      Virtually all current flip phones run either Android or KaiOS under the hood. The giveaway would be any Google app pre-installed, or any app you already recognize.

      The era of “dumb” flip phones is long over. I would be very surprised if any are still being manufactured.

        my current one actually does have an older, and very stripped-down, android… but no google anything installed, and no google play. i don’t even have a data plan attached to it–although it does have a mobile browser and can function as a hotspot.

      Where do you buy something like that? Everything I’ve ever seen that’s not an iPhone runs Android.
