Nice keitai, wish SD card support was better

Keep in mind that you only have 4GB to work with for storing ALL your apps (android 10 uses 4GB of the internal storage by default).

Trying to format an SD card as internal storage to install apps will invariably cause the phone to get stuck in a bootloop (btw, shoutout to Garaho Wiki for helping me unbrick it).

A handful of other keitais seem to not have this issue.
(also, check ebay first because the markups on this site are CRAZY)

It's a good phone

It doesn't have google services and discord kept crashing when I tried to open it but whatsapp is usable. I tried firefox browser and it was slow but the default browser is okay. I recommend using aurora store instead of apkpure.
It comes preinstalled with some apps in japanese even if you change the language but I think you can't use them unless you have a specific sim card.
Another problem for me is the ringtone volume. I couldn't hear my calls on the sidewalk over the cars and I had it on max volume. You also can't change the opening and closing sound effect of the phone; you can only turn them off.
It is a fun phone and also comes with a sort of voice mail feature and also a fake call feature built in

thank you

My first keitai review (-;-)

Okay so… I got the KyF42 and I’m actually kinda obsessed?? 💗 It’s small, super cute and flipping it open feels like I’m in a 2000s rom-com 🎀✨ The buttons click so nicely and texting on it feels weirdly fun lol.

I only use it for calls, music and texting and it does all that perfectly 💌🎧 Battery lasts like 3+ days which is sooo nice. I tried putting some apps on (WhatsApp works!!), but a few didn’t open so like… don’t expect Instagram-level stuff haha 😅

Happy with it!

If you want a simple phone that still feels a bit modern, the KYF42 is pretty good. The screen is small but clear, buttons feel nice to press. I love the retro vibe.
