I would say if one cannot live without a smartphone (for stuff like banking and all + instant messaging) a good middle ground between a dumb and a smartphone is a kaios (formerly FirefoxOS) phone + an android or ipad tablet for home. KaiOS phones usually have a small screen and are underpowered which limit the appeal of browsing and doing too much shit on social medias but the basics are there:
- google maps
- whatsapp
- a web browser
- wikipedia
- note taking
- audio player
- a small camera (not for nice pictures but to snap information)
- 2FA OTP app
Usually all the stuff you might really need an android for (banking, healthcare, whatever) can wait for you to be home but you can still decide to bring a tablet in a bag when you know you will need it for a specific task (or when travelling).
