I had a friend who went to Singapore, way back when those were fashionable. There was a kind of adult toy that looked just like that. People, adults, would buy them and then go outside to a place where they could be seen and lift it like they were making a call and talk for a long time like in a phone call, except there was no other end of the conversation. They were trying to show off they were rich enough to have one.
My friend said it was a very sad sight, seeing adults who needed to get their self-actualisation through such an obvious pretense.
I guess they are the same kind of people who buy Rollex watches - they were not even smart enough to know the real one has only one 'l', let alone all the other details that mean anyone with half an eye could see they were a pretender.
