A New Pocket Habit: Secondary Phones Take Center Stage at MWC

At MWC, a wave of 'secondary' or minimalist phones aims to give users a break from constant smartphone use. Unihertz's Titan Elite 2 offers a slim, pocketable Android with physical keys for dedicated texting and calling, while devices like the Light Phone III and Fairphone explore simpler or focused modes to curb social-media scrolling. The idea is to provide a separate device for focused communication or a screen-free experience, but high RAM costs and price pressures may hinder broad adoption.
