From PC Mag: Commodore’s next big release is a flip phone that offers essential internet services while removing social media apps and web browsers. Called the Callback 8020, the phone is an ode to the early age of smartphones, and its purpose is to put a deliberate end to mindless scrolling.
The Callback 8020 comes with a 3.25-inch internal display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a MediaTek Helio G81 processor, a 48MP Sony rear camera for photos and QR codes, a T9 keyboard, a removable battery, and a front-facing camera for video calls.
The main internal display is a touch screen, but it will be disabled by default “for a more mindful, nostalgic, keypad-first experience,” Commodore says.
When it comes to software, the Callback 8020 runs the Linux-based Sailfish OS and allows you to download apps from the Commostore. Once you receive your phone, you can request that the manufacturer add the apps you want to the Commostore. Your request will be approved within 24 hours, and you can also use APK packages to sideload apps on the handset.
