I learned about the finder from the paper "Swapping 5G for 3G: Motivations, Experiences, and Implications of Contemporary Dumbphone Adoption" at https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3637402 https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3637402 . Its list of "dumbphones" includes this rugged flip-phone:
Sonim XP3plus - https://www.sonimtech.com/products/devices/xp3plus/ https://www.sonimtech.com/products/devices/xp3plus/ . Has GPS/A-GPS, GLONASS, Galileo.
For non-flip phones, the recommender mentions the Punkt MP02, https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp02-4g-mobile-phone/ https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp02-4g-mobile-phone/ , which includes Signal,
and the Mindful phone, at https://greentouchstore.com/products/mindful-talk-and-text-mind-phone-kosher-phone https://greentouchstore.com/products/mindful-talk-and-text-m... ; the latter is based on Rabbinical Guidance ("Based on their policies the phones will not feature any internet or entertainment apps besides Text message app and Offline Music Player")
In the kosher category is also the Fig Flip II X - https://figkosher.com/products/fig-flip-ii https://figkosher.com/products/fig-flip-ii
There's the Light Phone II - https://www.thelightphone.com/ https://www.thelightphone.com/ ("a premium, minimal phone. It will never have social media, clickbait news, email, an internet browser, or any other anxiety-inducing infinite feed.")
Mudita Pure, https://mudita.com/products/phones/mudita-pure/ https://mudita.com/products/phones/mudita-pure/ . Uses an e-paper display, designed for low EMF, and includes a meditation timer.
