A new trend among the Gen Z generation is showing an unexpected return to simple phones, known as "flip phones" or "dumbphones."
According to this phenomenon often called "digital minimalism", more and more young people are choosing retro 2000s models, with a flip cover, to reduce their dependence on social networks and avoid overload from constant notifications.
Although smartphones remain dominant in the market, interest in simpler devices is growing among young people seeking a "detox" from digital life and social media algorithms.
This trend is also pushing various companies to produce minimal phones, without complicated applications, focusing only on basic functions such as calls and messages.
The result is a nostalgic Y2K-style throwback, but with a modern purpose: less screen, more focus on real life.
