#KaiOS 4.0 expected to be released this year! ️

https://kaios.dev/2024/12/whats-coming-in-kaios-4.0/

Expected features include:

#Gecko 123 engine (released Feb 2024)
#Android 14 base
️ 5G support
Same APIs as KaiOS 3.0
️ Better #cookie sandboxing
️ Maybe copy-paste functionality!
️ First out in #India and the #USA (a good sign, as KaiOS 3 devices were only available in the USA till recently and hard to develop for at that)

WhatsApp support cancelled by February 2025 for some KaiOS based feature phones #Meta #Whatsapp #KaiOS #FirefoxOS #FeaturePhones #Android #iOS

My ideal phone:

Mandatory:
1. Is not a smartphone
2. Supports at least 4G
3. Has a physical QWERTY keyboard (or, I can buy one separately and dock it, or connect it via Bluetooth)

Preferred:
4. Has a microSD slot
5. Has a removable battery
6. Can play audio files via bluetooth
7. Charges via USB

Anyone have any suggestions please? I'm based in the UK and don't have a huge amount of money but I do have a Google Pixel I'd be happy to sell.
