With D2M technology [...] the device can directly receive broadcast signals and stream multimedia content without requiring an active internet connection.

So they.just reinvented the DVB-T tuner.

Edit: I looked it up and it's literally just that. The fact they're shoving it into feature phones is interesting.

Techbros reinventing older tech without realizing it

They didn't reinvent it, they just took a tv box chip and shoved it into a phone.

Edit: the soc that they are using is worse than the feature phone soc in my old Nokia from 2008. What the actual fuck.

Some day!.. I will gather my willpower and learn Hindi/Urdu/whatever this is at least on a basic level, because grammar doesn't seem much harder than English/French/Armenian/Persian/... .

But not today.
