You don’t do any important stuff on your phone. Others might not have the luxury.
Notably, in Vietnam people use QR payments a lot. If you want to interact with them by, say, paying at a small local restaurant, you’ll need a phone (or a stack of cash, and please do prepare change).

- notpushkin 9mo agoHmm, yeah, I guess you’re right. There are tradeoffs, but if they’re worth the benefits for you – yes, you can live without a smartphone. For this to work for me personally, I would need webapps for ride-hailing and preferably food delivery, and to learn how to navigate the city without a map. I think I might be able to pull it off for some of the places I live in.
