Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Not smart but clever? The return of ‘dumbphones’

A smartphone or dumbphone? Many people seem to think that a smartphone is the first item they need when they go out. Well, if you want to be connected with the rest of the world and friends all the time, and need certain apps for searches or payments, you surely need a smartphone. But if you don’t go out so often or don’t use those fancy apps that much, a dumbphone, a basic handset that gives you limited functions such as phone calls, text messaging, and photo-taking, might be your next mobile phone. Well, if you are at home and connected to the Internet all the time, you can use your PC or tablet instead of the tiny display of a smartphone. And a dumbphone is much cheaper itself and the monthly fee is substantially lower compared with iPhone with 5G. In fact, there are people who have switched back to dumbphones to be smarter.

Enjoy reading the article and learning about how to be smarter without a smartphone.
