One day you can ascend to even go smartphone-free.

Ascended to that in late 2014 because using a smartphone was a trigger for my anxiety.

Back to using those since 2020 because of WhatsApp calls, apps for every shit and such being needed in life.

I have two these days, one Google™️ Pixel™️ for all government and job bullshit, and one crappy old riced to hell and back Sony for everything else. No Google play, no SIM, rooted and ROM'd, no problems, just a neat multi tool in a pinch.
