The quality of many dumb-phones is dubious, I think we need more options. Alcatel and Mobiwire are just prone to breaking. My Alcatel dumb-phone started to get awful call quality after about 1 year and the keypad didn’t feel 100% consistent, one button had to be held more firmly than others. In the end I had to go back to a smartphone because I needed clearly call quality. On most dumb phones you don’t get VOLTE (HD calling for anyone not familiar) but my problem was worse than not having VOLTE, it was a defective phone.
My friend has a budget android phone, I mean so cheap that it’s only on Android version 10. The on-screen keyboard is tiny and it’s kinda stupid. It still has all the apps even though it really shouldn’t.
