Anyone saying this phone is destined to fail miserably - don't look at it from your viewpoint, but from your (grand)parents'. My mum can't stand touchscreens from an UX perspective, plus she hates the constant charging. All she ever does is call her friends and family and send the occasional text to check on us.
There are currently phones that serve her well (e.g. Nokia 230). This is another one.
- mikeash 10y agoI can definitely see the utility of a simple device. It seems like a niche market, but there's nothing wrong with being niche. However, you'd think they would update the radio so it would work in more places....
- icebraining 10y agoI still see quite a few of them even among the 30-50 years-old range. Here in the lowest rungs of the developed world, the choice is often between a featurephone or a very cheap Android, and the latter are often unusable crap. Personally, I use a 20€ Wiko Lubi4 and a tablet instead. Smartphones are jack of all trades, but not really satisfying for any. That said, even my Wiko does support four networks. Seems shortsighted to be selling these nowadays, even in the markets they're targeting.
