I used the Jelly 2 for 6 months https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-2 https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-2 Highly recommend it for people who want to get a smartphone break. It's a "proper" android with maps, google pay and surprisingly all apps run on it. But the small size of the screen (and the keyboard) somehow does not emit dopamine when casual/mindless browsing and the urge to check things quickly disappears like if you don't have a smartphone in your pocket. Yet it's sufficient for all the apps and features if you need them occassionally. I switched back to an iphone after moving to a city where i have to use a smartphone a lot more for uber, food, maps, payments and entertainment for long commutes.

> […] a city where i have to use a smartphone a lot more for uber, food, maps, payments and entertainment for long commutes. That sounds dystopian. I can understand how a smartphone might be required if you are exclusively dependant on private ride sharing companies for transport, but the rest? Ordering food can be done on a normal computer, or just by calling or going out (buying food to cook yourself just requires going to a supermarket). Maps exist on paper, or on any computing device with a browser. Portable music players and paper books are still a thing for entertainment. Does paying for services require a smartphone where you live?

  Not really required but a lot more convenient, even more so if you don't speak the local language.
