I’m gonna guess that most people (myself included) saw the candybar format and the word “Nokia” and assumed it was a “dumb” phone. I’m guessing they looked at the messaging app with the largest or broadest market share and used that as a point to clarify that it’s a “smart” phone.
Indeed.
WhatsApp is Meta and should be avoided as much as possible, but there are some countries where it’s everywhere.
I just looked up a flat rental for summer, got contacted by the agency on Whatsapp. I’m not going to try to convert a real estate agent to Delta chat or Signal.
It’s also more popular with older folks who this phone probably targets.
older folks with a Lineage OS phone ? wtf ?
that said, im 61 and interested, so maybe you’re right ? I don’t use Whatsapp though
I think the point he is making is more that older people who dint need anything more than a chat app? They typically don’t need the latest trending app after all so running Lineage might not be as big of an issue as compared to the average 20+ year old.
