Kyocera A202KC Digno Keitai 4 - Unlocked - Android 10 Keitai Flip Phone

I LOVE my new phone! I ordered to the US, and it took about 2 1/2 weeks to arrive (which was pretty shockingly fast imo). I emailed asking about customs/extra charges, and the team got back to me quickly. They were very kind in explaining how it all works, as it was my first time ordering something like this. The phone itself is beautiful. I got the refurbished version, but i would barely guess that it was ever used. It took a while to get it set up, but it works perfectly. Definitely buy from Y2K!!! Checkout is easy and trustworthy, customer service is quick and kind, and the phones are in great condition :) (They say this all over the website, but make sure to check if you can get service if you’re in the US!! Some of these phones aren’t supported. This one can be covered by Mint Mobile)

I’m so happy with the A20KC. It came within the stated delivery time (14 days). It was easy to switch to English and start using. I got a cheap Mint Mobile plan and it seems to work fine. Make sure you do the APN settings. There are some good YouTube videos for setting up the phone. Order went very smoothly and I would definitely order from Y2K Phones again!

Works great for my purposes. Since the phone is Japanese, some of the regionlocked functions do not work (eg. weather). Custom apps have to be sideloaded on - Y2Kphones already sideloads an app store onto the phone, but I mostly sideloaded the apps I want as separate APKs from my computer.
Using custom apps built for more powerful phones drains the battery quicker than it would otherwise last - it can still go a couple days without charging. The apps I use that work fine are:
- Discord
- Whatsapp
- QUIK SMS (normal SMS does not chain messages)
- Fennec (Firefox - pretty slow and prone to crashing)
- TT9 (phone's default keyboard does not support traditional T9 typing, which is much quicker than the alternative)
- NewPipe (youtube client)
Camera is better than my old phone, which isn't saying much. SD card is not recognised by the phone despite being reformatted multiple times. Maybe it's the size or brand of the SD card, but it doesn't matter enough to me to fix it right now - it works fine without. It's great to use and makes people laugh. Would recommend!
I was worried at first because the shipping tracker did not update for 2 weeks. After that time, the phone was delivered, so I was happy.
If you want to run heavy apps like Instagram, Maps (google suite does not work on the phone allegedly) or TikTok you might have problems. But for staying in contact with people, I love it.

When I first saw Y2KPhones back in 2023/2024, I was very skeptical at first. I really wanted to get a flip phone though, especially one that had Android. The aesthetic fits me perfectly.

When the phone finally arrived, I was surprised to see that it was already debugged and in English -- I appreciate the seller for doing that!! The phone works perfectly! It even works on my carrier (T-Mobile in a big city on the East Coast of the US), so I'm excited to start using it more once I finish tweaking it.

I can't wait to see if Japan makes more phones like these, or we'll see more of a resurgence regarding these phones!
