Modern-day phones have drifted away from their original intent and function, to make phone calls. Whilst this may benefit the user some people want the plain basics and nothing more. In 2016 Punkt release the ‘Dumb Phone’ which was simply a phone that made calls and sent texts. The design was a hit and sold out quickly. Recently the Japanese company Kyocera release a simpler concept for a phone. The phone has a minimalistic look and appearance to it. Whilst it may have more functions than the ‘Dumb Phone’ the once feature that draws consumers to this phone is the fact it is only the size of a credit card. this makes the phone compact and easily stored when not in use unlike the mammoth sized phones of nowadays. This design is an interesting concept and is a welcome change to the newer smartphones of the modern day.
