I was seriously looking into purchasing a dumb smart phone, a la Light Phone 2 or Punkt MP02. I want some messaging, audio, maps etc but keep the slot machine apps as far away as possible. This simple guide saved me at least € 300 on the purchase of a new phone... for now.
Looked into this category specifically and Light Phone 2 is actually an e-ink touch phone with Android as its underlying OS. I may reconsider my choice later on, but for now these solutions will do.
