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". [5] This fits in with the general trend of modern flip-phones being seen as a less-harmful alternative to cell phones. [6]

Software

The Nokia 2720 Flip runs on the web-based operating system KaiOS. [7] It runs many more modern apps including, but not limited to, WhatsApp, Facebook, Google Assistant and YouTube. [8]

Reception

In February 2020, the Nokia 2720 Flip received an iF Design Award 2020 by iF International Forum Design. [9] [10]
