[BlindTlk] Help buying a smart phone please...

Mon Jun 3 23:51:44 UTC 2019

Hi,

Did you know this device seems to be running Android 2, and no built-in
TalkBack at that time.  I think you had to install it separately.
https://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_mytouch_q-4231.php

I'm not sure if the current Google Accessibility Suite containing TalkBack
would even bee supported.

More importantly, this phone is no longer supported and your personal data
could be at risk.
