Target audience
According 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".{{Cite web |last=Porter |first=Jon |date=4 October 2019 |title=Nokia 2720 Flip review: proof you can't opt out of the smartphone generation |url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/4/20896976/nokia-2720-flip-phone-review-specs-features-price |access-date=2022-10-15 |website=The Verge |language=en-US}} This fits in with the general trend of modern flip-phones being seen as a less-harmful alternative to cell phones.{{Cite web |last=Bello |first=Camille |date=22 June 2023 |title=What is a 'dumb phone' and why are so many young people buying them? |url=https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/06/22/what-is-a-dumb-phone-and-why-are-so-many-young-people-buying-them |access-date=2024-05-13 |website=Euronews |language=en}}
