1/2 #TBT This is taken at #KaiOS's first #MWC in 2018 to showcase how a light OS can pack powerful functionality into affordable #smartfeaturephones. A few models were launched in several countries. Today, 160 million devices are shipped globally, with 1200 apps available.
Feature Phones accounted for 19% of the total number of mobile phones shipped in the first nine months of 2021. The five most popular models represented over 20% of total feature phone shipments @NokiaMobile @HMDGlobal @itel_india@tecnomobile@reliancejio@KaiOStech
