The Freedom by Okapia has a 1.44-inch TFT display, a single sim card slot, Bluetooth, and a 350mAh battery. Wait what? No typos here, people. This mobile device is a legitimate non-smartphone. For the longest time, a BlackBerry would be considered as your go-to Bat-phone. In other words, your emergency, get down to business phone on the side. And that's exactly what Okapia can be for smartphone users. Except, well, it also serves as a remote to a larger device, connected through Bluetooth. Again, you read that correctly.
Nowadays we see plenty of heavy users on mobile devices, reaching out for that power brick so they can harness the extra juice for those extra hours. That's a wonderful gadget to have, except we're always falling in the risk of losing our very expensive phones. This is where your emergency back-up comes into play. The demission of this phone are so small, you won't ever have issues discretely calling for backup in your time of need. It does serve has a functioning phone, but the real attraction comes in its remote capabilities.
You can even backup information like your messages or contacts, transferred through Bluetooth, if you ever do need to use this device as your last resort. As mentioned before the size of this thing is absolutely tiny; it's as if you're holding an Apple Remote for your Apple TV. It weighs next to nothing and you can place in the palm of your hand with room to spare. Will it replace your own remote control at home? Of course not. At Tk1,990 though, it could be a legitimate investment.
There's nothing spectacular about this device, and it's not pretending to be anything else. It serves a very simple purpose. Like the navigation throughout the device, it's too darn easy to get these confused. However, those of you with glasses or not-so-great eyesight, it'll be a bit difficult to view certain options. In addition to one drawback, this phone can only connect and synchronise with Android devices. There seems to be a little hitch with its pairing with an iOS or Windows device. Surely, the updates in the near future will fix all that.
