Based on your needs you can’t really use a dumb phone; so why torture yourself by pretending a cheap-ass smartphone is a dumb phone?

Yes, form factor and "dumbness" are orthogonal - it sounds like the commenter you're replying to wants an ultra compact smartphone, not a dumbphone?

[paulrouget]

Correct.

I need a small phone that just do basic stuff. But sadly Signal and Spotify are what I consider basic.

Signal and Spotify are available for iOS, so why don't you get a 4.7" iPhone SE?

[paulrouget]

Because I want my phone to be as basic as possible. No notifications, no icons, just plain text menu.

Android can be configured to be so bare that my phone is just a black screen with 5 menu items: music, signal, map, text, phone.

Personal preference.

You can still do it on iOS using a custom launcher, such as Blank Spaces [1].
