Designed by [HMD Global](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-phones), the device features a flip phone functionality that is devoid of touchscreens and large displays in favor of compact components that increase the overall portability of the unit. The cellphone has a somewhat retro design, but is well-equipped with many modern functionalities including connectivity to [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiophone-prima-4g), [WhatsApp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-mobile-technology), Google Maps, YouTube and even Google Assistant. This could make the device applicable for consumers seeking a pared-down alternative to smartphones that doesn't leave them totally disconnected from services they've become reliant on. The Nokia 2720 is also equipped with 4G connectivity and boasts a battery that's rated for 28 days in standby mode. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Revived Flip Phones:** There is an opportunity to cater to consumers who want an alternative to smartphones that has modern functionalities but with a classic design. - **Compact Mobile Devices:** There is potential to develop devices that prioritize portability and ease-of-use over large displays and touchscreen functionalities. - **Pared-down Alternatives:** There is a market for simplified devices that offer basic features without the added bells and whistles of smartphones. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile Devices:** The mobile device industry has an opportunity to cater to consumers who desire a device with modern functionalities but with a classic design. - **Consumer Electronics:** There is a potential for the consumer electronics industry to create compact mobile devices that prioritize ease-of-use and portability over large displays and touchscreen functionalities. - **Telecommunications:** The telecommunications industry can create pared-down alternatives to smartphones for consumers who desire basic features without the added bells and whistles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Millennium-Inspired Cellphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-phones.md) - [Nostalgic Flip Phone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-n90.md) - [Modernized Millennium Cellphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-3210.md) - [Premium Retro Mobile Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-150.md) - [Advanced Lifestyle-Focused Flip Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcl-flip-3.md) - [Flip Phone-Inspired Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-flip5-retro.md) - [Retro-Chic Nostalgic Flip Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-phone.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Cellphone Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noka-7610-5g.md) - [Refined Elegance Flip Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oppo-find-n3-flip.md)
