Comparing a Modern "Vintage" Phone Handset to an Actual Vintage Phone Handset

My mom gave me this Native Union POP Phone (designed to look like a vintage handset) and I thought it might be fun to compare it to an actual vintage phone. To my surprise, it came with an adapter to make this process much easier. The earpiece makes a decent LoFi mic but the mouthpiece is much more clear than a vintage phone.

I didn't take it apart to find out what's inside. I may do that in a diff video... but it just worked as is. I was surprised.

The reason why modern one isn’t lo-fi is because it has a preamp & some digital audio converter circuitry? Was that earpiece a crystal element, they need an impedance matching hi/lo Z microphone transformer to make it work properly?
