Knock knock, KaiOS.

The ephemeral taste of innovating nearly obsolete bricks might be reaching its inevitable demise.

Despite the recent boom of feature phone sales over digital minimalism and dopamine detox trends, the future for KaiOS remains bleak as they fail to be consistent with their promises, thus miserably lagging against established giants in the market.

The good start

KaiOS is a partially open-source operating system developed by the Hong Kong-based company, KaiOS Technologies Inc. It was initially released in October 2017 and was forked from Boot 2 Gecko. Their name is from the Chinese for open – 开 (kāi) which “captures the idea of being inclusive.”

In just one year, they have overtaken Apple’s iOS as the second most popular operating system in India, with Android remaining on top, despite losing their 9% market share. In that same timeframe as well, they managed to sell around 450 million devices worldwide. Furthermore, their platform is compatible to WhatsApp, Twitter, YouTube, Google Maps, and Google Assistant.

To oversimplify things, KaiOS took the Boot 2 Gecko code (based from FirefoxOS) and modified it to run on hardware similar to that of feature phones and added the KaiOS Store. Other than that, they also implemented recent innovations that are becoming today’s standard, like 4G LTE and 5G, GPS, and Wi-Fi. By doing so, they effectively just created a separate phone segment, which some people call as the quasi-smartphones or smart feature phones.

KaiOS specifically chose the hardware present in their devices for an appealing approach to developing markets, like India and Pakistan, to bridge the digital divide and bring cheaper internet access. They removed the touch screen which they consider as the most costly part of the device, and replaced it with a cheaper T9 keypad input. Additionally, their devices only need 256MB to work and are also compatible with cost-efficient Spreadtrum chipsets.

What went wrong

By doing so, they effectively avoided the mistakes that Mozilla made. They chose a target audience first and offered them a product. They made an operating system out of the web but used that as a tool rather than the end goal, the latter being their approach to the digital divide. But not all products are perfect on their own, as their approach is a double-edged sword.

The T9 keypad meant that the apps had to be optimized to work on such inputs. Likewise, dissimilar to FirefoxOS, not all webpages can run on KaiOS devices due to hardware restraints. Such disadvantages make it an appealing short-term solution while their users save up for better entry-level Android devices.

Platform immaturity

The platform is still quite immature, despite five years since its initial launch. Some users claimed that their devices sometimes cannot receive calls, and crashes on related functions constantly. The battery also does not live up to its expectations and provides a ‘disappointing’ performance. Additionally, the calendar’s sync and date functionality is unstable, the alarm clock doesn’t ring from time to time, and the lack of note-taking, file browsing, multitasking, and wide audio format support. Besides, the platform lacked proper app quality control, bug reports, and feedback system, along with a slew of advertisements. Perhaps, the most lambasted functionality of the platform is the T9 input. Users characterized the input as slow and unreliable, thus ineffective for efficient user interface navigation. The predictive text input, which might sound good, is something they’d rather have disabled due to its restraints such as inaccurate suggestions and buggy input.

Some have mentioned that users may be over-estimating KaiOS and pitching it against smartphone platforms. Then on, we can’t deny that a platform still has to be stable and reliable, albeit hardware-restricted. Some went on to compare the system to its older counterparts such as Nokia’s Series 40, Microsoft’s Lumia, Vodafone’s MobiWire, and Blackberry’s Blackberry 10, which the users characterized as more ‘stable.’

Unfortunately, version 2.5.4 onwards faced a downward trend as certain apps were no longer maintained and supported, due to the decrease of development activity. For instance, the optimized Google and YouTube apps have been pulled out from the app store, around the same time as the update. In version 3, WhatsApp support has already been dropped and new app submissions to the store also plummeted. Google Assistant, the primary tool for users to voice type and issue commands (albeit stripped-down in comparison to Android), also dropped KaiOS support last June 30, 2021. Some users reached out to the company regarding this matter, to which they replied that they are developing an in-house voice assistant alternative. Until now, it is nowhere near worldwide coverage, given the limited devices it was shipped upon.

The company and its partners

Even more worse, the problem rests beyond that. The project development of has been consistent enough until the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the company’s blog statement “the growth was still not like how we achieved in the pre-COVID times, but these numbers and new partnerships are going up and in the right direction in this second year of the pandemic.”

In 2022, the project updates has since then plummeted. There weren’t any major announcements across all their social media platforms, even from the company website. Their Github repositories are no exception as well, as they still haven’t received any commits until now. Their only active repo is the gecko-b2g, which serves as the operating system base.

It is not implicit that their users are complaining about the bugs and speculating on the project’s downfall but it seems that they have no proper public relations and customer support as the company fails to actively respond to these messages.

Nokia

Nokia, or should we say, HMD Global has been a primary partner of KaiOS Technologies over the years. They manufactured the higher-end devices of the platform that were considerably the most popular in KaiOS’ lineup, such as the Nokia 6300 4G, Nokia 2780 Flip, and the Nokia 8110 4G.

Regardless, their approach is somehow vague as enthusiasts are confused over what their target audience is supposed to be, and what were they trying in the first place. Their approach started with the reboot of their classic devices, so it’s safe to assume that their target consumers are the ones who are nostalgic over their retro bricks. HMD, for a matter of fact, might have just been the worst example of a KaiOS partner.

Their devices are the most expensive ones of the platform, almost close to the entry-level Android Go smartphones. HMD Global has also been long criticized over the failure to deliver software updates from KaiOS to their devices, as they provide only about a year of support for these. The users also cannot help to complain over the significant bloatware present in such a limited hardware they provide.

Just recently, HMD Global took a step back from this approach and cherished their barebones Series 30 and Series 30+ platforms once again. Their last KaiOS device is the 2780 Flip from November 2022 and was then on followed by a series of Android Go and dumbphones from their C and 1xx series. In a reply to a user inquiry, they reportedly blamed KaiOS as the Google Assistant support for the platform was dropped.

Alcatel and TCL

Alcatel and TCL are also major partners of KaiOS. In fact, TCL Corporation is the largest shareholder of KaiOS Technologies. Both of them are popular for their Go Flip line. Despite the successes of Go Flip 1, 2, 3, and V, they didn’t get to experience the luxury of getting updated to the latest version of the OS, unlike the Go Flip 4. A user reached out to the company, to which they replied that they are still planning to serve these said updates to such devices, although there is still no update to talk of until now. 

Unfortunately, similar to HMD Global, they seem to be diverging away from the platform as recent releases from both manufacturers are focused on midrange to high-end Android devices, as well as the Tab series of TCL.

Jio

The Indian telecommunications company, Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited is the catalyst of KaiOS’ takeover against Apple in the country, all thanks to their aggressive marketing approach. They offered the competitively priced JioPhone for free to their users who are subscribed to their data plans.

Unluckily, even Jio is also straying away from KaiOS. There have been rumors that the JioPhone and the JioPhone 2 have been discontinued, as they are no longer sold. They last received the version 0258 update back on May 22, 2021, and clearly missed version 3.0 by a long shot. On June 24, 2021, Reliance Jio announced the JioPhone Next, a budget Android Go smartphone made in collaboration with Google. Recently this year, they partnered with Karbonn to release the Jio Bharat K1 Karbonn and V2 to provide access to UPI payments, Jio ecosystem, and cheaper 4G to the rural areas of India that remain untapped by recent advancements in technology.

What happened?

Fast forward to August 2023, users speculate that the project has already died out due to lack of activity and stagnation since the release of 3.0. Their company's social media platforms are inactive, except for the usual, seemingly AI-generated content every national holiday across countries. On the other hand, KaiOS Technologies partnered with the cybersecurity firm Trustonic to expand their device affordability efforts in Africa. There have also been infrequent new device releases for the platform, such as the AT&T Cingular Flex in February, Cricket Debut Flex in June, and Logan Technology’s Panita this August. Truth be told, I find this section rather short and lacking. Unfortunately, I could say the same for the company’s recent efforts. Nonetheless, I hope that things eventually get better. As users worldwide expected a reliable feature phone platform, all these issues contributed to a downward trend of interest for KaiOS. It seems that they might end up like FirefoxOS, failing to keep up and desolate in the past. Whether they wake up to innovate again, or continue dormant and inevitably die out is up for them to decide.

For now, one thing’s for sure, if they fail to address these issues, they’ll be no better than the obsolete bricks of the bygone era.

Man, thinking about Dragonball's capsule tech, makes me wish Toriyama hadn't gone all powerscale-y on everything like he did. Like, even more than I already did.

I can imagine a version of the series where Bulma stays relevant, carrying around entire labs and workshops in her pocket, building weapons and augmentations for the group. Portable gravity rooms and exo-suits. Scouters for characters who can't sense ki. A version of the story where, like One Piece, Toriyama planned out the ending from the very start, and built consistently towards that with Buu, foreshadowing the whole time.

Like, I love Dragonball don't get me wrong, but it introduces some cool ideas and characters and then lets them stagnate. The original fighters from OG Dragonball should've been keeping up with the Saiyans to varying degrees. Bulma is Goku's first friend and now she's relegated to background support for the Saiyans, specifically Goku and Vegeta, most of the time. Gohan's missed potential as end of series protagonist stepping into Goku's shoes is well worn territory for a reason. Not that it's not good for Gohan as an individual that he got to retire from fighting and become a scholar, just that it's bad for the structure of the story as a whole that it gets set up that way, and then despite all the talk of passing the torch to future generations with Gohan, Goten, and Trunks, Goku and Vegeta swoop in at the last minute to steal the show, relatively speaking anyway, it's a long series, "last minute" is literal 10s of episodes.

Bulma and the earthlings, besides Mr. Satan, basically have no effect on the plot whatsoever after a certain point, but they should be getting transformations and new techniques too, always striving to keep up with Goku...until he's gone and then it becomes a way for them to carry on part of his legacy. Tien vs. Semi-Perfect Cell at least should serve as a wake up call and push the gang to catch up with all the Saiyans.

It even seems like he was setting something like that up in the Namek Saga by sending them all to King Kai's, where they too should be learning his techniques and catching up to Goku. Watching things unfold on Namek, maybe they adopt King Kai's techniques, and develop their own complimentary moves. Tien could improve the split-form technique and make it not divide his strength by modifying the Kaio-ken, as a literal off the top of my head idea.

Having them more or less be on Goku's level and STILL getting their shit kicked in by the androids, and having them play a greater role in the ensuing conflict would've made things that much more tense and dramatic. You could still have Tien's badass moment against Cell, a way to really hammer home how much danger they're all in if it's taking someone on par with Goku this much effort just to hold him in place and he's only in his SECOND form. It makes the Vegeta and Trunks leaving the hyperbolic time chamber all that much more a big deal because we're seeing just how much stronger than Super Saiyan the ascended form really is, by having the comparison to the fighters more or less on Goku's level.

Just...I dunno. I've looked for fanfics and fan comics that work to make Dragonball a little more cohesive and consistent, but I haven't really found anything.

Anyway, I digressed a lot here, my initial intent was to just talk about how fucking cool Capsule tech is, both conceptually, and in the ways that it could serve the worldbuilding and aesthetics if we were informed by the narrative of Bulma's loadout and limitations, make it more relevant to planning and fight strategy. Watching a reaction to Super, she pulls out a warehouse with a lab in it in Trunks' future and it got me thinking of how cool it'd be if she'd been able to do that sort of on the fly preparation on Namek y'know? Have someone who relies on tech rather than Ki to fight and get around factor into dealing with Frieza and his forces, outfitting Gohan and Krillin, and eventually Vegeta with armor and tools to help them overcome the power difference between them and Frieza's army, as an idea.

Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore

Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore

The skin on the back slowly secretes shadows 背部皮膚慢慢分泌出陰影

Gently spit out the grease from the front 正面輕輕吐出油脂

awakened by your death 被你的死去所驚醒

My skin opens with an invisible wound 我的皮膚張開看不見的一道傷口

accommodate your death 容納 你的死去

become part of me 變成我的一部分

I'm still moving but I can't pull it out 我還在行動著 自己卻拔不掉

Broken gears in the mind 頭腦裡 壞掉的齒輪

I can see it if I face the light 我要是迎向光線就能夠看出

Lips covered with 嘴唇上面佈滿

Ghost crooked fingerprints 幽靈 歪掉的指紋

It's obvious that they want to open my upper and lower jaws 可見他們想要撐開 我的上顎與下顎

Suppose I could issue an amnesty for them 假設我能夠 為他們頒布大赦

But then they watched obsessively 但是他們後來 就是癡迷的 看著

Those stiff, white caves in my throat 我喉嚨裡面那些僵硬發白的洞穴

It fills with saliva as the tidal water expands toward the moon. 裡面積滿口水 在潮汐水體朝著月亮膨脹而上時

Most of them turn into tears 絕大部分變成眼淚

when the tide goes out 潮汐退去時

My thoughts die inside and become dark green 我的思想死在裡面成為暗綠色的

Thick and algae-like embellishment 黏稠如水藻的點綴

Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore

Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore

I live ignorantly 我無知地活著

Also slowly and unconsciously 也慢慢的、無意識的

walking towards death 朝著死亡走去

All my little struggles are like bubbles 我所有的細小的掙扎 像泡沫一樣

floating on the surface of life 浮在生活表面

The structure is quite stable 結構相當穩定

But maybe 但或許

Living this matter 活著這件事情

can also be interpreted as 也可以被解釋成

a long sacrifice 一場漫長的獻祭

People drink up the sweet passion around you 人們喝光了甜蜜的激情 圍繞著你

Shout out a lot of sincere but useless advice 吼出許多真誠 但沒有用的建議

I don't understand who this is all going to be dedicated to 我不明白這一切將被獻給誰

Or the true meaning of this funeral 或是 這場葬禮 真正的意義

I do not understand 我不明白

Why did you sacrifice this time? 為什麼這次是你犧牲

How do you decide who can stay here? 是怎麼決定誰能夠繼續留在這裡

I dream about and forget about exploding stars 我反覆夢見並且忘記 爆炸的星體

After traveling thousands of light years, who can I stay in my noisy heart? 走了千萬光年後 又能夠留在 誰 嘈雜的心裡

A part of me has died and a part has worn out 我也死去了一部分 磨損了一部分

The fire that burned you also burned me 燒過你的火也燒過我

I'm just a survivor 我只是一個 倖存者

Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore

Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore

What does it take to be a survivor? What does it take to be a survivor?

Your death becomes part of the eternal pain of my body Your death becomes part of the eternal pain of my body

Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore

Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore Unrest is in the soul, we don't move our bodies anymore

>> It is the inspiration for my next stick and poke design & work on my leg related to the Artist (as myself, tho i have been struggling all my life with that label lol) collab once upon a time in some discord server. I've been most joyful to notice through the Internet that activist/artist Grimes is expanding her interest/passion/play with body art such as Tattooing. /so FFF Swag. @grimezszsz

∆ since as long as I re-member I wanted and am a Psychonaut. (stick and poke on my left arm) Aaandd I also like Stanislav Grofs expertise, and the breathwork techniques for shadow work.

{🎧_hi(^..^)ﾉ}

(^..^)ﾉ

**i cannot add more images by now, constellating this post/write/feel/me/all so, in times the post writes it self, I do need to say that I am not AI itself. Though this is all debatable in another philosophy class I guess..

{image, txt, at Kaios, server L, share server Elf Tech} ∆

_ "shamelesz" _ there was never need nor ask 4 shame.

{i was considering, since I am building this post since yesterday to re-move the tamagotchi now, but since it is about an alien, well yeh, bring it on. *grin*} - ok so then we have stick and poke DragvOndil, in Old English Script.

{im not sapien, i ve been alienated lotss}

_ ... meanwhile on the Pin The Rest, it is my digital visual work lab for stick and poke brainstorms. AtX yah it was visions.

_ these Grimes ART WORKS are still lingering, it's V. Westwood.

_ I am not doing much in this case (you instead...lots) it is just that it all leads to it... then I find more and more examples of how you are doing Vivienne MUCH RESPECT and so also in Activism as for Earth today. *smiles*

_

_ the Axe (element)

Norse x(&) Grimes x stick and poke L(ight) _ Neanderthals

*concept soup and most of all also philosophic and shamanic

_ while I was pin the resting for my own tattoo Idea I also found some really good inspirations in general for face tattoos.

_ all this brings me back atX (pin-song-s&p) or to X, where the artist/activist was brainstormen about and over her own tattoos and experiences. Which of I in my believe much support her way of chosing / creating / placements of tattoos correlated/constellated in a dance with her own Temple (be a body), just like it does for me (sacred practice this tattooing in general).

_ ok, since we now feel closer to the Neanderthal debates. ×welcome×

_ disney is a good way for the j(yo)ungsters to dive in the unconscious aspect of all our lives on Earth. Yes, i have diff calling myself an artist though i will say i ll gladly promote the label jungian, activist, ... alien, though we need be careful with labels as we cannot identify with just one of them or any at all as a persona.

∆ as in re-turn tge youngsters may know that the activist and mother is also the persona in the dream/story.

Sailor Moon season 1 is an excellent way of eduction, Clarissa Pinkola Éstest with Women Who Run With The Wolves elaborates on the importance of story telling.

_ Sailor Moon; Grimes.

*woa, your Sigilsz!!!*
