  • What Can You Do On a North Korean Smartphone?
    So at first you might think that only the elite have smartphones in North Korea. But regular citizens are now allowed to own smartphones too. Just not kind we're used to. Here's the 3 craziest differences I've learned about.
    And last one is actually not that scary, if you remember Western governments have done.
    3. The Physical App Store. There they'll have a catalogue of approved apps that you can buy and transfer to your phone.
    2. Coverage. There is a 3G network in North Korea, but you are only allowed to call other North Korean phones. And instead of internet, you access the intranet of 5000 state approved sites.
    1. The Spyware. Every time an app is opened, a screenshot gets added to a folder only the government can access. That's...

      North Korea is a dictator regime, with communist ideology 😂 not capitalist. So, i don't think they will charge every month for an app. Also, even if they charge, they will not afford it. They barely afford to eat food.
