Smart Vision 3 (Android)

And the physical buttons are appealing. Not my carrier, and it's not 5G. Price sounds good, but nothing on the processor speeds etc. Bricking the accessibility just by trying an app is a loser. I don't know anything about Talkback or its issues, and it would have been nice for a few examples to have been described.

Just with a little Googling, that processor didn't sound too bad. Although, I might not know what I'm reading.
I'll tuck this away in the back of my mind to consider in the future.

I would not want this particular device I don't think, but I have always thought it would be neat to have a flip phone that ran modern android, had modern specs, and had a physical keypad and D pad for navigation like the old school phones, if for nothing more than nostalgia.

It's probably an old-person's issue... I have an ancient, Franklin talking dictionary over there, about the size of a tablet-, with a small but usable keyboard-I don't think the screen works anymore. If they made an accessible portable computer/phone like that, even without a touch screen, I would love it.
I'm not bothered by a smaller touch screen. I am bothered by on-screen number keys for things like phone menu options and having to enter ID numbers on the phone. The voice systems of a lot of the phone systems don't work well all the time, if you're even given that option. You can use a bluetooth keyboard for entering numbers on the phone, though Apple sometimes breaks that in updates, and VO sometimes distracts you from listening to options by reading out all the numbers you've entered during the phone call. On the other hand, I think I'm still carrying old fears and grudges against Android from back when it was not fully accessible. That's scaring me away.

Do we know if the keypad is also letters? If you remember on old phones 1 for example was also a, b, c. If so then it would be really useful if you don't like touch screens. Not for me but I suspect some people would like this type of vintage tech.

Yeah, not for me, as I am very comfortable with a touch screen, but a flip version of this for nostalgia sake, something that looks and feels like an old school flip phone, but has all the features of a modern phone could be fun. As a serious daily driver, probably not, but interesting nonetheless. If I don't get a Pixel next, I could be seriously tempted by a Galaxy Flip, whichever model is out when it comes time to shop for a new device, which will be a while since I really really like my S22 Ultra. I know btw that the Galaxy flips don't have physical keyboards, but still, the design seems pretty cool.

I would totally freakin buy that thing.

Like I said, probably not what I would want as a daily driver, but maybe as a device to use if I were wanting to do a social network fast or something like that. I can never get fully away from socials because of the online radio station, but could always do that with the computer. I wouldn't want to remove them from my daily driver, but I can see how having a device like that would make it a lot less tempting to do the mindless scroll for hours on end.

Now that I've had time to cogitate, the right bluetooth keyboard with a standard smartphone would make this phone meaningless to me.
Ideally, I'd need the keyboard to be about the size of the phone, like a folio, so they could both fit in the same place. The keys need to not be mushy when pressed, and have all the keys I need to operate the phone. Small keys are all right to a point, but not so small that I can't fit my fingertips on them. I'd also need to figure out how to keep the phone from reading out every number I've pressed during a phone call with the menus--don't know if that's an issue with Android.

I remember a time when phones were attached to a wall with wires, and I'm not longing for that... yet.
However, one can always become mangled of the hands with little effort, and becoming old only requires waiting.

And it belonged to the phone company. They weren't liable for damages caused by the phone, though...
