Both of these are known as 'dumb phones' and nod to [retro elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-design-archives), dating back to a time before smartphones took over. The feature phones are designed with the updated software along with familiar elements of the 12-key number pads, a classic headphone jack, microSD card slots, and more. There is also the micro USB charging feature and the iconic Snake game integrated as well. These remind users of a time much less complicated, functioning in a minimal way. These phones also have a bright tonal look of blue or pink.
