@dredmorbius A Japanese keitai flip phone? Could still be a smartphone though (there are ones with Android 5)... I think the cover decorations and other accessories definitely give people options on how they show their phone when calling.

@austin I'm not familiar with this. Any specific examples?

@dredmorbius Sorry for late reply... See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_mobile_phone_culture . For stores that cater to foreign customers see https://y2kphones.com/collections/japanese-keitai-flip-phones and https://kyoex.com/categories/Shop-Flip-Phones/ . More recent models do come with Android now, though personally I'm fine with a bare-bone OS.
