Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main features of North Korean smartphones like the Haeyang 701 and Samtaesung 8?

These phones feature aggressive censorship, including auto-correction that changes sensitive terms. They lack global internet access, relying on a state-controlled 'Intranet', and contain surveillance software like 'Red Flag' that takes hidden screenshots.

How does censorship work on North Korean phones?

Censorship is implemented through aggressive auto-correction, automatically changing phrases like 'South Korea' to 'Puppet State'. Certain words may be replaced with asterisks, and leader's names are often auto-bolded.

What is the 'Red Flag' software found on North Korean phones?

'Red Flag' is a deep-level surveillance program that periodically takes hidden screenshots of the user's activity. These screenshots are stored in an inaccessible directory, allowing the government to monitor usage without the user's knowledge or consent.

Can North Korean smartphones access the global internet?

No, these phones are restricted to a state-run 'Intranet'. While they may display Wi-Fi icons, the hardware is typically disabled for global access, limiting users to government-approved content and applications.
