I can relate. I spent some time using a simple feature phone. It was impressive how quickly and effectively I could slow down. I felt more present, read more, my thinking become clearer. But there were annoyances: my country is in a similar path as China's in terms of transfering payments and internet banking to smartphones; restaurants are more and more adopting QR codes to access the menu as a very inconvenient, unreadable menu in PDF; certain commercial and government services got very hard to get unless you're using a smartphone using their apps; among others. So I recurred to a midterm: quitted most of my social media and did some habit-changing exercises to interrupt my instincts of getting the phone and wasting too much time in it. It hasn't been as effective as my feature phone period, but it's been a good compromise.
