Foldable cell phones from the mid-1990s are suddenly the darling of the post-millennial generation, despite their cameras being quite inferior to their current smartphone counterparts.
These smaller, lighter, and cost-effective devices float on the surface.CNNSome of them are available for less than $ 20, after they have become a “trend” (a popular fad9 on social media, especially TikTok, through videos of young people showing their enthusiasm and fascination, while opening the box of their old new phone.
Many of the young promoters of these models show the beauty of these devices and that they are free from the worries of social networking sites, and that they help give up the attachment to photographing everything due to the low-quality camera.
It seems that this new trend has become a prominent feature of the post-millennium generation, so that the singer Camila Cabello, expressed on Twitter last Thursday, that she is a supporter of that revolutionary team, attached pictures of her carrying an old phone from “TCL” foldable.

And the actress, Dove Cameron, announced in an interview last November that she had switched to the foldable phone, and that she had deleted the Twitter application, noting that she found that spending a lot of time on social networking sites on her phone was “bad for me.”
This feeling prevails among the post-millennial generation, after the impact of social networking sites has been linked to the mental health crisis of adolescents.
Psychologists say that with the ubiquity of smartphones and social media since around 2012, the rate of depression among teens has increased.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, the rate of teen depression nearly doubled between 2004 and 2019.
