Skimming through the comments about how bad is KaiOS has destroyed my pretensions of getting rid of my Android smartphone and use a dumbphone instead.
For me, it would be great to have a simple, privacy oriented phone with a decent camera and, in terms of apps, just maps, Spotify, Telegram, Whatsapp (sadly still having friends/family there) and MFA. (Banking app from the bank I use would be great but that's too much to ask for). I guess the sweet spot is gonna be in a middle range smartphone compatible with Graphene or Lineage and install a minimalistic launcher in it.
- 0x38B 4y agoI enjoyed my Nokia 2720 flip phone for half a year. It’s got a Google Maps web app that supports voice search, enough for looking up hours or a phone number. The camera is bad, but enough for photos of products or things to remember. If you know what you’re getting into, it’s not a bad (smart) dumb phone, especially if you are looking to get away from a smartphone. I rooted mine to install a QR code reader and app for ePubs.
