There are still people buying cell phones instead of smartphones and for good reason.

Cell phones that aren’t smart still have a place in the world, as noted under an upward trend according to the Wall Street Journal.

According to the Wall Street Journal, there are users in the world and specifically in the United States who are still acquiring mobile devices with few features on the market. We’re not talking about low-end smartphones, we refer to those that dominated the market several years ago. Nokia is the perfect example of a brand that continues to sell phones that aren’t smart.

The non-smartphone trend persists

It’s been a long time since we’ve talked about anything other than an iPhonea Galaxy, a Xiaomi or any other brand that is about to launch a new device. The Wall Street Journal noted that Generation Zyoung people born between the end of the 90s and the beginning of 2010, They pay attention to cheap mobiles as an alternative to using. Out of curiosity, managers also do the same with Nokia devices.

Instead of buying smartphones as advanced as Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, iPhone 14 Pro or any other high-end, prefer to be disconnected from notifications and the infinite scrolling of a screen and opt for SMS and voice calls. Nokia is the brand that benefits from this trend. According to an official from HMD Global, “this is not a small trend”.

A small investment to disconnect from everyday life

There are options starting at $40., a color screen, Bluetooth to use wireless headphones and a camera so poor you won’t get any details. Of course, it is a low cost that many young people consider to disconnect from their daily lives and be reachable by their friends and family.

WSJ testimony from an 18-year-old indicates he is stared at while using his $40 Cingular Flex phone. such other friends considered buying the same device and using it daily. In this testimony, he states a great truth: “(…) we feel like slaves to our phones, like robots parading and parading, even in the evening”.

Some of us as Apple users use one of those keypad phones with a black and white or color screen with the basics, rather with what was there in previous years. The exchange of messages and calls was fashionable, now operators offer this communication for free as part of their tariff plans.

Finally, the Testimonial from an English teacher in a prestigious university, he said that his job is very intense, he is always in all possible directions. She doesn’t want a cell phone to compete with her for her very limited time and attention..

Would you choose a secondary motive that is not intelligent? It would be a good test to see how far we are able to free ourselves from our daily technological lives. A year ago, through a study, it was revealed that Nokia with an operating system like KaiOS has a market share of 2%.
