North Korean smart phone

the South Korean word "oppa," which directly translates to older brother but has become a popular term to address older male friends or romantic partners, gets autocorrected to the word "comrade."
"This word can only be used to describe your siblings," reads a warning that automatically pops up on the smuggled phone when a user types the word "oppa."
And the word for South Korea automatically changes to "pocket state," North Korea's preferred term for referring to its southern neighbor, which has a vastly more mainstream government and relationship to the outside world.
Worst of all, the device is taking a screenshot every five minutes and sending it to the authorities — files that the user isn't even able to access.
