Around the time, just before the COVID Pandemic in India, I was reaching home (Feb 26) in Bangalore and the founder of Sunblaze[1] was flying out. We were able to have an hour of dinner-meeting before he leave for Japan. We were to discuss the opportunity of partnering and helping Indians farmers with a phone that can be sold at the cost price of ₹2,500 (roughly $33 at today's conversion). It runs a modified variant of a prior version of Android.<p>This phone can be a really cheap minimal phone with some "Smartphone" features.

It’s my “phone break” phone as it’s small enough that you don’t want to use it a lot but you can use it if you need to for Spotify, maps or whatever.
Yup, I dig this and I hope we see more of this as we enter another phase of mobile devices.<p>My iPhone 11, although a great phone, is unnecessary for me. I love its camera (for photos/FaceTime), everything else is superfluous. I am also terrified with dropping it.
