As Denis Kuskov noted, there has always been a demand for push-button telephones.
“About 25% of the audience are users of push-button telephones ... There are those who are in the country, newcomers who cannot buy expensive smartphones.
These are the supply disruptions that happened last year ... There is probably a line of business that exclusively uses push-button phones as the main ones.
Therefore, all this has accumulated, and in the first half of the year, sales really increased, but I do not think that there will be significant growth in the second half of the year, ”the expert explained.
In turn, Leonty Bukshtein noted that the demand for push-button telephones is quite stable.
The interlocutor of RT added that they are used mainly as a fallback and simplified version.
“It is convenient, it is reliable, even more modest in size ... Surprisingly,“ push buttons ”do not completely disappear into the past, they live with us and do their job,” the specialist concluded.
Earlier, as Kommersant reported, retailers talked about the growth in sales of push-button phones in the Russian market in the first half of 2021.
Retail experts explain that push-button phones are being replaced by many Russians who have been transferred to a remote location due to the COVID-19 pandemic, stationary devices.
In addition, the beginning of the summer cottage season and the return of labor migrants to the country are among the probable reasons for demand.
