been watching your TikTok for probably like 1 or 2 years and have watched you grow
it's Android KitKat probably
Lmao, the advertisement said FHD but it is only a 720p screen XD
Specs are fake. It probably is a mediatek 6580, 512 mb RAM or less, 2 mp front and back camera, 480p display and 1500mah battery
You should try cpu-z and other similar apps on these crappy phones
So a smartphone with outdated software. Did I miss the phone call test?
I found a phone for $8 and $4😂
I was gonna say, it's great as a first phone but tbh, it's a waste of your hard earned cash.
Once I see that it's a 'Welcome' phone, I just lose my interest right away.
No it's not. For $32 you could have got the Fufafayo 5.2 Inch HD Screen Smart Phone 5G 4G Dual Sim
Its a $42 phone. If it can text and phone call. What do you expect for $42
Kitkat is the name of the Android version lol
Good phone for grandparents
This phone does not have dimensity 1000 (MT6889) i think it does have MT6572 Dual Core Processor
8 gb internal memory? Ouch
Do a video of you unboxing is 2 years older than iPhone XS it makes me happy
Should've tried sideloading or something
School fights are recorded with this phone and shaky hands.
This Phone Exactly Look Like A IPhone 13
When IPhone brings back Headphone Jack Samsung also brings back headphone jack after apple 😂
Bro discord link is not working
I mean, it works? As good as you'll get for $40.
