iPhone or Galaxy? Windows or Symbian? When
it comes to choosing a new phone today, these are the questions dominating
one’s thoughts. Our smartphones are very much a part of our lives. But what
happened to the traditional phone – the one that simply made calls and isn’t
“smart”? Are they still made and why are people still buying them?
Interestingly, it was only last year that
smartphones outsold their “dumb” counterparts. Worldwide smartphone sales rose
46.5% to hit 225 million units shipped, while sales of traditional phones
declined 21% year-on-year to 210 million units.
