I really wanted to like this phone.Kaios is the name of the operating system, it should be spelt Chaos. I wanted a simple strong phone that can Tether but still run Google maps and Whatsapp. This seemed to fit the bill but it is a bad buy.To toggle the tethering it takes 15 button presses through the setting menus with no way to hotkey it and the menu's are awful and slow.To view a photo it takes 10 minutes of thinking to try to show you a thumb nail of every photo on your SD card with no folders, just sorts all of them by name or date???The google maps does not navigate! it will show you text like 'Turn Right on to the M1' but no voice and when you make the turn you have to press the Next button to get the next junction command up on the poor quality screen, why bother if it can not be use when driving.Photos or videos do not work in the Whatsapp only text Not even smiley's :'(I did not want to use it for Browsing the net but I should say it is impossible to use, it lags so badly it does not function.The hard ware looks and feels good but Nokia you would have done better with this if you'd kept your green screen Series 20 OSIf you only what to make phone calls and maybe text occasionally this is the phone for you. But are you ready to give up the smart in your smartphone?As of Feb 2021 the phone has now died 1 year after purchase. Not a mark on it never been dropped or wet. It just died overnight and now will not turn on.

Great concept of a phone, it is durable, it is small enough, but the software is lacking. It crashes every now and then but does restart. The battery lasts a long time. The only downside is that now the Nokia 3210 has been re-released, it seems that WhatsApp will soon no longer support this device's operating system. It also has issues sending and receiving WhatsApp messages, sometimes requiring the app to remain open/re-open chats for messages to come and go.And just a warning - it's not the Snake game you all remember, it's a slightly modernised version!Sadly, I don't think this phone will last more than a year due to the poor operating system. We had purchased this phone due to my partner working on building sites, and frequently damaging and breaking smart phones within a year of purchase.If the operating system improves then we would certainly consider another of these phones in future when this one is no longer serving its purpose, however, will very likely look at other alternatives.A handy thing is that you can buy screen protectors for this phone's screen to make it last even longer. As the screen is much smaller than smartphones, this was a concern at first, but have had no issues purchasing screen protectors for this device on amazon.I certainly recommend doing your research before buying. If you have the patience for a phone that randomly switches off/freezes and doesn't always get messages come through/send but need something durable and hard-wearing, then this is a phone for you.

After a few days of use my impressions are : It's bigger than I expected, the screen is much better than I expected and in general use it should last a week between charges (which is impressive). Apps such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are obviously web based and a bit slow, but they do function. Scrolling is a bit painful, but works.It's not the small pocket-able phone I was expecting, but there is a lot of rugged casing there so I can forgive that. KaiOS is still very much under development and the store is limited but growing. If you thought that this system would free you from Google I'm afraid that it's pretty well embedded (they are investors in KaiOS), but that does provide some useful functionality. Google Maps are handy but there's no voice guidance so not much use when driving. I will update in a couple of weeks to let you know how it's going. UPDATE : After a few charge cycles, the phone is still performing well, and in terms of standby time with Bluetooth and WiFi turned off and with very little use, but the occasional session as a WiFi hotspot it will hold it's charge for around ten days which is still pretty epic. Not sure where their claims of a month come from, but still very happy.

A great mobile phone. Strong. Water resistant. Easy to use. Every thing is good. A grea mp3 player. Battery life I charg every 4days. Sound is great on full. One bad mark is the WhatsApp will not work at my location. Above all a boss phone if like me you are fed up with a smartphone.
