The Nokia 225 or 6300 4G are pretty solid. They’re cheap, tough as nails, and do the basic call/text thing perfectly. Plus, they usually have a decent battery life, which is a huge bonus. The main thing is figuring out what you really need. If it’s just calls and texts, those Nokias are hard to beat, and they’ll definitely help you ditch the doomscrolling.
You can dumb your smartphone down. Remove what apps you want to cut down screen time.

Sturdy aluminum case, thin design, limited 3g network connectivity. Just a fantastic phone.
