Although the number of smartphone users keeps growing on a daily basis, there is still a significant population that uses phone for basic texting and calling. For those folks, Vodafone launched Emporia RL1, which looks like a regular cordless phone most of us still have in our homes. It doesn’t have a camera, mobile data and media player. Its 1.8-inch OLED screen can be used for texting, calling and to run few selected apps such as alarm clock, calculator and the birthday reminder app. You can store up to 100 entries in the phonebook and that’s about it.
This “anti-smartphone” is said to come with a battery that can provide up to 3 hours of talk and up to 8 days of standby time.
If this somehow excites you, hit this link to grab the Emporia RL1 for 60 GBP on Pay as you go. Alternatively, you can sign-up for a contract and get the phone for free.
