I would genuinely like a smart feature phone. I've been trying to cut down my phone usage but need Whatsapp just to stay connected to friends and family.

  That's going to be one of the main issues for these types of phones. The applications people really do need vary enormously. I basically just need two applications, both for work, Google Authenticator (or similar) and a specialised app from our telco that manage our on-call number. The rest I can do without. Perhaps it's worth remembering that these "smart feature phones" aren't meant for people who just doesn't want a smart phone. They are meant for people who can't afford a real smart phone, so the feature set will creep towards being a full featured smart phone. For those of us who genuinely do not want smartphone, there's currently not much on offer, unless we truly do not need a single smart phone feature. I have a small set of features I'd like to see in a phone: * Hotspot support, so both WiFi and 4G * A TOTP application * BlueTooth, for wireless headset and writing SMSs and managing the contacts from an application on my computer Other than that the screen can be a black and white LCD for all I care.
