I don't really think so. Who nowadays would want to buy a feature phone when smartphones are so cheap.
An entry-level smartphone can do all the same things a feature phone can and even more. Why would you want to limit yourself in this day and age?

- kyllo 10y agoNot only battery life but also durability, which lowers the lifetime cost of ownership. Feature phones last a long time, they're harder to break since they're usually not enclosed in edge-to-edge glass, and basically everything about them both hardware and software-wise is simple and battle-tested.

- kome 10y agoI can use my Nokia 101 for 5/6 days, without charging it. Also: it's much smaller and lighter compared to any smartphone.

(Especially Android smartphones, and especially cheap Android smartphones.) The smartphone form-factor is geared towards buying and playing games -- it's essentially a glorified game console. It's a popular product but by no means universal.
