Most current flip phones use Google's Android. They have for a while now.

not this one. its a nokia with no internet. calls and text
It's "Android-based" - MOCOR - but the fact that it doesn't do anything at all (not to mention not sideloading apps, because there are no apps...) limits how much the "Android" part matters wrt this conversation.
It obviously inherits all SIM-based evils and other carrier/OS issues, but the app store stuff is irrelevant here.
Not just the android ones, KaiOS nokia\hmd phones have google maps and assistant for some reason.
Maybe we can pressure KaiOS to finally release 4.0 without google shit and HMD to spit out more dumb phones🤞🏽
