On certain Android devices (Samsung, or Xiaomi's MIUI,for example) there is a mode called Ultra Battery Mode, or Battery Saving Mode, which only allows you to pick 6 apps, and in exchange the phone will run for a week on one charge. I actually use it for this specific reason - helps to focus and shuts off the constant stream of notifications. I think you would be able to get one even cheaper than your budget, as most models would have this feature. The good and bad thing about it is that you can switch it off and use it as a normal phone if you would like to.

- arbeitandy 4y agoWith my pixel 5 running android 12/13, the similar mode is called 'extreme battery saver' - it felt like that's available for all android phones? I disabled most apps in extreme battery saver mode except for the podcast and map app. Then kept the phone running in extreme battery saver mode 24/7. only enabling email app temporarily during lunch hours. - running like that, a full charge usually lasts more than 2 days and the phone is super quiet and fast.
