Announced a short time ago, the Callback 8020 is seen as a means of combating the addictive lure of the modern-day smartphone. While it supports Android apps via its SailfishOS, it disables features like web browsing and social media by default.

However, despite the noble quest for a ‘digital detox’, the phone met with a somewhat frosty reception online (no pun intended), with many comparing it to an elderly relative’s flip phone. In our poll, 70 percent of you said you wouldn’t be buying one.

      Yeah but it runs Android apps so it might as well be an Android phone. Again it’s just a cheap flip phone being priced extraordinarily and branded with a company that never made smartphones or dumb phones or phones of any kind as far as I’m aware.
