Jitterbug Flip 3 - Another 5G Flip Phone

Another new 5G flip phone just came out, its based on the TCL Flip 4 5G and made by TCL, but this one runs Android 16 Go instead of Kaios. However, the OS looks flat out ugly and colorless, and there seems to be some other problematic stuff with this phone. Its made for old people, so I don’t expect this phone to be good…

Here’s some more info on the phone:
Networks: 4G, 5G
Carrier: Lively - A Verizon mvno
Battery​:battery:: 3000mAH non removable battery
Operating System: Android 16 Go
Camera​:camera:: 5MP[1]

SIM Type: Nano SIM
3.5mm Headphone Jack: :white_check_mark:
Fast Charging​:high_voltage:: :white_check_mark:

Sounds like something that will be a lot of fun to play with! I Wish I had unlimited money to buy 1.

You don’t need to buy a plan

But it probably comes locked.

Question is if it works with MTK Client, and if yeah, if we can bypass carrier locks.

This phone doesn’t seem to have a audio player, file manager, hotspot, browser, and no mention of a SD card slot, I could be wrong though

Can’t really complain, it’s really only designed and made for old people…

I failed on the iris…

Would be great to know specs, that could determine feasibility.

Edit: here’s the specs

You might get OEM unlock ui on this one

14

Ah that’s true

I guess someone will let us know

To be clear I am able to toggle OEM unlock on the iris. It’s the neutered lk that stops me, they made a condition that can never be fulfilled.

I am also getting this one. But this device is essentially the same as the Consumer Cellular one. Pretty similar.
