What you are looking for is a Ricoh GR III or IIIx [0] (same camera, different fixed lens focal length). It's super pocketable, and you can turn the screen off completely, although it doesn't have a viewfinder, so with the screen off you can't really know what you are framing - it could be fun to try and guess after getting the hang of it. Image quality would be much better even than the latest flagship phones. Finally, you can browse the images on the camera afterwards and wirelessly transmit the ones you want to edit/post to your phone/tablet/computer. You can also have presets for color filters and highlight/shadow tones, so you don't really need to edit in post if you prefer. It's truly a great little camera, and the price is not that bad (usually around $1000, but can be found for less, or you could go with the previous model, GR II).

There's not a chance in the world that thing fits in women's pants pockets!

What I'm looking for has the form factor of a phone (potentially even much smaller) and a camera like a phone, but all it does is take pictures. I'm fine with seeing the pictures on a screen, just not editing them.

It's 4cm shorter and 1cm narrower than an iPhone 16. Of course it's also 4x thicker (~8mm vs 33mm). Another alternative would be getting something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Coolpix-Digitalkamera-Megapixel... although I am not sure about the quality of images you can get from that.

If the image quality is good enough for you - you could try out an iPod touch.

I was hoping for something that's been manufactured more recently than 5 years ago, but I do wish that type of device had caught on better than it did.
