This is round table.
There are children and elderly people.
There are young folks who have simply grown tired of doom scrolling and social networking.
And they are looking for a cell phone that has the simplest capabilities like texting and making phone calls and maybe navigation and taxi hailing, perhaps a bit more.
But it's growing increasingly more difficult for them to find their ideal gadget.
Hello, I'm Lai Ming and this is roundtable today with Li Yi and Steve Hatherly.
Let's find out whether there are any alternative gadgets for Take Lodi's of our times.
When I say take load eyes, I'm talking about, you know, young people who have grown really tired of staring at a screen and reading online novels.
And for their young people that are sick of that, I'm sure they are.
It's a very small percentage.
Perhaps if I still qualify as young people, then yeah, I'm one of them.
Okay, so there are people that are looking for a simpler version of smartphones, or should we call them dumb phones?
I think there is this trend observed not only here in China but also worldwide that especially young people, I mean, even though it is a small percentage, some young people are turning back to this sort of feature phone, or where we call it as dump phone.
Well, when it comes to the definition of what is actually a dump phone, it is actually a type of mobile phones that retains the form factor of earlier generations of mobile phones, meaning that it's quite different from the smartphones that we are using nowadays.
And it can be flip phones or not.
And these phones have buttons that you can press and of course, imagine that.
And of course the screens are not touch screensh.
And the operating system is also simpler than what we have, Android or iOS.
And also they have limited features than smartphones, of course.
