Well, here's something you don't see announced often (or ever, for that matter): A smartphone that can't connect to the Internet. 。

That's right, Samsung's new Galaxy J2 Pro (it ain't a "pro" anything if it can't go online) is intentionally designed to have no way to go online. And nope, we haven't slipped into a Tardis and time traveled into April Fool's Day 2019. 。

Apparently made for students and senior citizens, the J2 Pro lacks any kind of cellular data connectivity.。

Samsung's press release (Google translated) says the phone "blocks mobile data such as 3G, LTE, and Wi-Fi" with the intent of helping students focus on learning (instead of, you know, getting distracted by Instagram and stuff).

All this for about $185!

All this for about $185! Which is just terrible considering there are cheaper budget phones that have more features and can go online.。

If you're really addicted to going the internet, it might be good to just get a dumb phone (although even those can connect to the internet, too). You won't even be tempted to take selfies that you know you can't post anywhere.。
