Solve : Smart Phones Down, but Dumb Phones Up!? |
|
Answer» An NBC TV station gave this report. "People are tired of having the same smartphone as everyone else," said Maxime Chanson of Lekki, a website that sells vintage mobile phones to a high-end clientele. "Some people have had enough of the ultra-connectivity of the 21st century and are looking for a phone that gives them some space for their private life, without being constantly interrupted."Hey! I did not put this in News. I put it here in other. The fact that many people hate smartphones is not news. But my question are: Why can't Smartphones make friends? Why are they so hated? The argument could be made that the incursion of more general-purpose capabilities onto smartphone devices has changed their capabilities and featuresets enough that they no longer fit the bill for those who are looking for a mobile phone. That is, they aren't looking for a device that let's them send tweets or VIEW INSTAGRAM or comment on FACEBOOK or play games, or browse the Internet, but rather something that is a phone that is mobile. The Nokia 6110, for example, is an older phone which fits that requirement. Another useful advantage is that with their more restricted featuresets their batteries last longer. For some consumers who work in remote areas, the 150+ Hour sleep time of a 6110 for example wins out over any features of a modern Smartphone where the battery life is relatively low even in sleep mode. ADDITIONALLY, because of it's simplicity there is no concern about whether there are background apps or other apps consuming battery power unnecessarily.Never even thought about it, but the Nokia 6110 is a bit of modern history. It had different styles. Image from a Google search. [attachment deleted by ADMIN to conserve space]I saw an article a few days ago saying that the current iPhone sales spell disaster for Android. I didn't read the article... It's always the same thing for mobile phone news. iPhone sales drop and it spells disaster for everyone. iPhone sales peak and it spells disaster for everyone but Apple. |
