Target Audience
editAccording to a 2019 article from The Verge, "If you’re seriously considering buying a feature phone like the Nokia 2720 Flip in 2019 then I think you’re likely to be one of three kinds of people. Either you live or work in the developing world, where smartphones sometimes aren’t a practical option, you’re the kind of person who thrives on nostalgia for a simpler time, or else you’re trying to do a “digital detox,” and decrease the amount of time you seem to waste staring at screens every day".[5] This fits in with the general trend of modern flip-phones being seen as a less-harmful alternative to cell phones.[6]
