“Small smart phones run into usability problems” for you.
Samsung S4 Mini was fantastic for me. Still own a couple. I’d be happy with an updated version.

Smart phones killed small phones. Really, a small smart phone runs into usability problems.
I loved my old Kyocera slider, but all it was good for was phone and SMS.
1" screen, phone is about the size of a credit card.

weeps in dead battery
I had it flashed with LineageOS and would still legitimately use it as a daily driver if its charge would last more than it takes for me to disconnect it from the charger and bring it outside my doorstep.
I also bought a replacement battery but it was still so old that it barely made a difference.

Bummer.
Try some other batteries out there. Mine will still chew through even a good battery (Verizon version, no lineage for me).

2G is dead in most places
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It still exists, just not for us consumers. How else they gonna force us to use the newer networks that cost so much to build.
2G is now available only to commercial entities using it for data connections for remote reporting stuff. Oil fields still use it for SCADA reporting, for example.
