One of my friends from Spain sent me this link from La Revuelta earlier this week where the host talks about making his phone a “soviet phone” with just the bare basics.

Kinda crazy and cool to see people following this dumb phone style on mainstream national TV of all places, even just cleansing their home screen of all the dopamine instead of using a flip phone.

Rough translation for English speakers btw:

David Broncano: Look what I have as a wallpaper. Nothing.

Dani Martín: Nothing? Are you angry?

David Broncano: No, because I want to use the phone less, look what I did! My phone, if you unlock it, I took everything out. It’s like an ‘82’s phone.

David Broncano: Well there weren’t phones…like one in ‘97. I got it like this: I unlock it. Can you see it here? I unlock it and this appears: there’s not even icons. It only says: calls, messages, emails, browser. It has nothing, it’s a soviet phone from ‘99.
