      “so it’s like TV, but on a much smaller screen, low resolution, with crappy speakers, a short battery life, all the advertisements of TV…”

      “I know, it’s so revolutionary!”

        They didn’t reinvent it, they just took a tv box chip and shoved it into a phone.

        Edit: the soc that they are using is worse than the feature phone soc in my old Nokia from 2008. What the actual fuck.

      So they.just reinvented the DVB-T tuner.

      Edit: I looked it up and it’s literally just that. The fact they’re shoving it into feature phones is interesting.
