I have the fig phone (not the flip) for about 6 months. Yesterday the camera app disappeared.
I tried restarting the phone, nothing helped, anyone has any expiriance with this?
New FIG Kosher Phone
KosherPhoneFan I saw they stopped marketing the f1 overall and just have the flip phone. I want the f1

looking4aphone I may know someone who wants to sell one (used)
Wouldn't recommend for anyone this phone.
Very poor service, in some indoor locations service drops, sometimes I get messages hours after it is sent.
And now my camera disappeared.
Another issue that I have, when I want to export the contacts a error pops up, & it doesn't allow to export.

KosherPhoneFan You have to contact Fig support to get a software update to fix those issues
[Login to see the link] I see on reddit r/dumbphones that there's a new f21 being tested made for US bands..

Yes. It is a modified version of the FIG as far as I've been told. But the seller has told me it's not under FIG's brand, but instead a QIN F30 branding, and then they will do the filtering for those that want/need it. I will do some testing once they send me an unit and will provide my thoughts as always.
Flippy Exactly what jbriones said -- Also jbriones i'm trying to get a hold of you!! I saw your post on the subreddit...can we DM somehow??
[Login to see the link] FIG is the kashrus "brand" they took a bunch of F21s and put software on it. So we're all talking about the same thing.

looking4aphone Yes. You can DM me on reddit or email me. I don't know if there is a message function on this forum, but you can also use that. You can find my email on my YouTube page

jbriones95 will it be very expincive like the fig?
Jjbriones95Level 5 - Gold Elite Member
sdmde No idea yet. They will be sharing more details with me once they send it. Sorry for the scant details, I'll share more when I have more to share

jbriones95 Got it. Nice to meet you here Jose! What I want to know is will the product in question have BETTER network compatibility than the FIG? Because the Fig is also being marketed as "US Bands" but in actuality runs into a lot of issues. In short: Hardware or software? And will it be approved by any US carriers?

BTW the original device of the fig phone, "Xiaomi qin f21 pro" has a product update. The Xiaomi qin f22 pro which is supposedly much better.
Jjbriones95Level 5 - Gold Elite Member
Flippy As far as I've been told, these are hardware modifications that have improved over the FIG. I'll have to test myself as companies just say stuff nowadays without truly proving their methods. I'll keep everyone posted for sure

Reifam Correct. I am getting the F22 pro at the end of October hopefully

Flippy [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link] I am hoping to get a tracking number within the next week from the company selling the Xiaomi Qin F30 (rebranded F21 Pro for the US market). We'll see how this goes! Just wanted to keep you updated
